Not Taking Notice
Shattered dreams and scattered pictures.
Saying you appreciate me at one time
and then bothering me at another.
Why don't you understand what is right?
Thus the looking glass self doesn't expand,
it contracts.
You are in danger of escaping into wishful thinking.
You have failed to plan a correct sense of me.
A real energized mind doesn't want to conceal.
We are living lives of conflicting signals.
I know you're cruel
when you don't want to point me
in the right direction,
although you should, although you pretend.
Maybe I've bought a lemon.
It was manufactured to all intents and purposes,
but the car didn't work right after
I purchased it.
The car of life,
the car of travels and travails.
This Janus quality of life
has extended itself to everywhere.
I know you're feeling it.
That's why you trouble me so.
I have trouble in reacting.
My psychology is quite particular.
I want the straightforward.
I complain about you for not being considerate.
I thought it was important.
Saying you appreciate me at one time
and then bothering me at another.
Why don't you understand what is right?
Thus the looking glass self doesn't expand,
it contracts.
You are in danger of escaping into wishful thinking.
You have failed to plan a correct sense of me.
A real energized mind doesn't want to conceal.
We are living lives of conflicting signals.
I know you're cruel
when you don't want to point me
in the right direction,
although you should, although you pretend.
Maybe I've bought a lemon.
It was manufactured to all intents and purposes,
but the car didn't work right after
I purchased it.
The car of life,
the car of travels and travails.
This Janus quality of life
has extended itself to everywhere.
I know you're feeling it.
That's why you trouble me so.
I have trouble in reacting.
My psychology is quite particular.
I want the straightforward.
I complain about you for not being considerate.
I thought it was important.
