Come in, come in I hate how you're always late It makes me remember all the forgetting I had to do To get not quite over you

I remember breezy rusted rain, Threshing pain, ****** hand resting upon white-hot candle flame Midnight breeze All the tears of divorce I remember the misty eyed blinking Of tropical winter during spring And how firefly lights slam-ran roller coaster routes Simmering on summer ozone Missing the blunderbuss beat Of pregnant lighting down low And how gold, red, and orange drift On cold down to the snow

Sundown
I will leave you far behind I will leave you in the dirt I will toss you to the wolves How much does that hurt?

I must admit that Sometimes I fall in love with the things I see day to day A stream bubbling under a flash of mountain heather A bird on the wing through the forest canopy A girl in a pretty dress who smiles just to me And I also admit that I'm a little sappy when it comes to things like that Because the world at times can be so complex, So chaotic and deceitful and sad And so, I think, it gives a little to show your soul And witness a soul in everything Because I believe it's the most beautiful thing A girl in a dress, A bird on the wing.

I must admit
'Of course I like it' She giggles so coy Pastel pink frayed at the ends I can see the outline of treasure As she glides over to me Takes my hand and Walks me into the back room She's not like others, I swear. She's fresh and new like a June breeze and Soft, sweet as a fresh peach, Like Dead Sea Salt on a dead sea beach. She swings and bobs and hums sunny sweet While she walks And while she talks, with rhythm. Heartbeat. Am I happy? Now. Sure, now that I know That she's a frozen concept, stagnant snow. Perfection? Deception. So it's the truth at the end

Let's make a scene
"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.) The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, And arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.) God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade: Exit seraphim and Satan's men: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.) I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)"

Mad Girl's Love Song
I am frightened like a child lost upon a day trip And angry, vengeant upon who I do not know O, but I am no calm saint of a man! For there is a surge and a storm in my gut It spins and roils, this queasy gyre Circling my hate and my love and all the anguish and fury of the seas! And my fingers they tremble with the potent rage of apocalypse wind! My arms pulse with sickening static by The lightning pounding through my veins And I wail and sway and groan As if I were casting a hex upon the entire world

This lyric is for no one No one who stood courageous Upon the inferno of our world For no one who laughed when they beat Rodney King No one stood silent and said 'well that's just a shame' For no one who watched the boy become a man No one who didn't doubt him when he said 'I think I can' No one to give him bliss blanket of advice Who wasn't there to tell him how to not waste his life And for no one who suffered in the alleyways of Skid Row No one weeps for the ****** face down in the snow No one who says 'I don't want to know, I didn't know' This lyric is for no one in particular No one who sobs to herself in the night No one who cuts her wrists after mom and dad fight No one gives her a hug saying 'it's okay, it's alright' This is for no one who sees outside their world For no one cares about whats inside the girl This is for no one who cares for the disturbed boy Dreaming, Screaming his angry young years away No one to tell in memory of my love Who conquered my Earth and sky above Instead this is for no one who stood by Watching the happy and the sad float by For no one wants to lie and stare at the ceiling and cry Or die This is in memory of no one in particular For no one who did nothing doesn't deserve anything.

In memory of no one in particular
Sing? I sing no more As a bird sings more And Learning? I remember learning I remember learning every curve of your body In between the hours of your awake Lying I don't remember lying Not once Not even twice Dying. I can wait for the dying Or can't wait, Depending on the day But honestly, between you and me Between rhapsody and harmony, Between the outstretched arms of eternity I still think there's something left for me

Between you and me
Sometimes I see birds flitting through the trees And want to write. But then I set down and start After a paragraph or two, it all comes apart And sometimes when a pretty girl walks by I smell her perfume And that makes me want to write Sometimes I watch myself struggle And that, well that makes me want to cry And sometimes I think of the world And all the hate and ugly in it It makes me want to write And cry And then yesterday I woke up And remembered that its important To make beauty of the ugly And the love from the hate Today I woke up Looked at myself in the mirror And remembered the hate and the ugly It made me want to write
