^ If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire

here lately, more so than any of my years before, i've tried picturing having the tools to put some things into songs




If I were a conductor
I'd have bullfrogs sing the "Jaws" theme
If I're a conspirator
I'd advocate the Devil's scheme

If I met an enchanter
She'd turn me into a gecko
If I met you in banter
You'd turn toward me to echo

If I had a reflector
It'd be the stillness of a spring
If I wielded a scepter
I'd be a lonely beehive king

If I gave you a lecture
I'd say always keep learning keen
If I gave you conjecture
I'd say you're blind to what's between

If I shared with you my truth
Inspiration would then be mine
If I shared through all my youth
Then the chaos would be sublime

If I offered you a choice
You would realize a true friend
If I offered up my voice
You’d hear the plea to make amend

If I could yield to uncouth
Then the darkness would surrender
If I could be less aloof
Love would not be put asunder

If I looked to azimuth
Of life the past would integrate
If I looked to call your bluff
Then Maya would disintegrate

If I could be a rector
All wildlife would come to me
But I'm just a projector
Of improbable dreams to be
