Sentimental
Lovely Day back

Fern-Monologue
step out into green grass
and daisies
reach up so high, it's like an ocean
ideal, precise
the view looks good from here
painted up high is the big blue sky
it's a sentimental lovely day
watching the rain
watching it all change
today I wear my very best clothes
so I can say that I respected
I've made my mind up
it's a sure thing
painted up high is the big blue sky
it's a sentimental lovely day
watching the rain
watching it all change
don't take me down
I don't want to go
I feel my best
I'm happy with the way it all works out
please let me stay...
Hold
my Head back

Fern-Monologue
It could have been dust
on the table
or something you said passing by
it could have been pictures of animals
or ways that you wanted to fly
hold my head I'm almost dead
pick me off the ground
patiently you've waited here
hold me with a smile
it could have been time that you wasted
or time that was never your own
it could have been some kind of feeling
or some day when you were alone
hold my head I'm almost dead
pick me off the ground
patiently you've waited here
hold me with a smile
I can't dream...
it's okay I can see...
for a while we could do anything butÊ
take this time
to send them off one by one
for a while we could do anything....
Reach
for Nothing back

Fern-Monologue
I've got my hands out
this is the first time
I'm going all out
you can consider
all of it done, in the
cold air
in the open, in the sun
tear me open, reach for nothing
nothing lingers, in the shade
virtuous notions
I've got no paybacks
no sordid intent
you can consider
all of it done, in the
cold air
in the open, in the sun
tear me open, reach for nothing
nothing lingers, in the shade
I'm on my way, I've
always said
Some day I'll come around
near the end
and now I'm here
much earlier than I expected
Ponder
back
to top
Fern-Monologue
caught inside of our
night
thinking up the same old lies
feeling tired, feeling tried
weary from the overkill
and everyone's talking, talking loud
I suggest we ponder
it's so cold lying here,
thinking of the way we are
running away from something pureÊ
something worth our time and gain
and everyone's talking, talking loud
I suggest we ponder
images impressed in
me
fanfare colors all around
creating a deceiving elegance
and I can't talk over
this noise
and I can't share this peace of mine
if all you do is talk all night
I don't stand a chance tonight
maybe if you'd close your mouth
we could see the same
images impressed in
me
fanfare colors all around
creating a deceiving elegance
Ready
to Break back
to top
Fern-Monologue
I've got a concept an
inch from your face
it's taking placeÊ
but it's a million miles from your brain
I'd work with you but I'm ready to break
and I'm afraid that this temper would lead to
rage
and there is nothing more to understand
if you don't get it now I don't think you ever
will
I don't mind, I've got
mine
and all the things you are just lose their size
I'll invest in myself
and all the things on which I can rely
you waste your time
on mediocrity
meanwhile I've got a steady contrast for you
I'm so sick of all your trivial noise
you offer everything I threw away years ago
and there is nothing more to understand
if you don't get it now I don't think you ever
will
I don't mind, I've got
mine
and all the things you are just lose their size
I'll invest in myself
and all the things on which I can rely
ooh....I'm ready to
break my hands are trembling
On Top
of the Heavy back
to top
Fern-Monologue
some kind of story man
could preach to me some lies
some kind of rationale could lead me to some truth
some kind of bacchanalia could have me by a thread
some kind of alias involved could blind your eyes
on top of the heavy
tasting the day
wasting away
some kind of picturesque
dream could be along
I could be having my way until it's gone
I don't believe in your front, you build it all
yourself
some kind of nervousness, this could take you
out
on top of the heavy
tasting the day
wasting away
it seems to me that
I could only take it for a while
and miss the chance to be the one
that held out to the end
any way you take it back, it won't be what you
had
some kind of broken
hand could reach into my mind
some kind of wicked plan could tell me I'm the
one
I'm sick of all this tasting, it leaves me wanting
more
I wasn't bleeding, I never even cried
Hindsight
back
to top
Fern-Monologue
I'm going to crush your
attempt to confound a perfect array
It irritates me to crash, and crowds my credence
as well
bathetic words and cliches send questions spinning
around
so senseless all your debates....I just can't
even explain
hindsight is coming
for now I'll just submit
hindrance has left to rot in a paper bag
waking up early, ready to kick myself
and I'll admit I'm distraught
seeing your sadness in vain
watching you search and search
succumbing to mindless pressure
so senseless all your debates....I just can't
even explain
hindsight is coming
for now I'll just submit
hindrance has left to rot in a paper bag
waking up early, ready to kick myself
I will be waiting, I
will be waiting....
Instilled
back

Fern-Monologue
you go and curse the
kiss that keeps me warm
and you've got a selfish awkwardness I sense
I see you're rushing to something
you've kind of lost your stance
you could've planned it all so well instead....
we're instilled with
an ideal image
of a picture perfect way
in this temporal place I find it oh so crass
that we invest so much right here
you've got a mode that
makes you seem so blithe
predicaments that fade and multiply
identical to nothing you never hesitate
you never start considering mistakes....
we're instilled with
an ideal image
of a picture perfect way
in this temporal place I find it oh so crass
that we invest so much right here
please, please, please,
please don't stay down
carry all this clout away
kiss, kiss, kiss me I'm on your side
please, please, please, please don't stay down
Yield
back
to top
Fern-Monologue
I could lean on my emotion
or just consider consequence
I could spend my time preparing
or let it all fall into place
and I could lie about what happens
or build my character with truth
I could take the path that I choose
or let the one above decide
I'm not the one to take
this in my hands
to turn away and make my own plans
I could speak of plans
to prosper
or find the wealth that fills the day
and I could always be the cynic
or find security in faith
I could say this talk is over
or try my hardest to forgive
and I could gratify with impulse
or benefit with time to come
I'm not the one to take
this in my hands
to turn away and make my own plans
I'm not the one to judge the faces
to modify or alter this place
take it from my hands
I will yield to you
I will be resigned
take it from my mind
I will start again....again
the Other
Side back
to top
Fern-Monologue
I'm kicking around,
twitching from sounds
that seem to be explosions in my head
and I don't know why I feel obliged
to let this thing control me as it does
I guess I'm a mess for being sincere
for reaching out so anxious at this chance
I wish you could see I'm all out of breath
from trying to distract you from yourself
please don't leave me
out
my whole world is tumbling down
all I have is you
everyone is on the other side
I'm spinning around
from all this advice
and choking on opinions that relate
it's not what you phrase or what you intend
it's how it comes across that makes it real
all these thoughts seem to be
shared by only me, I'm on my own
I wish I could express
I'm such a slave to this
and as I kneel I'm praying it's a phase
please don't leave me
out
my whole world is tumbling down
all I have is you
everyone is on the other side
sorry I said hello,
sorry I tried
sorry I spoke to soon, sorry you lied
