A Thought's An Idea...

So I pacify problems with kisses and cuddles
Diligently doubtful through all kinds of trouble
Then I find myself choking on all my contradictions
 
In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
’til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains

Watching people roll by
Wonder where they're going
Hey, what's your job?
What're you knowing?

Ain't life grand
Ain't life grand
 
I'm hanging out with me
And you're a vacant chair
A chosen compromise
This space we rarely share

And if you lived here you'd be home now

So what you givin' up for me?
And what shall I give up for you?
Aimless expectations passing by

If you lived here you'd be home now
If you lived here you'd be home now

And to make it real
I need to have you here
I need to have you
I need to hold you
 
Without you I can move
I can stretch my arms out, I can feel it
And when I'm in my room alone I feel good
Because I don't have to deal with you or the outside world
 
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
the shadow in the background of the morgue
the unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
we can live like Jack and Sally if we want
where you can always find me
we'll have Halloween on Christmas
and in the night we'll wish this never ends
we'll wish this never ends
 
Water the music, plant the seeds in the pot
Music's the life flowing through... is it not?
Don't forget your roots, but also don't rot
Move on
 
You and me in a cloud of reverie
Spin around inside my head unendingly
thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize
 
So what do you do when somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing "I will survive"
Do you lash out and say: "How dare you leave this way"
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
 
"And I never saw blue like that before, across the sky, around the world, you're given me all you have, and more .... No-one else has ever shown me how, to see the world the way I see it now...."
 
I wanna go to place where I am nothing and everything
That exists between here and nowhere
I wanna go to a place where time has no consequence oh yeah
The sky opens to my prayers

I wanna go to a place where I am suspended in ecstasy
Some where between dark and light
Where wrong becomes right
 
I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late, I’m already torn

So I guess the fortune teller’s right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I don’t care, I have no luck, I don’t miss it all that much
There’s just so many things that I can’t touch, I’m torn
 
I just want to take you away from everyone
And keep you stashed under my pillow
And then I'd take you out simply for my own pleasure
And hold you and the occasions special
Then I'd put you on like a diamond
So I can sparkle and be the envy of my friends
I'd probably hold the leash that I'd have you on
So you can't stray and follow me around all day
 
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
 
Somebody's out there, somebody's waiting
Somebody's trying to tell me something
Somebody's trying to talk to me
 
She's kinda freaky
She's kinda weird
She's kinda freaky
But I don't know
I think she's a genius
 
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
