Not/Off To/The Scale Mar. 9/11 Karl Rigelhof

Objects in mirror
Appear larger/bigger
Than actual size

Subjects in mind
Seem more severe
To inflated ego(s)

BRIDGE:
Narcissistic tendencies
(And) self-inflicted remedies
Won't cure the disease
(But) just (simply) ease/mask the symptoms
(And) (is/are) never/not the best solution

CHORUS:
It never (seems to) fail(s)
Everyone/body (else's) problems/victories
Is/are worse/better than yours/mine
The weight is/gets (often) heavier
With every telling of the tale
Until it's no(t)/off (longer) to/the scale

BRIDGE:
Contradicting explanations
(And) (often) solicit(ating) eminations/exclamation(s)
Of surprised relief/(dis)belief (Mar. 22/11)
While getting caught in/at the lie
And forever wondering why

(The) contents (are) fragile
Please handle (with care)
(Or) (with) (the) (utmost) (of) caution/care

Emotion(s) (are/is) rattle(d)
To the point
Of explosive detonation/decompression (Mar. 24/11)
