Multiply your fears, and divide them by your tears
carry the smiles, over the long, lonely miles
add in the mix, a little confusion
some lost love to produce, a heart contusion
it all equals finding out who you really are

I see through one-dimensional laughter and smiles
with 3-D pupils and my third eye
my minds eye tends to make me feel
eye-solated
I see what I don’t want to
suffering, pain, and terror

My angle on life is right
90 degrees doesn’t come close to the heat
produced by my passions
instead of going parallel with everyone else
I chose to go perpendicular and intersect at the right angle
by not going along the same lines as everyone else
many think I’m square
I’d rather be square than running in
circles

the world is round, but it’s going in more circles
than just orbit
the “constant paper chase” has the world running like rats in a maze
I’d rather walk a straight line and when I come to
forks in the road....
Pull out a roadmap for life
I don’t want to be mourned for having
a wrecked angle
and end up in a rectangle
box before my time

I’m seeking solitary solicitude by
solidifying my dreams into solid matter
but if in solitude is how I must live
where can I find love?
My arms are too strong to hold
myself

I need to elevate my mental to the next plateau of existence
until I’m dead to reality and live only at night
where I can release myself from the shackles of
humanity
