I drive, and I drive, and I drive just so I can sit by your side and listen to the clock tick.

Tick tock, tick tock.

We inch closer to one another like teenagers. Silently grinning inside instead of saying the obvious. We brush hands reaching for our drink. Eyes connect and our lips touch. A taste of innocence with a underlying tone of lust.

One day.

One day, I say. And when its time to part ways I can't help but want to stay. Yet I know thats not possible. It's too late and my hearts not quite inhabitable.

Driving home you're my mind's constant. Chain smoking and fogging my windshield. Trying to stay between the lines but my minds drifting and swerving like a drunk on Sunday.

One day.

One day, I say. This won't be such a hazy haze but our dreams set ablaze. Torching towns in our path, I say.

And with this revelation I'm calm and I put out my cigarette. I unlock the door and I lay in the dark. I hold my breath and listen to that sweet tick tock.

Tick tock.

Crossing into another threshold I can not speak My breath is held Following foot steps Lost...

Crossing into another threshold
I can not speak
My breath is held
Following foot steps
Lost and misplaced

Wading through muddy water
I stand stagnant
Feet stuck
Crying solitary tears
Turn the river red

Waking up alone and unknown
Look around
My body paralyzed
Blind to my eyes
Something rests upon my chest

Sitting up I catch my breath
Still feeling your weight
Heart still racing
Forced to face
A hidden fate

It wasn't easy to walk away from you I never sent for you before Don't expect from me ...

It wasn't easy to walk away from you
I never sent for you before
Don't expect from me
A shelter of affection

So what am I supposed to do now
Patience is something I frown on
Yet I find myself lying in purgatory
Dreaming a dream caught in limbo
You still don't think I'm going to see it through

Fighting against myself is futile
Seeing the structure of my pride
Is really all you can do now
I'll build it away from you
And celebrate my character in question

It wasn't easy to walk away from you
I never sent for you before
Don't expect from me
A shelter of affection

So where do you want me now
Virtues swarm your bed
Holding a breath in hopes of a slip
But your world could never be
Something short of stable

Congratulate my prediction lost
Towers built against your weathered heart
Submissions feigned for affection
Lost on a cold clock
Beating in time to a drugged mind

It wasn't easy to walk away from you
I never sent for you before
Don't expect from me
A shelter of affection

You were the one Who talked me up A stranger Lying there Pills and cup You spoke Death...

You were the one
Who talked me up
A stranger
Lying there
Pills and cup
You spoke

Death and truth
Pried me up
Without a sound
I fumbled to life
Not a stranger

You were the one
Calming storms
Waged all night long
Gently taking my blade
Thank you for
Holding pressure to my vein

What made you linger too
Stop the flow
Tears and blood
Resistance, too
No stranger

And you were the one
Taking my midnight calls
Took a chance on something
It might be nothing
You're no stranger

You are such a beautiful liar. You mascarading model fill me with desire. I’m falling...

You are such a beautiful liar.
You mascarading model fill me with desire.
I’m falling at your feet.

Read my writing
It will be your gospel

Insecurites hidden behind blue eyes
Your pride will eventually kill
What’s left inside you

It’s so pitiful what you are
So tragic you are
Build your walls
Hide who you are

Because you are beautiful
Such a beautiful liar
Mascarading in your mask
We fall at your feet

Read this my love
Let it be your truth

Such a precious tragedy
You should wear a crown
Numb the beauty that is dying in you

So angry you are
Smiling you do
Fake you are now
Fading away

You are beautiful
My beautiful liar
Mascarading around me
Filling me with desire
I’m at your feet

Read this my dear
Let it tell you I know
I know who you are

You are my beautiful liar
Your blue eyes are haunting me
Don’t let your pride kill what’s inside
It’s not who you really are
Just because you are beautiful
A beautiful liar

Sitting here lost in a reverie Or it could it be another memory Haunting me Over and over...

Sitting here lost in a reverie
Or it could it be another memory
Haunting me
Over and over again
You're killing me
Working your way from inside out
Lets make a move
No one can know about
Silent violence
Steady- hold on to me
Running- make me real
Out of breath so I can feel
I'll tumble from the Empire
Before I become another liar

Draw a thin line Crimson is the color Smile a smile that won't wash away Fade into the background...

Draw a thin line
Crimson is the color
Smile a smile that won't wash away
Fade into the background

*tick, tock*
The seconds become hours become days
Slow motion- no rewind
Think about the end

Dream a perfect dream
Get it all out

Crimson
Threatening sanity
Closing in
Grant my wish
You stole yours

I'm asking
I'm pleading

Play Sylvia
Head in the oven
Smothering

Where's your mother
Dying

Your hands
Crimson weapons
Threatening the life beside you

Rain washes my face in waves Slapping me into silence Lost in this maze Like Alice I cry Like...

Rain washes my face in waves
Slapping me into silence
Lost in this maze
Like Alice I cry
Like her I take the pill

I'd switch places with her
Only if I could
I'd borrow your heart
And jump start- my emotions
I'd steal your faith
Watch you crumble
In your blood I'd bathe

Running- you and I collide
Here you die
Slowly clutching your Mary
Choking on your silvery tongue
Sweat drenches your brow
Isn't this scary

The train is leaving
No time for goodbyes
Lets runaway
You and your fake Mary
Me and my Alice
We'll be lost
In the sea of lonely people

Down below
There's only devastation there
What your faith seemed to manifest
The unimaginable come to life
An apocalypse for your cause

All the things I've left inside Left out to crash in place The lights are out No one's home If...

