With open arms and closed eyes
I welcome you.
Wondering how this will ever work,
‘tisn’t important at the moment is it.
Wake from your dream as I will from mine
and begin this new life together.
Alive but for you.
Would that I could meet you.
Razor shards of truth pave the straight road to apples
Find the angel to cut your throat and free your spirit
Take pills to drown your grin
Take the lord’s name in vain
Curse the name, the word, the three horsemen of Hell
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Spill missed opportunities on the air
Wax the soul of sin to polish away the cardboard
Break [...]
Blow me away
Carry me from my life
Quell the hellfire of my heart
That burns my soul to a crisp
Lift me on this wind that stinks of rotting flesh
Smelling of fetid desires, rotten with disuse
Take me away on the Valkyrie
Wipe my mind clean
The icy air must scour my thoughts
Scatter them far away where they won’t trouble me
Again
Make [...]
River of hope
Cutting through a brown field of despair
I want to rip off my clothing and
Swim naked and free and careless
But the shackles and shadows of my former life
Keep me here in pain and solitude.
And it’s impossible to cast them off so I
Swandive
With the chains
And they melt.
Fly me away to the life I knew
Fly me on steel wings carrying me
Suture my wounds with threads of fire
And cut me in two with blades of bronze
Back to the life that doesn’t exist
To the people who have forgotten me
Back to a place I once loved
A place I’ll never have again
I need to return but [...]
To find a way to live without you is
To try to put the snow back in the sky
To find a way to live without you is
To stop the rain in the air
To find a way to live without you is
To tell the sun not to shine
To find a way to live without you is
To make [...]
I unfold your skin and taste your heart
And it’s a simple matter, really, to wash the script of your life.
I wish for a rain of blue and receive a telegram of fate
Portentous of purple birds and basic lies.
Clip the wings and fly without abandon and dive to the cube
Unnecessarily forgiving the Tooth Fairy her slight.
Make [...]
With a simple life I try to understand your path
With crossing arms I take your touch and breathe it
In passing cars I see your face every time
Could I ever, would we have?
What can we make from lives sundered, from times past?
Everything and nothing at a time
Never fulfilled, dreams; never lived, existences; never played, chords
If I [...]
Tasting you and ice I cut you in two
To find your breath and the smile in your chest
I want to take you and call those numbers to deliver you to my hand
This is turning out all wrong
Piles of white glimmer and shine with a heat I miss
And suddenly music loses its tone
In bated pulse beats [...]
To forget you is to love you
To love you is to hate you
Rain of diamonds
Cutting deep in carets
Happy memories of salted lies
Each suture of fire.
The cocktail of peace
Lost in your soul
With peppermint and blood.
