who wants to open up the machine and rage against the gears?

it's like i can see the gears turning in your head; should you, will you, do you, want to? i never understood this powerless feeling until you sat gracefully on my lap and pressed your head into mine. only then could i actually hear the gears turning, and only then did i realize i couldn't escape if my life depended on it...

of course that's an exaggeration, but i was pretty damn helpless. a maelstrom, if you will, of surety and debt; flood and drought; short and stout...confusion set in is what i'm getting at. but see here is where i may lose you: i know what i want - you. and i know where i am - there; in my head where you are. asleep or awake, life is what it makes us harder, better, faster, stronger.
