Things Are Not What They Seem

Television appetite dazed
What crumpled with Burger King haze
Outrageous throaty compulsion
Here to stay, or float away

The battalians of T.V. dramas
Channel flipping coterie strikes!
Habits have gathered the days
Coughing/sniffling when we speak

There is hope on the coast
There is an emerald kingdom in the garden
What sawdust can relate
And motorcycle insurgency

Eye of the tornado 
Gives me animal lust
Crouched between school assemblies
Ive been living a life of dreams

Compassion crystallize me
Things are not what they seem
