wishes are fuel for the boorish
desires are fire to the fuel
below the frail fins of the swordfish
the landmines are threatening the school
when all the outcomes seem hopeless
just bow your head, act resigned
the light that gleams through the dimness
will beam down and render you blind
that fleeing, tingling sensation
of getting knocked into a wall
the legoes that hold your foundation
are just building you up to fall
has the world even considered us
or any of of the goals that we seek
'cause bliss and all things felicitous
(are) unique to the the meek and the weak
snakes rip the eyes out of sparrows
their pride is misunderstood
the world tears apart the conductor
(Of) the little engine that could
(I'm) ready for you, imminent guillotine
ready to leap to the floor
the carpet of asphalt below is just a trampoline
it and I have an excellent rapport
the razor, the rope and the other props
make for a dashing decor
my blood will trickle like dewdrops
rotting the earth to its core
