Neils assistance 12/08/07

Get out of town
I think I will get out of town

looking at myself in the mirror
local watering hole
two tone guiness cascades both directions
mendicant women and boastful lads
both tan beyond the suns rays
both in need of something from me
all of these people think they have it made
but I would not buy, sell, borrow, or trade
anything I have
to be like one of them
I think I will just start all over again

get out of town
I think I will get out of town

a shelf breaks off from the glacier
droping into the ocean
hiding 90% of its body and its thoughts
slowly floating away, slowly melting
soon to join the other side of conformity
trying to leave one cast,
only to find the inevitability of another
trying to be original, free
impossible I say, everything is a comparison
nothing exists without a label and an oppsite
in a vacuum, who would I be?

get out of town
I think I will get out of town

Packing and unpacking
fighting between surrender and a spartans fate
there really is no battle, there is nothing to win
nothing to attain

get out of town
I think I will get out of town
