Pretending to live a soap opera existence
Cutting and complaining with synthetic persistence
I have run out of my endless supply of patience
For your faux suicidal displays I have zero tolerance
Next time you cry wolf I won't call for an ambulance
So bleed out, bleed out and get out, stay out, goodbye, good riddance
I am tired of your screaming and melodramatics
How many times can I beg you to stop?
How many times can I watch you slice away
at your innocent flesh now scarred with faux sin?
Your soul...

Isn't It A Shame?
Lisa, it seems a bit ironic now
Wasn't I the one who wrote the friendship vow?
I vaguely remember, wasn't it forever?
It's a shame we will never wind up together
But as our friendship's falling down
Oddly enough my reflection shows no frown
While on the surface my hide's as tough a leather
Deep down underneath I still wish we'd wind up together

Descent
I clearly saw the fog descending on the city
Depositing a film of condensation, like pity
Dripping from the awning, her tears drew rivers
Cleansing the morning of the sun's rising slivers
Forming a path towards the past she can't escape
Forgotten in words, drawn without shape
The sky grew blue behind the gray phantom
Clarity blew the mind of the blue-eyed one at random
Precisely when ordered in a timely fashion
Expectations demanded she dressed well for passion
Though she never expected his figure to float
Surrounding her flesh with the words that...

In The Drifts
She's not here to keep me warm
And I'm still wondering why
I need shelter from her storm
Yet I sit still as snow drifts by
I can't remember when
So long ago seems like yesterday
In the dead of December
When blind love was mislead astray?
Too soon January came
Its wind chills cut like sharpened knives
I ponder, am I to blame?
For without her I'm un-alive
No longer can I see clear
Ice seals over both of my eyes
My drums are still, no longer to hear
And I still sit where sun sets die
...
And I'm still wondering why

Fantasy Lovers
I'd like to see your hair
Ruffling in the breeze
I'd love to see your face
Smiling back at me
Touching and kissing your breasts
Giving them a squeeze
And finding myself inside of you
Kneeling on my knees
I've had dreams of sleeping
With you by my side
On a bed of water
Creating a tide
Again in a wild frenzy
Our bodies collide
Then after we've passed our crescendo
Letting it subside
I see not a thing wrong
With making love fun
Or making love with you
Underneath the sun
I will wait for...
Ruffling in the breeze
I'd love to see your face
Smiling back at me
Touching and kissing your breasts

And finding myself inside of you

I've had dreams of sleeping

On a bed of water
Creating a tide
Again in a wild frenzy
Our bodies collide
Then after we've passed our crescendo
Letting it subside

With making love fun
Or making love with you
Underneath the sun

Let's Get Naughty
I've been searching for a way since the first time we met
To start your juices flowing and get your love nest wet
I finally found the fuel to make your love ignite
Ooh Baby, I wanna get naughty with you tonight
When I get next to you my body starts to quiver
And I've got the touch to get you flowing like a river
My heart isn't the only muscle that you excite
Mmm, How would you like to get naughty with me tonight?
So you don't misunderstand anything I've said
I want to go home with you and make love in your bed
I'll leave if there's...

There's More Than One Way
Now the Government has lost our trust
And the magnates who never agree
I'd give it all away if they would only see
There's more than one way to be all that you can be
Called a coward when I turned a cheek
But I won't fight for the life they seek
I want no part of their world if it is remade
By those proudly taking lives and waiting to get paid
Somewhere in a computer file
A statistic is all that I am
While on their chart and multicolored diagram
I may not have much but I'm happy who I am
So don't ever let your dreams...
And the magnates who never agree

The Weight
My shoulders hunched from the weight I imagine
Is keeping me from flying above the unworthy
The ground stretches out further with each step
Always leading away from failures still before me
Hunger strikes me in the hours before sleep
Allowing me to forget how I starve for my dreams
Leaving me to wonder if the visions that haunt me
Are nightmares or memories I wish I could forget
I can't hold a conclusion for ten minutes
While every thought fades with each solution
Wishing I could recall in that moment of clarity
What the answer had...
Is keeping me from flying above the unworthy
The ground stretches out further with each step
Always leading away from failures still before me
Hunger strikes me in the hours before sleep
Allowing me to forget how I starve for my dreams
Leaving me to wonder if the visions that haunt me
Are nightmares or memories I wish I could forget
I can't hold a conclusion for ten minutes
While every thought fades with each solution
Wishing I could recall in that moment of clarity

Shadow and Bone
will you steal time with me
or just seduce and fuck me secretly?
do you live your own stereotype
or just imitate the shadows you wish were your own?
if the world expanded
no further than your welcome matted door
who would call from beyond the wood
that swings open to expose a barricade of bricks
who would come to knock it down
when the morter dried between stones held far enough apart
their similarities will never touch?
squeezed secretly behind the wood where shadows cast unseen
take a walk where no path leads ...
or just seduce and fuck me secretly?
do you live your own stereotype
or just imitate the shadows you wish were your own?
if the world expanded
no further than your welcome matted door
who would call from beyond the wood
that swings open to expose a barricade of bricks
who would come to knock it down
when the morter dried between stones held far enough apart
their similarities will never touch?
squeezed secretly behind the wood where shadows cast unseen
take a walk where no path leads ...

I Give Up, I Quit, Just Let Me Go
It's hard to smile, it's hard to laugh
When the only thing worth laughing at
Is my miserable fucking life
Filled with nothing and drenched with fat
It's hard to see in the darkness
That surrounds me everywhere I go
I close my eyes and embrace death
For love's embrace I'll never know
It's hard to love without a heart
I gave mine away so long ago
Now she is someone else’s wife
And I'm no one you'd want to know
It's hard to want without desire ...
When the only thing worth laughing at
Is my miserable fucking life
Filled with nothing and drenched with fat
It's hard to see in the darkness
That surrounds me everywhere I go
I close my eyes and embrace death
For love's embrace I'll never know
It's hard to love without a heart
I gave mine away so long ago
Now she is someone else’s wife
And I'm no one you'd want to know
It's hard to want without desire ...
