My name is Pan, and like
Any Greek God I think I can
I grabbed the mike, and spoke out loud
A murmur raced, through the crowd
A million eyes from brown to blue
They came to see if it was true
I needed sixty seconds
Just a minute
To prove my point
I took the poem, and tore it up
Lit the stage with flame
For this song
I need no voice
Only instinctual chaos
Through desire, and fire
God, the pain is more
Than what you thought
You could handle
And the sting is in repeating
I was born to hate myself
And you are all here to watch
If it helps you heal your doubts
I'm so glad I could assist
My mother is lost among you
With slits upon her wrists
The weak have become overweight
The strong so hard they must sedate
The vortex of creativity
Is a corpse flower blooming
Inside off me
They all want to take my place
Put on my shoes, start the chase
But I've forfeited the run
To lay my case
That coffin I've structured
Through culture and taste
When in it, I surrender
And drift upon lace
While outside you've gathered
Looking for a lynching
But your eyes aiming high
Are missing,
now allow me in silence
To speak to you roamers
Call me a helluva digger
Call me the magnificent mole
The improv is too real to be written
Inside a paper tree
I'm sitting with my songs
Of dance and chase
Pipes in hand
I feel safer now
Within this land
My mind is
Poems and song
With wine along
Women and me
And Pan you see
While staring through
Possibility, I've found
Some notoriety.

.. hi!
-
Yes I have to agree. I did read this first before listening, and enjoyed it more with the music. It's the same with all lyrics though, unless the reader is psychic they will never hear the right tune in their head, that accompanies the words!
-
you know, alone, I think the lyrics are a touch trite, but with the music in the link they spring to life.
