Glue - It's ok
(from the album Catch as Catch Can)

Welcome to America, The land of lost clarity,
The comedy you’ve been living, has strayed away from sanity,
I had to get out, leave the circus to the animals,
Praying they understand cages are mechanical,
Open the lock and set foot on independent concrete,
They’ve walked on stilts making their own beats,
Complete with fooling themselves with another turn,
With numbers burned into their skin, And low class wages to earn,
There is always room in the world for someone like us,
Surviving on someone else’s love and trust,
Plus when the high fades of being in somebody’s arms,
Claustrophobia stuns your body with its crushing charm,
You open hopeless eyes to find surreal landscapes,
Seeing nothing that resembles the old cages shape,
Lost at the crossroads, adjusting to freedom,
Building with each step, claiming clouds as your kingdom,

One man’s poison is another man’s food,
We don’t need your explanations, and we don’t need your rules,
A bird can fly, but a fly cant bird,
We don’t need your science; all we need are your words,

No leashes, No drugs, No pieces of love held captive,
The fake world in flames with the clothes I was trapped in,
To appease the chimpanzees staring through my skin,
Never In my days did I imagine I’d win,
A primitive battle of wits, words that shatter and split
Hit in the heart to make the light go dark, grips onto
Other species weakness, then feed feed feed,
I learned your language, by watching your greed greed greed
With first person power, I’m no long second class,
I’m enlightening your kind with a big huge splash,
In the gene pool, introducing schools to the truth,
Their windows are just excuses to keep Nueces on the youth,
At arm’s length from freedom, they can borrow my keys,
Or I’ll teach you how to pick these locks with ease,
They can’t make you the same, no matter how hard they try,
I found paradise the day I let my shadow die,
Now I sleep with both eyes closed because I have options,
With Solace in the truth that only god is watching.

One man’s poison is another man’s food,
We don’t need your explanations, and we don’t need your rules,
A bird can fly, but a fly cant bird,
We don’t need your science; all we need are your words,
