I
Cannot see
And I
Couldn’t tell you where I went last night
In that fugue state
Not quite awake
But I finally understood what you said
In the hospital bed
I’ve got some bones in the ground
That I don’t wanna take about
I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve
That you don’t wanna be around
And you
Don’t wanna be where I’m at, cause you
Wouldn’t ever see me
The same again
And I
Can get so apathetic when worse things have happened
And I’m sorry
That I can be so cynical
In that fugue state
Not quite awake
And I’ll never understand the lies
That come out of your mouth

Drywall

Keep your hair up, for a little while
You know I love you when you're tired
We could race, raindrops running down
My window by the stairs
But my mother will be home soon
Keep the lights on, if you go
I need the shadow's company
All your wrecking ball thoughts
They blow right through my home
Oh I hope it is rebuilt soon
And the shadows dance
As the roof caves in
And the raindrops run
Down the drywall in the living room
If the air is words you breathe
I don't have to drive you home
I found a piece of you in my room
Planted it in the carpet
I watered, waited, watched you bloom
Flowers are flesh, blood soil
Delicate and wilting, are you?
Eight months on, your ghost is gone
Keep your eyes closed, for a little while
You know I hate it when you peek

Word After Word
04:00
|

|
Tripped over word after word, stuck in a frame
Look but don’t touch that’s enough, keep it the same
Clear unlike plaster, as easy to fracture, watch it break
Thousands of pieces this mess have you seen it’s a shame
Ashes, ashes, we all stood still
Faster, faster, empty out the till
He is a bastard, scared to look at her, forgets his lines
Shuffle stage right, the sincere look of fright, deep in his eyes
Mumbles and tumbles down 3 flights of stairs, been there before
Posing the question of unclear intentions, make up your mind
Ashes, ashes, we all stood still
Drastic, sarcastic, mocks from the sill
He stares from the outside
Looking in
Not scared on the outside
But fearful within
(Like I don't know you)

Of great deceit
The endless feat
Amongst us all
We all compete
I took your word
The words I heard
Were not the same
A different picture frame
And you always had
A secret to tell
Under your breath
Inside your shell
We tried so hard
I drove so far
Only to end up
Walking in reverse
Inadvertently
It’s not you it’s me
I swear
There’s nothing to see here
And you always had
A secret to tell
Under your breath
Inside your shell
Unclench your jaw
Draw in a breath
The things that we saw
In varying depth

Winter's Bony Body

Winter's bony body keeps me sleepless
And I don't mind
Winter's bony body keeps me sleepless
Twisting, turning, quivering, under the sheets
She's cold, can't feel her bones
She's cold, can't feel her toes
