SO MANY QUESTIONS
WHEN SOMEONE MAKES YOU FEEL DUMB
FOR ASKING ANY QUESTIONS
IT'S USUALLY JUST BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS
THERE ARE NO DUMB QUESTIONS
BUT MAYBE DUMB ANSWERS
WHEN AFRAID TO ADMIT
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT
SIZE
WHAT IS THE RIGHT SIZE
DOES ONE SIZE FIT ALL
HOW SHORT IS TOO SHORT
HOW TALL IS TOO TALL
CURIOSITY
ANIMOSITY
AN ATROCITY
A MONSTROSITY
WITH VELOCITY
CURIOSITY
A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK
I ALWAYS HAVE MY ARMOR UP
A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK
BEST KNOW WHEN ENOUGH'S ENOUGH
SO JUST WATCH YOUR BACK
AM I PART PORCUPINE
PART ARMADILLO
DON'T GET TOO CLOSE YOU'LL FIND
IT'S BEST NOT TO KNOW
I HEAR THE SOUND OF WAVES
SOMETIMES WHEN I HEAR THE TRAFFIC GO BY
I HEAR THE SOUND OF WAVES
IT CAN'T BE THE LAKE NOT REALLY NEARBY
A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY
IT CAN'T BE THE RIVER RIGHT DOWN THE BLOCK
IT ALWAYS SEEMS SILENT BUT PERHAPS NOT
MAYBE SENSING ITS PRESENCE IN SOME WAYS
CONVEYS TO ME THE SOUND OF WAVES
WHY DO WAVES
WHY DO WAVES COME IN THEN GO BACK OUT
WHEN THEY REACH THE SHORE
DO THEY FIND IT'S NOT WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
SO THEY GO BACK OUT YET TURN AROUND AGAIN AND AGAIN
THINKING MAYBE THEY WILL FIND SOMETHING DIFFERENT
YOUR EARTHLY TRANCE
TOO MANY CHOICES
SO MANY VOICES
WANTING TO BE HEARD
IS THAT SO ABSURD
TRYING TO GET THROUGH
TO MAKE SENSE TO YOU
MESSAGES ARE THERE
IF YOU DARE TO SHARE
JUST BECAUSE YOU CARE
TRY TO BE AWARE
GIVE THEM ALL A CHANCE
TAKE A SECOND GLANCE
KNOWLEDGE MAY ADVANCE
AND IT WILL ENHANCE
YOUR EARTHLY TRANCE
IF YOU'RE PERCEPTIVE
OF DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
IN BETWEEN THE LINES
OF MANY DIFFERENT TIMES
THERE IS SO MUCH TO FIND
WHISPERS FROM THE PAST
WHISPERS FROM THE PAST
TAKING ME BACK
TO RELIVE THE GOOD OLD DAZE
MAYBE SO MEMORIES DON'T FADE
SOMETIMES I GET CARRIED AWAY
AND FORGET THAT I'M STILL HERE TODAY
SEEM TO SPEND MORE TIME REMINISCING
THAN ACTUALLY LIVING
IT'S NOT JUST ONE OF THOSE STAGES
BEEN DOING IT FOR AGES
THAT'S WHAT MOVIES ARE FOR
DO YOU EVER JUST
WANNA RUN AWAY
JUST GET TIRED OF
SAME OLD STUFF EVERY DAY
THAT'S WHAT MOVIES ARE FOR
SO MUCH YOU CAN EXPLORE
IN THE COMFORT OF
YOUR OWN LITTLE CAVE
IT'S A SAFE ESCAPE
ANYONE CAN TAKE
ANY TIME OF DAY
YOU CAN DRIFT AWAY