All the things I've left inside
Left out to crash in place
The lights are out
No one's home
If you were dead I couldn't care
Alive was a word spoken in a whisper
Lost in time and space
Words aren't set in stone

Carry me over
This gap in grey
Be a man and don't let us see that frown
You're just like you
A prisoner in your dirty cell
A dealer in lies and lecture
Let go

Take time
These wounds are yours
Guess I like to steal
It rhymes with heal
Fade out and out
Cross state lines
It rhymes with crime

Eighteen and Seven
Twenty five and dead
I thought this was yesterday
My head it wasn't here
I left it all outside
With that misty eyed girl 'trina

My turn to close my eyes
I've said my eighty good byes
This one's real
Knock me down to get back up
I don't where to begin
Maybe with a good defense

Eden's lips were sugar to taste
With finger tips like satin
Crimson crosses smile to the masses
Jump ship and let me get redeemed
In a Christian's clutches I can't refrain
I'm whispering blasphemy in her churches

I would have walked away Faster then autumn cries Had I known this would have changed Turned...

I would have walked away
Faster then autumn cries
Had I known this would have changed
Turned around
Snow come my way

So sorry
Thought you felt whole again
Wind chimes
Sing me your sad song
We can dance
Into your wonderland

Looking through my window pane
Tracing paths on the sill
Sleeping through eyes wide open
I dreamt, curtains flew
Even here you live

Taste of mercy
I want it all
An imaginary life so right
mary couldn't deny
String me up
Make me a noose

Candy stripes on your vice
Lock my eyes in time
Decisions manifest
Scrawled aloud
I confess
Dreams built in devotion

So I dreamt a dream last night... One I thought would never come. But, oh, how it did! Against...

So I dreamt a dream last night... One I thought would never come. But, oh, how it did! Against the backdrop of a starlit night sky, there was a kiss suspended in time. One that lingered, both afraid to let go. While we sat upon cobble stone steps, my breath caught, I thought- could this be anymore surreal? In that moment I bit down hard- your upper lip. I wanted to feel, what I was pretty sure was real. Appreciation was obvious when you grabbed me by the hair- kissed me deeper and climbed on my lap.
All the while- my body taking you in- swallowing you whole, I couldn't have been more happy or enthralled. Yet tears began to stream down my face as I held your cheeks and looked into your soul, down your eyes- that could never lie. And I know. I know now and I can't hide or deny what has been there along.
So there upon those cobble stone steps that lead to a church that denies our love- we made love. Oh, how I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you!

Mea Culpa She's a cancer, she's a question. She's a constant, new direction. Endless infection,...

Mea Culpa

She's a cancer, she's a question. She's a constant, new direction. Endless infection, invading my perception. I can not be saved. I can only be brave. Accept my grave and take my fate. This isn't an escape clause. Really, I'm more like a scape goat. Escape in me and I will never let her be. Never let you feel what's living in me.

Te absolvo

She's a secret, she's a flurry. Of punches. Blurry, my eyes. Sanction your seasons to seperate. No need to operate. Gently pull the splinters from our lips. Taste the contents of her cup. I'm in an artist's clutches. Bearing all my sin it's impossible not to grin.

Non serviam

She's a myth, she's the legend. She's the ground upon which my hooves pound. She's the sun, she's your daughter. She's the reason my heart does falter. Insistent breath on my neck, make me your bitch and make me moan. Take me home. You're almost there, don't fall, i'm climbing up your walls.

I’m just a liar A complicated center to a chapter in your story Say one word and I’ll steal...

I’m just a liar
A complicated center to a chapter in your story
Say one word and I’ll steal your conscience
Any hour
I’m just a pro with no cash and a dirty horse
A missing Shangri La and a stolen heart
God of a cold war with a sunken battleship
The silly one with a silvery tongue
Your loaded gun with no safety
Net worth of zero
I’m your girl – Available any hour
Pockets full of morale
Just in case you forgot yours

I’m just a dreamer
A screamer who likes to hear glass shatter
A soft white machine with hidden parts
Owner of a southern belle
Her little dog too
I’m your mistress - available any hour
A siren I am not
Coquette sounds better
Manipulative maybe but that’s just the bottle
I am her
And I want what I want

Like Johnny Walker I sniff you out
Here she comes again
Stepping over debris
Left in the wake of her reprieve
I can feel the warmth once more
So I’ll change my plea to guilty
Reasons of mental defect or insanity
Does it matter

I won’t lose her
She’s as close to me as Lilly is
Don't forget your name
You are you and I am you

Shine a light Shine a light on me And watch the things I say Or plan They all get lost...

Shine a light
Shine a light on me
And watch the things I say
Or plan
They all get lost on their way

And you just don’t get it
You’d rather keep it copasetic
Watch me drown and float down
And you don’t
Keep a light on
You keep it
Sympathetic

I don’t mean anything to you
But I still reach for you
From six feet under I do
Look up to you

There’s no mistaking
The rich man keeps taking
While the water rises
The rich bury their poor
And it gives you away

I’d rather regret it
Before I refuse to get it

And you still don’t get it
You’d rather keep it copasetic
Watch them drown and float down
And you don’t
Keep a light on
You do
Keep it sympathetic

Yet we still reach for you
From six feet under we do
Look up to you

What’s all this talk of inertia? Just when I thought I was walking across the ocean. You...

What’s all this talk of inertia?
Just when I thought I was walking across the ocean.
You come and play Franklin with a serpent’s smile
Have you seen me in white clothes with a baby on my hip?
Did you forget I wear mine upside down?

It’s all right. I get it.
We should all live in your stable.
Control me if you can’t control yourself.
I get it. You’re losing it.
I’m waiting for your breakdown,

So what about this new king?
I thought salvation was near.
Yet all keep hearing about is Al Jazeer
Al Kaida and never Al Gore.
Just the war and never our environment.
I think we might have a black Bush
What an inconvenient truth.
