Come Alive

with rock and bone… I build myself to stand alone… ready
to fill my pride… I learn to hunt in the tiger’s eye… steady

in painted face… transform the self to another place
where no one knows… the things i see… what comes and goes
why the light keeps on shining inside me… i cannot yet explain

who put me here… to fight or flight in the face of fear… eddy
might I be odd….to stand up straight as a lightning rod… allay
a fact surreal … the stage is set in a quantum field
still the light keeps on shinning inside me…. I cannot quite explain

what I became…

bring the curtain down… pass the hat around… when the answer is found and come alive
tell your band renowned… float in colored sound… kick your feet off the ground and come alive
you’re the artisan… and the time has come… you can do it my son… just come alive
you are second to none… you’re the integer one… and the journeys just begun so stand at ease
now if you please… tao entropy

think o one day
sing la tee da
never tell a man though
chic sha la la
anyway you want to
so many ways tell me with your eyes
know ya by your neck ties
though day to day… doubted i… lover innuendo
so prodded I spilled a billion pieces... then sublimated loaded in my mind
saw you in the window
stop… validate… gravitate sullied and aggrandized
seed… levitate all you get is one try
splagchnizomai crying at your feet
this day… I come… alive
