Blinders

Hey, how long have you been sitting there?
Me, I'm just plugged into my electric chair
Hey, is there weather still outside?
Don't want to seem like a coward
But all I do is hide

I got my blinders on
I got my blinders on
I got my blinders on
Can't you see I'm gone.

I'm sitting in the dark
Getting no tan from this screen
Pale back light, Holy LCD
It's become the only light
The only light that I see

I've got my blinders on
I've got my blinders on
I've got my blinders on
I've got my blinders on

I don't answer when it rings
That's why God created caller ID
(bridge)
Hey, Even I
see the irony
Escape the real world by watching
something called Reality TV
It's real to me
(chorus)

I got my blinders on
I got my blinders on
I got my blinders on
Can't you see I'm almost gone

Hey, I hear the world is fallin' apart
Won't anyone come in my den and break my heart
My thumbs are getting tired
But I've still got my pride
My stupid pride

I've got my blinders on
I've got my blinders on
The world around me's lost
But I've got my blinders on

Hey, How long have you been there?

Early Riser

early morning, house is silent and the light is gray

I drink my coffee and

think about

what I have to do today

Let the past drip down the shower drain

let the coffee percolate

the ghosts of all your dreams away

early riser, don't be sad

these are the moments

the crystal moments

that you always wish you had

the future starts each day when you arise

so make the best

the very best

of each day

you are

alive
