Refracting

You can make friends with your local monster
But you know they’ll eat you just the same
Why donate blood to cousin Dracula
When you know bleeding is their game

Rack your brain and rearrange your face
Searching for the elusive harmony
But the choir isn’t interested
They’ll cut your tongue out happily

I try not to judge
But it’s so fun
And so distracting
I should direct my energy
Somewhere good
But it keeps refracting

Maybe there’s some middle way oh
And we can dance like bugs across the stream
On a narrow fallen log that you never saw before
That the wind brought down in your dream

I try not to judge
But it’s so fun
And so distracting
I should direct my energy
Somewhere good
But it keeps refracting
