Splinter

                                  Something about this landscape just don’t feel right

Hyper air-conditioned and lit up all night



Like we just gotta see how comfortable comfortable can get

Like we can’t even bring ourselves to sweat



Sweat in the summer, shiver in the winter

Just enough to know that we’re alive

Watch out for that TV, it’s full of splinters

And remember you can always go outside

Really, really, really far outside



And some might call it conservation

And some might call it common sense

And maybe it’s because I am Libra

But I say balance balance balance balance

I say balance balance balance balance



Who put all this stuff in my apartment?

Who put all this ice in my drink?

Who put the poison in the atmosphere?

Who put the poison in the way I think?



O women, won’t you be our windows

Women who bleed and bleed and bleed

Women who swim with the tide, women who change when the wind blows

Show us we are connected to everything

Show us we are not separate from everything



So here’s to the trials of living

Here’s to feeling our share of pain

All the way from childbirth to dying

Here’s to being connected to everything

Here’s to staying connected to everything
