I was a lover, before this war
held up in a luxury suite, behind a barricaded door now that I've cleaned up, gone legit I can see clearly: round hole round whole, square peg don't fit I'm locked in my bedroom, so send back the clowns my clone wears a brown shirt, and I seduce him when there's no one around mano y mano, on a bed of nails bring it on like a storm, till I knock the wind out of his sails And we don't make eye contact, when we have run-in's in town just a barely polite nod, and nervous stares towards the ground I once joined a priest class, plastic, inert in a slowdance with commerce like a lens up a skirt And we liked to party and we kept it live and we had a three volume tome of contemporary slang to keep a handle on all this jive Ennui unbridled, let's talk to kill the time how many styles did you cycle through before you were mine? and it's been a while since we went wild and that's all fine but we're sleepwalking through this trial and it's really a crime it's really a crime it's really a crime it's really criminal We're just busy tempting, like fate's on the nod running on empty, bourbon and god it's been a while since we knew the way and it's been even longer since our plastic priest class had a goddamned thing to say I was a lover before this war. |

You walked around
Thought yourself beautiful Just too bad they stare, just too bad they stare Broke up your crown Called you unusable See how well you fare Stole underground To kick your heart around Banished from above, banished from above Forgot yourself, Go home and shot your health Left it all for love I know there is delerious quips Last seen with friends wishing them well you listen for the truth Just too bad they lie, just too bad they lie Oh come around in form of future youth Summoned from the sky Ooh, ooh I know I'm a man, I know I'm a man I know I'm a man, I know I'm a man I know I'm a man, I know I'm a man I know I'm a man, I know I'm a man Refuse these cruel Unusual fools Leave them to rule in hollow point hell You've much to do now listen to the truth Cradle in a cry, cradle in a cry Your life will shine, ?File indisputable? Keep your head on high, keep your head on high When you walk around, know you are beautiful Aimless and alive broken and defined When you walk around, know you are future youth Summon to the sky Ooh, ooh |

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Suddenly, all your history's ablaze Try to breathe as the world disintegrates Just like autumn leaves, we're in for change Holding tenderly to what remains And all your memories are as precious as gold And all the honey and the fire which you stole Have you running through all your red-cheeked days Shaking loose these souls from their sacred hiding space Hold your heart courageously As we walk into this dark place Stand steadfast erect and see That love is the province of the brave Pushed under this expanse of bursting stars Let this burning brightly illuminate the where we are In this hollow that lovers' voices occupy Let it follow that we let it free, let it fly Breaking open the walls of this cage Intoxicated, oh so amazed Much like falcons tumbling from the heights at play Conjoined, talons engaged Hold these hearts courageously As we walk into this dark place Stand steadfast beside me and see That love is the province of the brave |

Playhouses
Swept away by the river now Confounded Sound it out now Vodka cran in your hand and whose little girl are you now? Oh I'd ask for this dance but I know you'd play like you don't know how What your coy smile exposes A recent memory of when we shit our bed of roses And I know the moon above is shining down But not for our love So for who? So for who? Beneath the cigarettes and sugar shit of alcohol breath I can taste the ocean on your tongue Remember when we sat on the sidewalk of your old block Against the wall under the stars Talking about love's meaning Well, I wasn't dreaming I meant every word Just didn't know your demons Do you know mine, babe? Are we wasting time, babe? Playhouses Haunted by Broken spirits Just trying to get high Well we chose this course but the weather changed And the river froze And when it thawed it was running Backwards and dry now I suppose it's appropriate to cry now Over wasted time And naked lies Still get wasted sometimes |

Eyes wide mine, suddenly everything
Flies by fine, mind goes on holiday In its stead, clicking along the curb Clucking tongues, how could they have the nerve? There is hardly a method you know There is hardly a method you know It's a broken poem, started up yesterday And it came true now, mind was on holiday It's an open road will we soon see the end It's an open book, a story to tell the band There is hardly a method you know There is hardly a method you know There is hardly a method you know There is hardly a method you know I'm a storm faced cloud, hanging in dystrophy I'm a cold, base clown laughing at enemies It's a rough wild world, could you please chaperone? It's a mind field trip, oh leave it the fuck alone This is hardly the method you know This is hardly the method you know There's a purple pain strangling yesterday There's a purple stain spattered on interstates It's an awkward stage grasping at anything 'Cause it's lost the page, can't find a word to say But they want you to Oh, they want you to Yes, they want you, too Oh, they want you, too Broken plates on dirty highways Pave the way for alien grace There is hardly a method you know Broken plates on dirty highways Pave the way for alien grace There is hardly a method you know |

