the Inhibitor

from the album “the Machine”

I am not the catalyst
I’m not the pistol, the stamen, the seed
creation abandoned me
I am not the catalyst
there are books with words i’ve never seen
which makes me love them even more
I’m not the hero, I’m not the fool
but I will break like any tool you misuse
some day when the
poles begin to
slide to the center of you
then we might be-
gin to sort this
love thing through and through
I am not the catalyst
but in a pinch I will be what you need
provided we still believe
I’m not the jestor, I’m not the king
but I have been accused of worser things
some day may be
yesterday who
knows when wishes come true
then we might be-
lieve in ourselves
it is up to you
