Grex Poetry Item 63: "Afraid of paranoia" toking
Entered by toking on Thu Mar 18 20:21:47 UTC 1999:

"Afraid of paranoia" 

here I am again
but here is someplace else
here we go again
but we're going someplace else
we're trapped in this silence
not of words or deeds
but simply muted emotions
afraid to feel too much
or look too close
and I feel a bit too much
like some deranged bum
screaming that the end is near
and my personal armagedon 
slowly bleeds into you
we run and run and run
around in circles
much too afraid to be paranoid
and here we are again
but where is here anyway
and here we go again
but where are we going
pretending is breaking down
and we are going with

"Afraid of paranoia" mark 2

here I am again
but here is someplace else
and the cold comfort
is slowly burning in
your glass backed smile
quickly lures me down
every word is spoken
the last hand is played
here we go again
but we're going someplace else
it looks like home
but you can taste the change
in the waving yellow lines
of ornamental trees
we're trapped in this silence
not of words or deeds
but simply muted emotions
afraid to feel too much
or look too close
so we watch what burns around us
ignore what burns within us
and I feel a bit too much
like some deranged bum
screaming that the end is near
and my personal armagedon 
slowly bleeds into you
here I am again
chasing around in circles
much too afraid to be paranoid
and here we are again
but where is here anyway
I don't recognize a thing
and the faces are all so strange
I thought I knew my world
but it likes to throw a curve
