about

As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

This song is to the complacent and the ignorant who ridicule the abnormal for their thoughts and actions in which they do not care to try and understand.

On a personal level, this is a reflection on the poignant years I spent following and not thinking, and a plea to my ubiquitous internal shroud that for so long inhibited me from expressing myself.

lyrics

Okaying away the uneasiness won't make it true.
Please don't punish me. At least I am still searching for clues.
It's not that I didn't know what to do with this oppressive sort of blue.
But I know that I've a thick list full of things to do and I see you have none. Not even one.

But I'll be there with the captain in the gazebo
And you'll be caught on the other side of the bridge.
You'll point out my inadequacies through the glass.

I'm wondering how many other dreams you have killed.
I just had a thought that your past must be unfulfilled.

I can feel you looming in my head; I hear laughing from the dead.
But I live. I'm here. And it is all that I can do to keep from running like a fool... I don't want to.

So I'll be there with the captain in the gazebo.
The captain comes and he goes so very fast.
I feel your loathsome presence beating through the glass.
I look around and see this place is gone; this place was all I had.


Dragging me on down won't define my circumstance.
I'd like to find love. But you'll tell me I made him up.
Can't he hold me closer?

I'm caving in; alright you win; revel in it.
