me & the cubicle, we really get along i cannot wish 4 another place, 2 let myself go 2 waste living the life, inside the box no better spot 2 conform, when there’s no choice - nothing quite like it , the illusion of indieviduality someone’s watching; behind the glass across the stream… = typing away, unlike some other games people play supra zeroes on the prowl, scavenging food 4 thought u think u know what u want, while been told what 2 do how can u pin the blame?, when i’m not even there. - reams of data..always on top, bottom line: feeding ur crave 4 wonderlust unsafe in the knowledge, there’s nowhere 2 run. cc 2016 state of denial songs - ASCAP.

better move on, nothing goin’ down here remain as u r , it’ll be alright … take it in stride, is just another ride. - keep it 2 urself, got 2 check out of this place retracing steps 4 the missing link, around the bend = shaken 2 the teeth, glass half full 2 empty small cracks breachin’ the surface dabbling…on the edge - u can only go so far…what, when, where or why? who cares in the end… if out of control, & upside down = no 1 ever… gets their away whatever it takes 2 handle with care, feel the rush; standing still - ever changing moods, trying 2 hold ur ground there’s not enuff room 2 roam with ur back against the wall cc2016 state of denial songs - ascap
5.
unlike some other tools, getting used 2 under pressure setting the tone, aiming 2 strike the core disfunctional hopes on hold - fading into the blu shape of things, missing forms ; against the norm = out of line & played 4 awhile lost in the shuffle, without a ride pointed fingers, a little 2 late 12 steps , 2 nothingness. - in the 40’s & out of gas slowly closing the gap begging the question while knocking around = in silent consent, motion detector… within range . unable 2 contain, under the influence no need 2 introduce urself slipping & sliding like no 1 else = coming 2 prominence through up & downs, fit 2 scale. cc2016 State of Denial Songs - ASCAP.

resolutions & con-tributions, 1 last chance 2 make sense convolution then dissolution @ once on the run, with the setting sun - inorganic elements, 2 sick 2 pick ur poison 6 o’clock dinner talk, 2 set the wheels in motion a ho’listic approach always works best, lay down the snare, let’s c what happens next! = lonely dots, seeking 2 join a sentence 2 finish in style, catchphrase along the line made sure 2 4get, what this was all about main thing is, meantime 2 stick it out - 2 finish the grift, need 2 know the score seems 2 b the case, there’s a loopwhole 4ward request, 4 some kind of check on balance , what’s the take away? cc 2016 State of Denial Songs - ASCAP.

pieces of paper 2 send a message pieces of paper 2 write a song medium of xchange 4 hopes and regrets another way 2 set a play on words pieces…pieces of paper pieces, pieces galore. - pieces of paper 2 take a test pieces of paper 2 measure stress a formal sketch 4 resolutions made 2 b broken, in the end pieces, pieces of paper spread all over the place ( floor ) - pieces of paper 2 read a statement pieces of paper 2 sign away no rhyme or reason between the lines missing the small print, a fact of life pieces, pieces of paper piece of mind in con-promise… - pieces of paper 2 pay ur dues pieces of paper 2 find a clue what’s the meaning of this nonsense a forest… falling through pieces, pieces of paper… piling up to the roof - pieces of paper 2 put it 2gether pieces of paper 2 thicken the plot taken 4 granted … can’t tell what’s lost from the empty spot! pieces… pieces of paper… dotting the lines. cc 2016 State of Denial Songs - ASCAP.

selling ur soul 4 fool’s gold jumping hoops in the line of fire on display so every1 can c carried away with the scheme - breakin’ loose to nurse ur ghost ugly under the gun while the kitten purrs don’t let it slide…as the tables turn = without a trace, twist of fate not giving anything away who’s 2 say, what comes next? let’s not even go there… - last i heard, u won’t tell all is fair, haze in the shade… cc2016 State of Denial Songs - ASCAP.
9.
show me some proof, tried & true pointless x-ercise, hands @ work unable 2 synchronize - pulling the strings, patterns fit 2 scale as if by design, going steady ticking with the times = no need 2 think about a thing in a sense, more attention always gets paid 2 the quizzical aspect of this game - some variations, in order 2 address, a common weakness, out on display unwilling 2 play, more of the same cc 2016 State of Denial Songs - ASCAP.
10.
white lies into the stream, out & about 2 spread some thrills u get some, but give none seems like u can’t let go - trying 2 fake it round the block, 2 face off aging hipsters, by the paper cut making ends meet, dibs on the run loners keeping 2 themselves watch it when it hits the fan pumping gas, while the well runs dry gaining insight, picking up the tab = 2 hot …2 handle drawing a blank another night, out of sight many questions, across the wire - white lies, riding the wind blinders behind the glass leave it alone, cravings 4 attention must b ignored = pressed 4 time, up in smoke low on the totem pole play both sides, rolling the dice let it slide - leaving empty handed, drifters pacing up the slack disturbing normal fare chasing after chance = missing the marks, too high 2 bid the price, left 2 ur own devices, burning the fat of the land, - well wishers, coming through lowering the stakes, show & tell, living proof white lies, so far so good = how long , can we pull the stunt? another scar, playing 4 keeps, down 4 the count bitter taste in your mouth - breakin’ loose can’t stop the rush, b4 the crush wishing 4 a fix, worn out shell, cracking the sleeve = silent witless, setting sun, through the clouds could care less, after fx white lies, remain the same. cc 2016 State of Denial Songs - ASCAP.
11.
after every 1 leaves, 2 tired 2 go 2 sleep can’t get a thrill, playin’ with the joystick - there’s no getting around ticking, off the wall rocking the cradle diggin’ 4 golden dust = coding the message trying 2 reach the beach the sting’s in the tail sea crest under stream - 2 take on the challenge goin’ mental will do no good the sound of sirens tearin’ up, through the roof. cc 2016 State of Denial Songs - ASCAP.
12.
sinking like a stone murky water, sure runs deep coming undone trying 2 keep an even keel - letting go getting cold aloof in silence blinded by the fog = after x-ing the line feels so wrong 2 do what’s right greying old keeping 2 urself steps ahead 2 loose ends - endless night, cold sweat lonely souls, in their cage crying shame in paradise nothing left 2 say, rolling the dice = confidence men working the scheme out 2 get u sight unseen checks on balance 4 misdeeds staying put b4 retreat. cc 2016 State of Denial Songs - ASCAP.
13.
doing ur thing, as always double take , off the scale just b-cause, unintended consequence conventional witless, game of chance - pushing & pulling, key 2 the con-set minor glitch, or major bluff one slip, around the corner pressing ur lips, on 2 another … - former soulmate , c’ing 2 b-lieve it match made in haste, ties that bind out of the blu, trying 2 keep it cool going about, toning down the sly = setting the scene, ambivalence referent a 5th of the pledge, adrift in lies unlike what u come 2 xpect failing all background checks. cc 2016 State of Denial Songs - ASCAP.

about

Mental Physical Media sampler 2016, Vol 4.

misplaced prose:

cruising 4 a chance, in between the waves
need some relief, where 2 begin !?
nothing quite like it, across the stream

shaken 2 the teeth, dabbling on the edge
out of line, 12 steps... 2 nothingness
lay down the snare, let’s c what happens next!

pieces of paper 2 put it 2gether
all is fair, haze in the shade
going steady, ticking with the times

white lies, remain the same
there's no getting around, digging 4 golden dust
aloof in silence, blinded by the fog

pressing ur lips, on 2 another.

aloof in silence, blinded by the fog
