-
My thoughts they linger on the flesh
Soaked with blood and stink and sweat
-
I am one
With the blade in its sheath
-
A place so far away No person has seen it in the light of day
-
This time I feel a relief For this time, you didn’t hurt only me
-
That was not me back there and then For I could do no such thing
-
I can’t pigeonhole you And I usually don’t try
-
The children are dying But they have always
-
I crave you in my dreams You are my serenity
-
The plane is up and running
And they’re calling out my name
-
I hear the sounds all around
The people smashed against my flesh
-
And I wait until the morning comes
Knowing then is when I’ll hear the war drums
-
Oh do rear your ugly head You selfish, narcissistic creature; ungrateful even among the dead
-
I am not going to bow I will not go quietly
-
Some things I’ll never get over Some things never change
-
I see it now, so clear so bright How could I have missed such a light?
-
I should be your all I should be your everything
-
I’m livin' on If’s
I’m livin' on Butt’s
-
If tears could make dreams come true
I’m telling you, I’d be rich, and famous, and written a book or two.
-
My heart brakes so silently
I feel it in my chest
-
Part I I’ve plucked it from the tree so gently,
-
Please come in, come in it is so cold outside. We’ll warm you right up, sit by the fire.
-
Oh Depression, I see you there, floating on the brink.
You’re not hiding, you’re just waiting,
-
Everything is how I want it; if I mess up I go back in time and change it. They bow to my every whim, each little thing I want.
-
My laughter makes it awkward
The silence was serene
-
I applaud as she walks away My life as I know it has ended
-
Overwhelmed I see my fate
Like a beast that’s come to slay me
-
I attract them like flies to a wound They search me out and sense me
-
Buzzing in from unknown places
Frightening with their sounds
-
I’ll wait, in the darkness Alone except for the glow
-
-
I didn’t mean it like I said Or so I’m saying now
-
Perhaps I look prettier in the background Not so up close and personal
-
It peels away from the top layer to the bottom
Exposing the cement beneath
-
Hello me I’ve noticed how you’ve been
-
Take deep breaths I’ve been told Calm down they say
