So-Called Chaos

Deadlines and meetings and contracts all breached

d-days and structure, responsibility

Have to’s and need to’s, get to’s by three

Eleventh hours and upset employees


I want to be naked running through the streets

I want to invite this so-called chaos

that you think I dare not be

I want to be weightless flying through the air

I want to drop all these limitations but the shoes upon my feet


Heartburn and headaches and soon-to-be ulcers

Compulsive yearnings non-stop to please others


I want to be naked running through the streets

I want to invite this so-called chaos that you think I dare not be

I want to be weightless flying through the air

I want to drop all these limitations but the shoes upon my feet

All won’t be lost if I’m governed by my own innate-ness

The stoplights won’t work, I’ll get home sound and safe regardless

won’t be mayhem if I’m ruled by my own rule-lessness

my fire won’t quell and I’ll be harm-free and distress-less (trust me)

line-towing and helping, expectations-up-to living

inside-box-obeying, inside-line-coloring

I want to be naked running through the streets

I want to invite this so-called chaos that you think I dare not be

I want to be weightless flying through the airI want to drop all my limitations but the shoes upon my feet

I want to be naked running through the streets

I want to invite this so-called chaos that you think I dare not be

I want to be weightless flying through the air

I want to drop all these limitations and return to what I was born to be
