No Chorus
3/13/15
To many my words were gloomy
But it was absolutely groovy
As I continued to speak truly
Whether or not it was seen as spooky
They said I needed a chorus
And help from the thesaurus
Or else it would effect my performance
But I wanted to paint my own portraits
With a style that was different from anyone before this
Considering how life is gorgeous
While traveling through enormous gorges
On the outskirts of the forests
As a young grasshopper
I poured out some beer from a can of lager
For my grandfather
Even though others continued causing manslaughter
Despite all the possibilities that this land offers
There are still places with bad water
And far too many damn squatters
It's fairly suitable
To maintain relationships that are mutual
While pursuing energy sources that are renewable
Don't you dare be delusional
And speak to me about what is unconstitutional
Because that is inexcusable
Especially if you want to talk about the crucible
As if it is provable
I just look at you like you're unusual
But pay very little attention because this place is far too beautiful
