Wednesday is Lopsided

This is the accent of the halfhearted land. Does it all make sense now? And if the ship was built in bottled sand does it all make sense now? The anchor's kiss was scrawled in dyslexic crayon, yes it all makes sense now. Is this just a life preserver or a bivouac tenure? The tropic of cancer answered, "drink the quicksand". A mirror was splintered on the deck floor, does it all make sense now? A stowaway that lived beneath this hull, does it all make sense now? The anchor's kiss was scrawled in dyslexic crayon, yes it all makes sense now. Is this just a life preserver or a bivouac tenure? The tropic of cancer answered, "drink the quicksand". It's gills will swim faster after a breath from the shore, breathe the taste of salt water, dry heave up and overboard. Ponce de leon wrinkles, let's make it young again. Boat drinks for captains, row our boat stowaway. It all makes sense now. If our map was torn, navigate. Navigate if your compass broke, navigate, navigate.

Tuesday is Borrowed

When I was younger, living confusion and deep despair. When I was younger, ah hah, living illusion of freedom and power. When I was younger, full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend). When I was younger, ah hah, everything simple but not so clear. Living on borrowed time, without a thought for tomorrow. Now I am older the more that I see the less that I know for sure. Now I am older, ah hah, the future is brighter and now is the hour. Living on borrowed time, without a thought for tomorrow. Good to be older, would not exchange a single day or a year. Good to be older, ah hah, less complications everything clear. Living on borrowed time, without a thought for tomorrow.
