"Partly Almost, and Mostly Not" is what she saw said the Astronaut

This monster is raveneous and vicious
it basks in the smell of open flesh
Wounds bleed and heads are jerked in suspiscion
I devour my spirit until there is nothing left.

Is it possible to eat a human soul alive
Is it possible to live without the fear I will die
If we worry about the past are we even alive at all
Or re-living moments that would eventually lead to my downfall
We can be the greatest storytellers in our minds
Make up all kinds of pretty shapes and designs
Simply to justify the reason that we feel the way we do
and to put the blame for my unhappiness right upon you

It is my choice to be unhappy
It is my choice to be free
I can consider this hand crappy
Or I can open my eyes and see

I am the paint and my goal is to make art
You can't paint a picture if you don't know where to start
You can't have desire without will
I can't make moves if my mind is standing still
If I think therefore I am
If I dance then I no longer just stand
I don't want to smell of stagnent fish ponds
I will make my flight not too soon before long

I can see the present now instead of a memory
I won't let my past live through me.

That's What She Said to the Deaf Spider

Sometimes I imagine your face is a mirror
I can see the words I am saying and they don't make sense
As they leave my mouth the message could not be any clearer
That you are not the one for whom I was meant

What I mean is that I don't understand
How hurt could be a part of God's plan
Why must I build up all that I can muster
Just to end up fucked in a cluster.

I mean all at once
All at the same time
I am a circus clown doing stunts
Just to take some of the clouds off your mind.

It was always less about me and more about you
I couldn't do right no matter what I'd do
If I pawed at the moon I could get the tides to change
I would be in a different world nothing would be the same
Every building would crumble at my hands
I just need a cosigner for my dastardly plans.

Vast majority puppets on the brink of Bedrock

And so I see it

The change that tides bring
The songs that people sing
The dances that people dance
In hopes of a second chance.

It seems so peaceful and serene
To understand the things that I've seen
To wake up and appreciate the sunshine
To realize this day will ALWAYS be mine.

Explosive yet full of fear
I hope the Staple sisters will meet me here
It feels like the place in the song
Where all is well and nothing can go wrong.

I sit by the bonfire watching my life go up in flames
I try to be flexible and show the world my full range
I can be more than a beating heart
You can be a rocket, I'd like to be a comet by far.
Reaching my reality is my destiny
Losing is not a choice for me
So vivid, brilliant, and of this earth
My feet are grounded my actions have been well rehearsed.

I am a space kid who is way above his element
One day I will learn to take this life and cherish it
But until then I will ride out this massive wave of thought
And I will learn the lessons that cannot be physically taught.


I will think of life as a mental exercise
And think of the sky as a resting place for my eyes
Everyone is sitting around waiting for the world to change
Look for reasons and someone to blame.

That's it, that's all I got
Signing off your rocket man space boy stellar astronaut
