When I’m Sober
You only hate me when I’m sober
When my mouth is a kiss that burns
And my words are alight with a clarity
That leaves your heart upturned
And you love the taste of amber
More than the touch of my outstretched hand
Cause I can’t reach you in your whiskey haze
While you flounder in broken glass and sand
And I wonder if you only want me
When I’m gone from you line of sight
And do you only notice me
When I want to pick a fight
Cause you only hate me when I’m sober
And you only like me when I’m crazy
But I don’t want a...

Deeper
Time doesn’t help me to forget
The hot winter days
When I knew I was alive
And the sun danced among the leaves
Silhouettes of joy upon my bedroom window
And I’m falling
Ever falling
Deeper… into you
Daydream fantasies
My lovely friend and foe
When I fade into the sadness of your eyes
Where I believed dreams could come true
Before you showed me how backhanded love can be
And I’m still falling
Ever falling
Deeper… into you
And I wanted to revoke
The things that made me smile

Sick Obsession
It’s a sick obsession of soul regression
And I miss you like grade eight detention
When I laughed so hard I nearly cried
At the absurdity of thirteen year old lies
And it’s so sick, another midnight party trick
Listening, high, at the clock as it ticks
And I’m running deeper into the abyss
All for another loveless kiss
We’re down, we’re low, and we’re letting go
Got to keep up when you’re moving too slow
Lost in the memories of a watercolour dream
‘Cause, no… no, nothing is what it seems
So take me down, and watch...

Straight Thinking?
I tried so fucking hard to be linear
As though by being linear, everything would make sense
It didn’t
My mind an ocean of hidden depths
Of secret pathways and cordoned off caves
No one knows when the seamounts will erupt
Until fire and ice spew forth their venom
There’s a maze with no beginning
There’s a road with no end
It is and always was
Ominous words remembered
“Seek and ye shall find”
Time bends and folds in on itself
In memories, in photos of that which passes
Then, now and next bleed together ...

Necromancing
There’s nothing wrong with the silence
It just makes for the crazy
Like snapping twigs, so you can make a build-your-own-prison kit
I knew the leaves were ready to fall before the branches fell off the tree
The sky was ominous
But there wasn’t a cloud in sight
It was my warning
There’s death inside, but he keeps bringing me to life
I want to stay sleeping beneath these gray skies
I’m scared of summer’s open blue
In the maple rain I can’t breathe
When my heart is ripped from my chest
And pumped back into a life less ordinary ...

Plastic People
Plastic people with plastic hair
Hanging out in designer plastic chairs
Having themselves a plastic conversation
With plastic brains in plastic contemplation
We’ll talk about our plastic idols
Compare ourselves to plastic models
Look down at those in plastic hovels
Pretend we’ve read all the best plastic novels
And reality fades in a world of lies
Where everyone pretends they’re really alive
With plastic possessions, they can survive
Through every plastic dream they can contrive

Barbie Playhouse
I’ve trapped myself in a Barbie playhouse world
Looking up at sky of cloudy plastic whirls
Waiting for someone to turn on the light
While I get lost in this Barbie playhouse night
Plastic skin that will not yield
With plastic drugs that don’t make me feel
My soul as empty as this plastic shell
I’ve created for my own Barbie playhouse hell
Doll me up with Made-In-China clothes
All the fashion doesn’t dim my woes
Jump in drive a car on plastic fuel
In a world where physics doesn’t rule
And there’s a...

Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Who’s the prettiest of them all?
Not me, not me…
She stares at her reflection
Contemplating this new rejection
She’s always searching for perfection
Without ever connecting
Mascara runs, blackened tears
The culmination of all her fears
“You’re not enough” is all she hears
As cracks in her façade appear
Make-up for a masquerade
She tells herself it’s not about getting laid
She just wants to make one stay
Before she grows old and gray
Mirror, mirror, on the wall ...

Sober
I'm standing on the precipice
Feeling so much less than this
Sobriety that I've earned
Some part of me wants to burn it down
Bury myself deep underground
Revoke everything I've learned
Insecurities shooting through
This happiness feels too good to be true
I don't know why I'm so concerned
Breaking free of this dis-ease
My mind is clear, but I'm not pleased
A happy medium I can't discern
All I wanted was normality
And I don't know if it's enough for me
When the demons within...

When The Love Has Died
I'm standing here alone with you
Where nothing's real, nothing's true
I'm standing here alone with you
Drowning in quicksand, unstuck glue
We gave the backhand of love
Broken bones beneath the boxing gloves
We gave the backhand of love
When the in between wasn't enough
I said I'd wait forever and I lied
With the ending here, I breathe a sigh
You said you'd wait forever and you lied
None of our dreams matter now the love has died
Indie Adams 2011

Captain Underpants? *Written for a group of 10 year olds x)*
I'm not a superhero, although I try
I might have a cape, but I know I can't fly
I don't have cool undies to wear outside my pants
With the undies I've got, I wouldn't take that chance
I can't climb tall buildings to save a damsel in distress
And every morning I get out of bed, my hair's just a mess
I've never been bitten by a radioactive spider
Nor have I ever had to find a super villains hideout
I like Saturday mornings watching cartoons on TV
With a sheet for a cape, I can pretend the super hero is me
But I do think it's cool, I'll...

A Black Rose For You
It was all about self-destruction
Such a silly human construction
To take a heart and leave it shattered
Revoke everything small that mattered
I payed the price for accusing you
If only the price I really knew
That you would take my mistake
And throw it all back in my face
You said you loved me and it was a lie
You made me a fool, made me want to die
I was scared of the things inside
Emotions raw that I couldn't confide
I payed the price for screwing...
