JVST 4N0TH3R 1D10T...

just another idiot 
wandering the Earth’s surface 
(pretending I have purpose) 

Y3ST3RD4YS B3C0M3 BVST3D...

yesterdays become busted 
up memories of the truth 
(trying to remain present) 

4DH3R3NC3 T0 D0GM4...

adherence to dogma will 
always lose the real essence 
(the goal is to live freely) 

W3 4LL D0 WH4T W3 C4N T0...

we all do what we can to 
make our mark while still living 
(but it’s all impermanent) 

T00 0RG4N1C T0 3ND VP...

too organic to end up 
rusting away, stubbornly 
(sweet release of worms in mind) 

4CCVMVL4T1NG W4ST3D...

accumulating wasted 
moments, burned out by what’s passed 
(trying to remain present) 

C4N'T H4VL 4W4Y H1ST0RY...

can’t haul away history 
like a broken corner lamp 
(it sits there, often ignored) 

4LL TH4T GL1TT3RS 41N'T G0LD, 4LL...

all that glitters ain’t gold; all 
you need is within your soul 
(most of us pawned it away) 

R41LR04D TR4CKS 4ND R1V3R B3DS...

railroad tracks and river beds 
keep me of a simple mind 
(but even that was “progress”) 

SV1C1D3 R4T3S H4V3 SH0T VP...

suicide rates have shot up 
during digital era 
(charting like a blue chip stock) 

SH1N3 VP TH3 P4ST H0W3V3R...

shine up the past however 
you want, the oil stains remain 
(please accept imperfection) 

N3WN3SS 1S 1MP0SS1BL3...

newness is impossible 
to maintain, so why bother? 
(“Sisyphean” repurposed) 

C1V1L1Z3D SH1N3 G3TS R3PL4C3D...

civilized shine gets replaced 
by abandonment’s Earth tones 
(“dust to dust” makes supreme sense) 

1NDVSTR14L S4ND C4STL3S...

industrial sand castles 
washed out easily enough 
(nature makes no humane claims) 

P0W3R 0F L0VNG3 M34NS HVM4N...

Power of Lounge means “human” 
and “nature” aren’t opposites 
(civilized egos run wild) 

4LL 0F VS H0P3 F0R H4PPY...

all of us hope for happy 
lives with personal freedom 
(forgetting collective thoughts) 

PR3-3X1ST1NG C0ND1T10NS...

pre-existing conditions 
never gonna be perfect 
(making do while making due) 

N3VR0L0GY 0F D3S1R3...

neurology of desire 
keeps us lusting after gold 
(though the shine comes from within) 

TH3 R3MN4NTS 0F B31NG W0RN...

the remnants of being worn 
out gets piled up and ignored 
(“can’t stop won’t stop” attitude) 

RVNN1NG 4R0VND 1N C1RCL3S...

running around in circles 
in our daily lives’ routines 
(racing to get nowhere first)
