Artist: Tommy Shaw
Song: Peace, Love (Weird)

So bursting to be born
That my skin might split open
My every thought rushing out
Only to be infinitely recycled
Like a fountain in an office building’s lobby

When my stream of consciousness
Becomes a tidal wave
Ready to wash away lives and property
Long believed to be safely bolted
To stone foundations on high ground

In remission only for as long as it takes
To create a false sense of safeness
For the grazing Zen herd