Beg the bee's forgiveness as it's falling from your sleeve
Watch its guts pump poison into sting Watch it reach completeness, see it fall asleep Legs above fold in eternal dream Oh that calls to mind a joke, an off coloring About these fools blindfolded, drugged, and raped and left laughing They let the devil in, he brought his pirate friends They brought a hunger for blood, and flesh and bone and skin So teeth left chattering, and tongues flexed to sing Got dressed up in so many fancy things Is it a waste of time, please tell me if you mind Me dipping into useless sentimentality A rant on how things used to be when this shit was free I answered my own question, I can hear the crickets yawning But in the back pocket of a discarded pair of jeans Is still a priceless ticket to the grandest opening So when the chariot arrives, you'd best enjoy the ride Cause when we get to heaven's gate, we're not getting inside Better beg forgiveness Better drop to knees Better find your ticket Before we join the bees |

From the depths I called you, Ma
For your breath and breast so warm and fabled Your hands reached inside Grabbed my heart, enlarged, disabled Hailed for your mercy An ear that cares How the blues sound from up there? With my wet hair, I wipe the blood off of your feet Carry me through these shark infested waters Well, you spared me from slaughter for sure But these sharks are equally in need of a martyr Oh, kindness shared Undeserved purest gift, this life you've spared How the blues sound from up there? Teeth gnashing, masticating this dumb tongue Quiet now, quiet now, hear that supplication Echo into the void Been received by no one Oh, my sweet dear Cold alone poisoning ourselves Engulfed in our own tears Signed, blues from down here. Pull the pin, drop it in, let it wash away your Time for your favorite story Of how to achieve golden glory Wash yourself all squeaky clean All in white on Hallow's eve Lessen your desire Hold your breath so patiently Never inquire how to be free Just stay on your knees You might doubt it Think there's nothing left for me To do but stomp my feet And shout about it From the depths I called you Now I'm waiting for an answer patiently Stuck here in the bottom of this well It's not the last you've heard from me |

My mind is like an orchard
Clustered in frozen portraits Blossoms that bloom so fine, just to drop from the vine I've seen them all tonight Who'd keep a silent orchard I'll shove under the floor boards Her rusty heart starts to whine in its telltale time so For freedom tonight Life is a measly portion A light on good friends and fortune It strips you away inside, drawn all your blinds Conceal it all from sight You took that final courter Shot the boy, no quarter We'll skip to the final line of some suicide note well publicized Or give it up tonight Carry with bursting order To the options you've layed before you The needle, the dirty spoon, the flames and the fumes Just throw them out tonight The time that you've been afforded May go unsolved, unrewarded Some nameless you cannot know may be coming to show you Unbridled love and light Should you grow an orchard? Covered in dusty portraits Blossoms that bloom so fine, just to drop from the vine I'll listen up tonight Don't keep it silent orchard Shove it all to the floorboards Your rusty heart will be fine, in its telltale time So give it up tonight |

Everyone makes the same wave at the same time
(like pebbles on water) and we call all those interrupting lines (sons and daughters) a community so let's join hands in some blessed unity But brother I don't wanna know ya I don't even wanna know ya and sister I don't wanna know ya I don't even wanna know ya But we're trapped In this lovely mess I hold you close and smile Fake, like they do way out west So many medicines for so many heads, and I'd help you clean those skeletons from under your bed, but I don't even know ya how could it be me that sends you? darling, didn't your momma tell you not to let no stranger bend you? Probably someone here that could Help to mend you But it's not me Got my own anxiety Sadness isn't any way to explain (Sadness isn't any way to explain) we'll probably crash heads throughout(?) (I know you're crying tonight) the course of this sin (drunk and insane) It's as simple as the way you wear your unpolished shoes And your righteous rays (a rainbow) But all I know is your blues ain't like my blues And why would they be? If there's one commonality It's that that feeling's mutual Given time you'll see You'll see |
