All Against All

This is the best of all plausible worlds
Think long and hard about what that means
We know compassion is instrumental
In a system where it's either him or me
We know it's a never ending game
By the lights of the self-made man
He's striving -conniving- to prove his worth
In a freedom fight along property lines for all time
A freedom fight along property lines:
The gleam in the enlightened philosophers' eyes
The more we ask for, the more we yearn
And we will get what we deserve
As it was written, so it would seem
Power over other is power indeed
And on deaf ears the cries for justice fall
When it's all against all
In the state of nature or by the law of the land
Freedom for the wolves means death for the lambs
There are no folded flags, no names on granite walls
For the casualties on the war of all against all

False Spring

When they boarded the private plane
When the boys in Houston said
"All systems are go"
They set themselves against the moon
Knowing full well what it might do
There was an icy glare
Till rocket fuel inflamed the air
Florida's change of season is the beholder's eye
And Florida had it's reasons for setting our hopes sky high
Panhandle warming, another January morning
The shuttle reincarnate is a road
Now westward the barefoot artist makes his way
Each thing he sees he calls by its name
A screaming comes across the sky
Mistook the climate for the weather's turns
Another case of the dreamer's disease
Should a fine day break on God's green earth
Who else but dreamers will believe?
In the headlights' glare
One last gulp sacred air
In Florida, winters seem to wear spring's disguise
And Florida is the reason that the best of us have died

I look at the past, it's like a foreign land
I hear a language I can't understand
I'm a stranger
On a memory screen, two figures embrace
They're so naive, but I can't look away
It keeps drawing me back
Those moments were bigger than me, bigger than you
I'm wise and sensitive enough to know it's true
If you could be here to hear me now, you'd see
If you could somehow read my mind, you'd agree
I look at the past, it's something like a dream
I face who I was and who we used to be
Please try to understand
Please see me as I am

In The Loop

Nothing goes unsignified
When the psyche has been securitized
Self-surveillance marks the age
Of collapsing expectations
Ask yourself
How do you feel?
Ask yourself
For all to hear
The choice is yours
You can go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
Everyone you've ever loved is here
In the hall of mirrors
Ask yourself
How do you feel?
Ask yourself
For all to hear
Listen to yourself, don't conceal
Nowhere else are you more needed than right here
So don't turn away
A shared desire for a private sphere
Is the tie that binds each peer to peer
No one can blame us
For merely being
What we fear
Or for wanting
To disappear
We're all looking for something
We are what we fear
Then we disappear
