Incubus

(Stellar)
Meet me in outer space
I will hold you close
If you're afraid of heights
I need you to see this place
It might be the only way 
That I can show you how 
It feels to be inside of you

(I Miss You)
To see you when I wake up 
Is a gift I didn't think could be real
To know that you feel the same as I do 
Is a three-fold utopian dream

(Warning)
Bat your eyes girl
Be otherworldly
Count your blessings
Seduce a stranger
What's so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness
When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
I suggest we learn to love ourselves
Before it's made illegal
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to see it all fall down
Those left standing will make millions
Writing books on the way it should have been
When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious
To the water starting to boil
No one flinchesWe all float face down
When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by

(Drive)
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear 
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I am beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive 
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive? 
It's driven me before 
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that 
When I drive myself my light is found
So whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there 
With open arms and open eyes
Would you kill the Queen to crush the hive? 
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive?

  1. I'm not used to interpreting poetry, but I think I understand how these relate to your journey. I love you.
