ride the joywave ride the joywave

heat reaches it's peak

follow it's descent with your eyes

albatross slain in your sleep

by you as pale blue cries

and as i stare at the stars

on the ceiling of my bedroom

that my mother put there

when i was just a kid

i see in the green light

a great glowing presence

that reflects the remembrance

going on in my head

brief respite from the world of

unknown notes i know

return alone again and

wonder why i left

stare long enough

to get my point across

but not so long that

i get another man's point across

(i've never known what i want)

i'm tied to a chair

near a leech slowly creeping

so i'm happy for now

but i know that it's fleeting

eat some chocolate

drink some tea

it will all be over soon

the good and bad, alternatingly

music addiction

all cars are sleeping in the street

i'm here awake on the sidewalk

walking back to my bed

because my battery's dead

gimme empathy

after all of this is done

who would you rather be

some beatles or some rolling stones

and how do i dream

does it matter where i sleep

on my left or on my right

pitch black or with some light

i like when it's windy

so they don't hear me sigh

cuz i sigh all the time

sighs are all that's inside

dont start fires on roofs

and you'll be fine
