The Legend of Contravention

Turn the cold shoulders Turn the other cheek I don’t care Yeah, I don’t care Anymore… About anything, everyone and everything… I’m engaging in encouraging sports in my mind’s eye I am a confident guy, yet I act so damn shy Reduced me to nothin’, but these dirty, old shorts I wear… Anyone care to share their feelings at the dinner table? Have you heard of the Fear Not fable? Turn off that silly cable… Listen… Don’t look at the television screen Wonderin’ where you been… Your mind, heart and soul is lost and never found I am found on the ground While you are above gravity without a flick of a sound Yellow mellowness showers over me Blue flesh lights dance around my eyes Relieve me from this radiant reverie… I can’t be free, I don’t want to be…baby… I want to be free with or without you… Wouldn’t you agree? You watch me work You watch me cook You watch me take out the trash You watch me, clean the room of filthy doom You watch me…with vibrant, foolish and benevolent eyes… You watch me – they tell of no lies… Only silly, rebellious goodbyes can tell me something somehow… You’re his – I can’t stand…the way you move makes me lift a brow Now, I take a bow… Wow… You changed…haven’t you noticed me? Probably not possibly… I’m the legend of contravention Not to mention All this tension Goin’ round this godforsaken place… Just look me in the eyes…I don’t care how I look Read me like your latest, most fascinating book Or watch me like your Time Warner Cable channel… We can never, ever be on the same channel… Just…lend me your ears… Tell me your childlike fears Tell me something I don’t know Tell me someone I should know My mind glows to day and blows away All misery in replay… You are a tragedy in reverse… I am a gift and a curse I’m stronger than I realize, I’m not alone And I’m not a failure Have faith and hope That’s the only way I cope…with…situations… Have love and the Holy Ghost fruits… Stick with your ancient roots…not your feelings and human nature of irritations Drive on your own lane of sane While I take control on my own on my train of insane Because we aren’t on the same bus So, don’t fuss and cuss Just. Listen. I’m just the legend of contravention I’m just an irrelevant, irrational intervention… An over-confident bard… Something to discard Apparently, I have been wrong… I do belong…even if it’s not in a song I do belong… Figures you’d leave… While I’m here, wearing my grieve sleeve I can’t let go… Of you, you know? Can't stand your drama Gah
