My curtains
are drawn tight now
On this day.
When slumber,
becomes a habit
I'll choose to lay
Jeff Buckley,
drowned in a river.
Now that's a shame
That the Wolf,
in Tennessee,
shares your name.
So
come and get your
clarity
when you step down
you feel pathetic
but that's okay.
Time is my true friend now
Since it sleeps with me
When Atlas rubs
his sore shoulder
He drinks green tea.
I heard your face
just purchased twilight?
You must be the
sunset queen,
But can you
ever relinquish
The pain I've seen.
So
come and get your
clarity
When you got down
You turned contagious
Are you okay?
The urge
comes after midnight
It wants to play
So I pull out
my little bottle
to feel okay.
Let's salute
the fallen artists
We know them well.
They took the time
to form and structure,
Some heavenly hell.
So
come and get your
clarity
If we run out
don't feel pathetic
You'll be okay.

i just love the way you write its so satisfyingly nice and i always feel good and fancy a fag after reading one...nice in blue with music behind you are just so multitalented its rediculous. are you really a 73yearold from tadcasterupon tadpole with no hair and one front tooth and a cat thats gone all moldy and you balance you tea on top of a three legged old ricketty table and dip your biscuits in to soak so you can slurp your way through a next wordfling....or not.its just a wild guess using my innate psychic abilititties.

i can totally hear you singing this...the beat in my head is probably all wrong, but whatever, i said i could sing, but not make music.

I really love this poem! It is very powerful yet light and fresh. It is like eating an espresso brownie while drinking green tea. It doesnt seem like it would be the perfect match, but it is! This poem was a clean idea and very powerful!~Daina

Dude! this is a cool song, it rocks! I like the course and the part:
Time is my true friend now
Since it sleeps with me
When Atlas rubs
his sore shoulder
He drinks green tea.
