Absent Minded
Selectively Numb
Miscreated motives
The world full of problems
Twisted frenzy of emotions
which have no assonance.
Congregation coloring conformity
Dressing up with the saints
Facing the intensity of confrontation.
Misrepresenting an appearance that's fake
Living in a repacious world,
wanting to shrink away...
seeing reality as gullible.
Consequently amazed,
Typical of the current period,
Hands reaching for the Golden Age.
Selectively numb at forty below zero
And I'm holding on
At the bottom of the cess pool
choosing my way.
finding a different reality to live through,
as everything stays the same.
Searching for a significant feeling,
pondering the meaning of shame.
Stumbling in the right direction....
to find I've gone the wrong way.
Living in every other temporary delusion,
wanting to give it away.
Jumping from confusion to conclusion.
Consequently amazed.
Typically politically incorrect,
assigned another life today.
Selectively numb at forty below zero.
Silently holding on.
The world full of problems
Twisted frenzy of emotions
which have no assonance.
Congregation coloring conformity
Dressing up with the saints
Facing the intensity of confrontation.
Misrepresenting an appearance that's fake
Living in a repacious world,
wanting to shrink away...
seeing reality as gullible.
Consequently amazed,
Typical of the current period,
Hands reaching for the Golden Age.
Selectively numb at forty below zero
And I'm holding on
At the bottom of the cess pool
choosing my way.
finding a different reality to live through,
as everything stays the same.
Searching for a significant feeling,
pondering the meaning of shame.
Stumbling in the right direction....
to find I've gone the wrong way.
Living in every other temporary delusion,
wanting to give it away.
Jumping from confusion to conclusion.
Consequently amazed.
Typically politically incorrect,
assigned another life today.
Selectively numb at forty below zero.
Silently holding on.
