I like making completely nonsensical connections seem plausible and make twisted sense.
It comes easy because most of this stuff is right there and ripe for the picking. The everyday phrases that, when you strip them of their cliche'-ic intention, then tie them to the absurd...well, I'd tell you more but, I gotta draw the line somewhere.
Gotta Draw The Line Somewhere
12.23.2016
I love you to the moon and back
And I picture it in my mind
The thread of moonlight I ride back
Represented by a line
Gotta draw the line somewhere
Oh, alright
To the sun and back
I hold the pen
And since you’ve asked
I have the power to extend
The line to there
But…
I gotta draw the line somewhere
Since I hold the pen
That draws the line
And with imaginary hand
Inside my mind
It’s up to me, I think
To determine whether
I’ve got enough ink
And though it seems
A bit perverse
I’ll extend it ‘round
The universe…
But no,
You’ve put things in reverse
You’ve crossed all lines
And now you’re terse
“No lines between us!”
You declare
So since you are with me
Since you’re here
I draw us into
Our own little sphere
Now joined for all eternity
Bound by the line
‘Round you and me
But it ends there
‘Cause in my mind
I had to draw it
Had to draw the line
I had to draw the line somewhere…
Gotta draw the line somewhere
