Illusion Of Control By: Noah Eaton 11/3/05 Why am I so little yet I feel so boundless, why I feel so light yet kept steady with ballast, my tongue hanging out like an apron in a picture palace, peppery eyes sideswipe like a satyr in migration, the third law of motion seems to feel like an aberration, sensationalizing sublime cider and tulip exacerbation. Hey, baby, why do I feel so high today, when I've lost breath in this primitive state, and your whisper can feel so penetrating, I have trouble standing straight in one place, and when I do I can't keep a poker face, when your lips are an inch from mine annotating... You're having flag day in the playground of my heart chakra, some of my spokes are loose and I've forgotten my mantra, I see you soused in ecstasy and Mahakaruna, I'm madly in love with everything about you, all I can really feel and see is your flesh, blood and youth, blanketed by your hot springlike incentives and God's truth. Hey, baby, why do I feel so high today, when I've lost breath in this primitive state, and your whisper can feel so penetrating, I have trouble standing straight in one place, and when I do I can't keep a poker face, when your lips are an inch from mine annotating... Baby, sometimes I swear I feel in control, so why can't I ever keep my eyes off of you? Baby, sometimes I swear I feel in control, but we both know that's a lie, when I can't keep my eyes off of you... ...mmm mmm, I can't keep my eyes off of you... ...mmm mmm, I can't keep my eyes off of you... ...we're young, bustling lovers tangled in an illusion of control... ...we're young, bustling lovers tangled in an illusion of control... ...mmm mmm, I can't keep my eyes off of you... ...mmm mmm, I can't keep my eyes off of you... "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |
