danger kit

I’m gonna release all the trees from the ground
and take the world for a spin
Maybe i won’t feel the same tomorrow
but tonight i am where i want to be

The picture was always on the wall
but i never noticed it until now
and i reach out to touch the clouds
but you tell me it’s just paint

you see, life is nothing more than pins
and who we are is where they have fallen
you have looked into my eyes and you know it
you know that they are hungry and searching for more

one lifetime does not seem like enough
for me to truly ever understand
but it still wont stop me
because i am hungry and searching for more

i already opened some doors
and taken my first real steps
what i have learned is that the greatest gifts of the soul
come in the tiniest of packages

and i also know that we are brothers and sisters
just trying to make it through together
so why do we tear each other apart?
how is that supposed to move us forward?

ok i really have to ask now
is everyone fucking blind?
do you honestly believe that your best times
come from the bad times of others?

on this stage, we sow the seeds
pretty soon it will be out of our hands
we have to take a backseat and just let it grow
it is impossible to protect our investment forever

while true there are an infinite amount
of directions that it will grow,
why must it be predetermined that we are
disappointed with the result?

i find it beautiful that it even grows at all
imagine that, a little seed becomes a life
will this particular one be stepped on?
or will its essence be captured forever?
does it really matter?

because that is the most powerful word isn’t it?
“Life”
yep, it’s right up there next to “why”
So we have Life and Why just sitting on top of a hill
imagine such a sight.

imagination is an underrated word
i keep trying to understand my imagination
but its not something to be understood
just let the seed grow…

but my instincts tell me that i should keep
trying to understand the greater meaning
my father once told me that a man could
move a mountain if he truly believed…
i’m not there yet, but there is a one in infinity
chance that i am that man.
For now a mist has
settled gently onto the horizon, just enough
to block my view.
but i can tell you this much, i believe…

getting back to imagination, from my point of view,
this concept has the potential to be even more
powerful than life.
if life is sitting on a hill, then imagination
is somewhere in the stars.
and “why” is the one looking up at the stars
trying to find imagination
if he does, then i believe he will smile
one of those genuine, no strings attached, honest smiles
– and imagination will smile back. –

so now that we’re on the topic of imagination
here’s the real question…
did i plant the seed before any of this happened?
am i my own god?
there’s a very good chance i designed this whole entire
ship, nah gotta think bigger.. the whole fleet!
just so i can travel through the universe.
the universe is a pretty big thing in and of itself.
science hasnt even scratched the surface
but if you opt to travel in style, with imagination
i’m pretty sure you could reach at least
one of its corners

i’m in it!

look at every man-made object and you
will see an idea turned into a reality
well perhaps the same can be said for everything
except it would be imagination turned into life
with “why” connecting the two

Think -> open up that mind of yours and use it
there is so much more out there than what we
see and hear.
I mean come on, why would you want to limit yourself
like that.
We are more powerful than we could ever imagine.
well, now that i look at it, is that really true?
because my imagination can go pretty far
Let’s not hold ourselves back any longer
Let’s imagine
Let’s live

okay i just took a long break and i’m back for more!

there is a very thin line we all walk
but the closer we get to it, the sweeter it is
some avoid the line altogether and are content in
their misery. You can lie to damn near anyone
but definitely not to yourself
now others, unfortunately, will go full speed and
cross the line.
This cannot happen, it is not better.
So I propose a third option.
I’m going to stand right on that line
and stay there
My confidence will turn that feeble wire into
a full-fledged dancefloor… and I will be happy
(but not fulfilled)

No, in order to be completely fulfilled
i must find you
funny thing is, i don’t even know who “you” are
but you will complete me
i can remember you slightly
i looked into your eyes as we each
took a deep breath and dropped all the pins together
but before that i held you close
and i kissed you with every emotion
hitting me at once.
would this work?
the odds are not in our favor
but the reward would be the ultimate
we would both be given our wings to fly
among the stars
trust me beautiful, we have to try
and with all that said we released the seeds
they hit the ground hard, i do remember that much
but we let them grow and believe then we will
find each other

you see most everyone else is a prop, an actor
only a select few in this playground are real
and I’ve persevered and found a handful already
we are all dropped in two at a time
Two lost souls
looking for each other
maybe by putting this pen to paper i am
reaching you some way, somehow
this is not a mistake,
because we are going to reach the stars

I PROMISE
