I’m tangled in my thoughts
Strangled is my mind Whisp and dangle Swing and gangle Mangled through the grind Sweepin up my thoughts Creepin till I’m blue Sideways sliding Creepy griming Waiting here for you Creepin sliding Run and hiding Never through with you Holdin on to you Reachin till I fail Grab and flailing Roll and railing Rolling over you Holding loving Creepin crowding Never through with you Hold and rolling Turning golden Never through with you

Another chance One more day to make A new move Or redo an old one What’s the future If it’s not a chance To pick it up Turn it around And make it new again Why would I want to go backwards Backslide to Less than Good enough Do I want to think Good enough is enough If I don’t start moving soon These bones won’t want To move very much Or very far So maybe I can jump A little Slide A bit And get back in the Moving groove One more time Skeleton tree

And they kissed me so good Woke up my heart pounding Felt just the way I would if it wasn’t a dream i was young and serene Feeling the dream Tempestuous love More brief than we know We don’t have forever Mortals here below But I loved the dream For one minute lived the thrill Through the membrane of time The passion was real Bring it back right now passion here and now The truth and the feel youth’s real deal Feel it like it always was Feel it now Feel it now We're finding the gems
