Mind Control

we sing and dance and write cornered this way mercy of lies mercy for the liars believe me when i say it i sing and dance to break a leg break my own ankle on center stage to take this away an age old cliche corner your mind to corner mind together we say the same thing whats in a name? the wars we fight over everything one thing we all had to say the voice of controversy the target audience of one what did he do under the umbrella got a box to follow \corner your mind too sing and dance dance and write the art we create of a color scheme you must be trained to see the psychology of finger paints and why red to green doesnt mean anything to the fashionably obique do the math lick it stick it and sickened never get it but gifted you couldnt say this but cornered me through your movie magic break a leg out there here in my corner trying to pull off a tough combo a great fall a broken ankle stumbling away following pandoras box to wonder the story of who has the guts to steal on least game where would i run away from if i was to play house how would i figure out how to sabatoge the best thing you could have and take it home for myself race around the world because this manmade miracle pays for itself never knew anything a wall of fire innocents and sheep wolves clothing headless blunders the sense making masks mistakenly sidesteps and looking backwards at yourself together we say i cant believe we did that but the illlusion this time is the oppurtunity is a window shattering the open
