Square One

with everything back in its place
the task is to humanize what we reveal
not always helpful to be so..
self-aware when facing ourselves down
it wipes the smirk off of my face every time
and I'm sure it's obvious to you
when observing from the same perspective you see clear
chalk this up as a teachable moment
so that you can..
show yourself out feeling useful
thrive in this role we're sure you will
we simply borrow what you seem to steal
nothing the least bit alarming
where are we now if not in our own way
repeating what's written 'til it's almost all x'ed out
we've worked up the nerve to connect what's left
and what was revealed:
several different ways to point out
the second nature we exemplify
how do we keep grips of this
only way is to become..
new title-holders of
the merchant of death
and business is booming once again
make up your mind
come to the same conclusion as the rest of them
nothing less than a life's work
but that won't be enough
back to square one again

Ode to Costco

name the place and I'm there
shows what I know if I can't
spit this out when it counts
the only one here who's managed
to fake their way through to the end
with such grace
we all see why
not pegged as a lost cause
for nothing
in order to ensure
lost time is answered for
keep bringing up the burden
the burden you've endured
you're the picture of collected
the very portrait of
productivity
present the path and I'll follow
I'd offer what I know if I had
even an ounce of conviction
the conviction that got you here
with such grace
a mantra guides from here
mediocrity's ally
begging you for air
almost enough to convince you
over this I haven't set
a greater more fulfilling goal
table this exchange
drown out any source
that's been begging you to change
even with a well-known history of half-truths
the idea, not reality stands firm
not any closer to the peace that's eluded us
never less in control
obscure the path and I'll follow
I'll offer anything you want to hear
we all see why
not pegged as a lost cause for nothing

Aim to Please

the presentation is off
clearly on separate wavelengths
give us a second to collect ourselves
and let's just see what this looks like
who's gonna catch us up to speed
tell us exactly what you need
'cause we aim to please
oh we just aim to please
the main motivation
to go the extra mile
the payoff of the decade
like we never went anywhere
were the metrics not clear enough
we thought we'd timed it just right
do yourself a huge favor
expect nothing next time
hate to bother just following up
could always try for another time
it seems like this one's just slipped through the cracks
I've just been at capacity
who's gonna catch us up to speed
tell us exactly what you need
'cause we aim to please
oh we just aim to please
get it off of the page
and practice what you preach
share with the class the conclusions you've come to to maximize our reach
were the metrics not clear enough
we thought we'd timed it just right
do yourself a huge favor
expect nothing next time
who's gonna catch us up
tell us exactly what you need
we aim to please
