If I had it my way
I'd keep this garden a secret
Forever.
But who wants to stay
In the same place
On the same page
As someone else
For days on end?
No I am just a Peter Pan
Who just wants to hold your hand
Wendy,
Would you follow me
Keep it a secret?
Would you love me
Until I believe it?
Wonderful, improbable.
Don't lie in my wonderland if you
Can't even hold my hand,
And fly away from this place.
Well I can relate.
I need this,
This rush of affection
From lost boy to pirate
And back and forth.
I don't want to grow older.
The best part of my night's
With your head on my shoulder.
I need this,
This rush of affection
From lost boy to pirate,
Oh yeah it's a war you know.
I don't want to grow older.
The best part of my night's
With your head on my shoulder.
Never say never in wonderland,
I wish I could take your hand once more.
I know I had to go but
Wendy you should always know that
I'll come back to you,
Back to Neverland,
It's true.

I'm disappointing my dad
Around the Christmas table
Where the family sits.
Oh no!
And then we opened all the gifts
And I got something I don't deserve.
My mother's crying.
That's something we don't deserve,
Oh no, oh no.
Then we opened all the gifts and
It's something we don't deserve,
Oh no!
The Loneliest Catstronaut
Is casting off to outer space
Because the sun doesn't love him,
Yeah, the sun doesn't love him the same way.
And the stars, they cry.
Bright,
Like us.
Just call me the Catstronaut,
The Loneliest Catstronaut.

I call this useless fuckup restless night syndrome,
And it's shock value at best,
Contrarianism at worst
Like mashed up potato senses
Served up warm at the dinner table
As I ruin my perfect position.
I believe that Socrates would be so upset with me
While Mensekin's Law of Bureaucracy states that
There's never a time to do it right,
But there's always a time to do it over and over
And it's the third time and I am charmed.
So by picking up the pen
I swear I'll never lie to myself again
Because my ink stains with blood honor.
I think that my life is panning out to become
Something similar to a Disney movie
Except I die instead of my family.
I'd be grateful if my life turns out to be
A Disney movie only I die instead of my family.
I'm trying to be a human being,
But circumstance keeps following me.
I'm trying to be, I'm trying to be,
But it's bringing me down.
I'm trying to be a human being,
But circumstance keeps following me.
I'm trying to be, I'm trying to be,
But it's' dragging me down.
I'm not pretending that
It's not enough
For your sake anymore
So take me back,
Take me on.
Fuck.
Everything sucks
For the Loneliest Catstronaut.
If everything sucks,
Well maybe it's just you.
If everything sucks,
Then I'm blaming you.
Fuck.

Cast me, as a line, out to sea,
Reveal a scene of beach imagery.
Sitting, sullen, sulking in the sun.
Woo!
Sitting on the pier,
Nobody here, I fear,
In the sun
We're sitting sullen.
Bored walks on boardwalks,
Shit talking sidewalks 'cross shore blocks.
(They're my best friends)
No one selling sea shells, she says.
When imaginary objects are my best friends,
I cast my line out and pretend
My life is a hitch in a fisherman's bend.
I caught something!
I caught you again...
Say I'm not the one more time,
Your body, your style, your mind:
Divine.
I see you stepping back in time.
When you said you'd never leave,
You lied.
I felt sick when you said,
I said I'm sorry, I'll say it again.
You sat down, hardly,
Then got up again.
I said I'm sorry I said
"I felt sick when you said-"
"I said I'm sorry, I'm sorry again!"
You sat down, hardly,
Then got up again.
"I said I'm sorry! I said I'm sorry!"
I said,
"I caught something!
I caught you again..."

You're not a loan,
You're a body.
Property of me,
Yet not quite, sorry.
Hand on the neck,
Don't try to remember it.
It's not my problem.
Knock on the door,
"It's open."
And in she walks,
And down my jaw drops.
"I know it's not what you want,
I came here just to talk."
"So talk away", I say.
Composed, she rose,
Stepped forward and obeyed.
"What happened to that intelligent,
Happy man I loved?
He always knew just what to say,
I knew he was the one.
The man I see is bitter, sad,
He won't accept my love."
I stood up then, knew what to say,
"Just listen then, my dove
I'm not that self anymore!
No, you took that part of me
And walked right out the door."
And I said, "Well too bad you're not
Looking for friends because
I'm not yours anymore!
But you know, I'll act just like before."
And you said, "Well too bad because
For once I thought you'd grown balls,
Spoken for sure.
Because I'd be into that, instead
You let thought pass,
At last it's over!"
But something survives
With no wish to be alive.
I can hear it's cries.
"You said it was over so why am I alive?
You didn't shoot the pooch, you let it loose!
And now without food, without shelter
Think it can survive?
And yet I was stupid?"

There's not a lot a dozen roses couldn't fix,
I suppose.
I suppose I was wrong.
Oh no she's looking at me,
Oy vey!
Do I slip by her eye?
In this game of hide and seek,
You peeked, you cheat!
Now what can you mean by
Playing fairly?
Fairly? Yeah, sure. Barely!
There's not a lot I could fix
With a dozen roses.
There's not a lot I could fix.

Everything is spinning,
Beginning all at once,
Please stop.
Judgement calls:
Shots you're not too fond of.
Everything is spinning,
And now I'm lost,
Blinded by the frost.
Judgement lulls:
Please stop.
Everything is thinning,
Beginning to see something I like in you.
Beginning to see between the lines.
From what had become,
You'll see what happened to me
Was perceived to be a release,
A second chance not to cease,
Reasons to be.
Everything I do
To please you,
It kills me,
So kill me.
I'm so tired of running away,
And that's so easy to say
Now that you've found me,
So kill me.

I am not your enemy,
I don't care much for empathy,
I don't check my horoscope
'Cause I don't fuck with astrology.
The stars have misled me,
And if I've learned one thing
It's that signs
And stars do not guide me.

Did you leave me at the door
Or lying on the floor?
I've lost track I can't
Remember anymore.
And my back is so sore.
I can feel the tension build,
Applied to my bones.
It's not like I remember.
Stoned, shut down, thrown away,
And that's all you had to say for yourself?
"It's not like I remember"?
So you think it's okay to throw me away again?
I think not my friend,
Not this time!
I've left just enough
Space in this rhyme for my escape.

Sum Geese

My brain, the collective,
Of elastic panoramas,
Combining all my problems
Into the prologue.
My brain, the collective,
Of dead operators who probably got what they deserved.
So don't leave a message.
My brain, the collective,
Of raw frustration, over complicated wrong equations.
She checked the math, and she said,
"You're out of the equation."
I'm not myself anymore,
I think I just went ahead and
Lost someone else.
What I thought was a part of me
Is now apart from me and I'm
Not the same sad cat
I was before you coerced
My heart into yours.
And you just can't believe it
Until you see it,
I need it.
I lost myself
Inside your mind and your beautiful eyes.
I lost myself
Beside myself and you can't quite believe it,
Oh well.
I know I'm not the last one on your mind at night,
Just tell me I'm wrong.
It's hard to move on
With a bunch of dead operators
Who can't stand to hate her another day.
Sum geese just don't find their way.
(I know I'm not the last one on your mind at night,
Just tell me I'm wrong.
I don't want to move on.)
Sum geese just don't find their way.
