GET OFF


Lascivious, it's all that I can think of as I drag my feet,
Searching like a diogenes,
Dangerous, the adjectives of the decade
And of your alluring intricacies,
I can see your green-screen mentality
And I can feel the sting of it's consequence,
And I know I shouldn't
But it's too much to ignore, an emotion I deplore,
Every time I look at you,
I just want do it,
I can clench my fist right through it
But I just want to get off
Rectilinear, this direction we've been heading
Never realizing we are on a runaway machine,
Angular, the momentum that does turn us one
Step further on our ladder,
One more turn toward the east,
I realize your green-screen mentality
And I know it is shared by many more,
I know it's quite impossible
But I am damned to find a way to revolve the other way,
Every time I scrutinize I just say "screw it",
We're on a ride down a blind conduit
And I just want to get off.
