MR. SUBLIME

janie's gone and lost her head
or was it just a dream i had?
roses left, a row was made
a highway carved of madness
a subtle tilt or twist sublime
her anger, words could seldom find
no point made
so she whistles through the window
afraid to scream, afraid to think
and as i sink, she's pulling me away

janie begged me not to steal
her apathetic vision
and cried two words i can't reveal
she only made it harder
silly fools, she called them all
her portrait plastered on the wall
a window
so she sat beneath my feet
and carried on, and carried on
as if a bond between the two were made

janie cried blue tears of steel
but she was only acting
she said this world is not for real
it's only just a mind game
"call for shelter, hold her down
feed her well, she'll come around"
she argued
and then she glanced about her cage
waiting for me, just in time
i'm her sublime - welcome to the day

time after time we're found
tipping our hat to mr. sublime
