Cabin Fever

This Is The New Courtship Gone Awry

9-7-03

Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!
Kiss up to those who won't let go by letting go.
We talk for hours just to say so.
I don't go down without a fight
but it's not a fight, it's just might.

Whoooooooa! Whoooooooa!
All the good things come with reasons.
We need as much as those who need them.
Unspoken words and hidden stares are never safe.
Stoicism is almost as good as hate.

Broken words spoken of broken dreams
while broken hearts mask their screams.
This can work its way around.
Even the darkest skies can be brought down.

Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull!
Move up or move on or wait and see.
Impatient hesitancy is now an enemy.
Graft the skin to make it tight
and grow with it 'til it gets right.

Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!
Great plans kept silent are washed aside
as resentment rides the highest tide.
Eroding 'til it washes away
every trace of our loosened decay.
