EMOTIONAL DISPLACEMENT

The waters of time keep flowing
Through the valleys of you
In a perpetual motion
Houston what's our latitude

Things keep moving in circles
But I thought the world was flat
Ingenuity on my side
But I still don't have a clue

Emotional Displacement
For the things in my minds eye
Delicate negotiations
And the feeling things aren't right

Life began at an instance
And it ceased at the same time
Throwing fits of emotion
But mommy wont give in

I keep thinking aloud to myself
But I never answer me
Why do I have to shout
Dammit I can hear

Emotional Displacement
For the one who changed my mind
Extenuating circumstances
And the need to run and hide

As the going gets tough
Under the rock is nice this time of year
Humpty dumpty fell off the wall
And little red riding hood cried

The slipper fit the bad sis
And Mother Hubbard stashed the goods
The beauty left the beast
For Cinderella who she met at the ball

Emotional Displacement
For the ones who just aren't right
Unusual behavior
Do we have to say goodbye
