TURNING TINMAN 2
Years I've not moved.
Surrounded by these crooked talking trees.
Though they don't talk to me.
Since my jaw was rusted shut.
I do not need ANYONE,
until I need my oil can-
Who needs a heart...
When I've welded my fingers to the handle of this axe?.
Who needs to move?
Who needs a friend...
When every time I walk,
The hollow in me
Sounds like a wardrum
Metronome
Countdown to death?

Who needs to move?
Who needs a friend...

OF WHOM I'VE...
I met a dancer.
I said "I don't."
And now forever I cannot.
I met a fighter.
I said"I do"
And now forever I try not to.
Along came a killer.
I said"I would"
And now
I have...
I met a lover.
I said "I'll try"
And I have been
ever since...
I said "I don't."
And now forever I cannot.
I met a fighter.
I said"I do"
And now forever I try not to.
Along came a killer.
I said"I would"
And now
I have...
I met a lover.
I said "I'll try"
And I have been
ever since...

Additive
If i must be angry-
And you must be sad...
Then let us make purple...
And splatter that color across the sunset..
And you must be sad...
Then let us make purple...
And splatter that color across the sunset..

FIND ME IN THE TREES
Inspirational people...COME HITHER!...
pioneers and shy philosophers.
find me.
Trail blazers and law breakers...Dance around these shared flames,in surrounding trees.
The many of all kinds, of mankind.
Come forth like crows to the murder,
To give birth to creations in creations.
Find me...
Let us all be all...
pioneers and shy philosophers.
find me.
Trail blazers and law breakers...Dance around these shared flames,in surrounding trees.
The many of all kinds, of mankind.
Come forth like crows to the murder,
To give birth to creations in creations.
Find me...
Let us all be all...

AUDIO PILOT
So the pilot flew me right-here⬇
Where you and I walk linear➡
Though I can only focus on the fear.
I know...
I know you know-
It's all a product of
Weak
The false
The old.
Please love me underneath the weight of the world-
Here we'll find the
~GOD~
So we can be
The arteries
Tangled in
This song...

Though I can only focus on the fear.

Weak

Please love me underneath the weight of the world-
Here we'll find the

RED LIGHTS ON EMPTY STREETS
This is not your cliche kind of lost.
This is not your average plea.
This is not the typical "help me".
My spirit is on an umbilical leash...trying to gnaw itself free...
This is not a boring cry.
These are not the usual tears.
Nor is this "woe is me" on repeat...
There is an apocalypse inside of me...
Red lights on empty streets~~
This is not your average plea.
This is not the typical "help me".
My spirit is on an umbilical leash...trying to gnaw itself free...
This is not a boring cry.
These are not the usual tears.
Nor is this "woe is me" on repeat...
There is an apocalypse inside of me...
Red lights on empty streets~~

REMEMBER THAT MORNING
Kiss the light that comes.
There's rainbows in the mist.
Exhale to spin the color.
Turn your back to the abyss.
If you're singing...
I'll breathe in the song.
If you didn't know anything,
Know that I loved you in that dawn.
If you're crying...
If your hand reaches for someone.
I will be there...
Please know I've loved you all along~
There's rainbows in the mist.
Exhale to spin the color.

If you're crying...

THE TAKER
One day-
A beautiful day...
She noticed her shadow was missing.
She came to me scared...and we did what we could with what we had...but eventually it took her reflection as well...
We'd stand at the mirror for hours,hoping to catch a glimpse of anything coming back...
It never did.
When she became transparent,and started flickering...I'd lie next to her,and hold her...
At least the parts of her that my hands wouldn't just pass through...
We prayed...
and cried.
Until she faded away...
And I was...

CANDY
She can't take the noise.
The party is way to loud for her,
and she says,
"I need something sweet."
I lead her down the hall.
Into the room of broken dolls,
and I feel,
She is something sweet.
Oh candy surprise,
what will I find inside
when I bite,
And will she find the piece she's looking for?
Among the scattered parts.
In the corners,dark.
I hear the heartbeats,
Begging for a form...
She tastes like candy-
Sugar on the ceiling.
Just like candy-
Her sugar on the walls.
She tastes like...
The party is way to loud for her,
and she says,
"I need something sweet."
I lead her down the hall.
Into the room of broken dolls,
and I feel,
She is something sweet.
Oh candy surprise,
what will I find inside
when I bite,
And will she find the piece she's looking for?
Among the scattered parts.
In the corners,dark.
I hear the heartbeats,
Begging for a form...

IT WAS THE WASN'T THAT WAS IT
She was...
A cat in the sunbeam.
I was...
Bats in the bellfry.

READ YOU BARE
So many
pretty pictures on flesh.
Covering creative,
beauty marked breast.
Riding your limbs,
to define & confess.
Are you under there somewhere?
Oh you pin riddled voodoo doll
Hiding your scars
Under your tattoos.
How many constellations
have you hidden
Beneath that ink?
I'd have liked to see them...
I'd have liked to trace them...
I'd have liked to

YOU ARE NOT GOD
Funny how
they speak for him-
With makeshift halos.
Though say his name
The demons stir-
He let's me see.
If I should wander
the path of the monster.
Then it's no wonder
That I am deceived.
Funny how
exposing scars-
Can scream a message.
Shaking hands
retracting claws-
Reptile smile.
If I should ponder
the word of the creature.
Then it's no wonder
Comfort brings disease.
YOU ARE NOT GOD!
not lamb.
Your blood will clean no one.
Just shut up ...
they speak for him-
With makeshift halos.
Though say his name
The demons stir-
He let's me see.
If I should wander
the path of the monster.
Then it's no wonder
That I am deceived.
Funny how
exposing scars-
Can scream a message.
Shaking hands
retracting claws-
Reptile smile.
If I should ponder
the word of the creature.
Then it's no wonder
Comfort brings disease.
YOU ARE NOT GOD!
not lamb.
Your blood will clean no one.
Just shut up ...
