Little Balloons and Lit Candles

Maybe you and I could find the time
For just the two of us to someday
If that's okay
But for now, here's your present
and a card I made myself to say
Thanks for the invite, liked the music
And a night out, I sure could use it
I'll see you later, and well I
Hope you had a nice birthday

Oh yes, I am introverted
I've exerted all my energy to prove
No you've not got my feelings hurt, it's
Not some new bad attitude
I don't need to meet new people
Though I know you want me to
Just because I left the party
Doesn't mean it's 'cause of you

People are like cakes
There can be layers inside of us
Some like it plain, some like it fancy
Some with ice cream or with nuts
But the one thing that remains the same
In all us cakes, remember thus
No matter how nice the frosting looks
That's what you can never trust

Little balloons and lit candles
Don't get too close
Don't fly too high
Blow them up and blow them out
And cut the cake, hold tight the handle
Make your wish and share a slice
And say goodbye

Coast Virgo Copter Rock

There's a point in this lonely nightmare
Sharp as a tack on a map
In the middle of the ocean
And a bit to the left
Wherein my dreams feel more full
Than waking life
Real or not
The illusion is marked by its population
The Sandman's space by its weight
Heavy lids like swinging doors
And barren mornings
What a life, so dull
Even drudgery cuts
Kills.
