I'm not accountable for my past, or my future.
I've walked over a thousand bodies of my past Who I am no longer I've felt the blood and the decay I saw them rot I killed them all What joy! I've set fires to myself And like the Phoenix I rise, I dance upon my ashes

Rise (2014)
How odd it is To be on the outside of understanding To have your feelings turned into spears A prescription for hysteria A life spent being a bin for emotions Emptied when full Quiet and strong But I wondered, What is at the bottom of an emotion?

Empty when full
When I die I want to come back as a tree Cut me down and recycle me Or let me grow and use me for shade Even carve your names in my truck if that helps you get laid When I die I want to come back as a bird And fly around the world eating 50 shades of worms I'd spread my wings and fly around the sun Until some ******* shoots me with his gun

Reincarnation
New York City Heavy, baby Weighs you down Holds you tight Straight to the point No Bull New York City Takes the right hand path Full of logic and wisdom Heavy, baby Filled with concrete Pick up your feet, stand up tall Look straight ahead, shoulders back New York City Jazz and flashing lights Leading the night

And I began to become obsessed Obsessed with the vision of love Observing The way their pupils dilate when eyes meet The trickle of a smile slowly drifting across a face The breathing in of another before a kiss The symmetry Not at all of my own Wanting to understand Innocently trying to take a little of that energy for myself To hold it, to feel it To learn it and study it Maybe hoping that I could replicate Whatever I lack

A single observation
There’s an innocence In 22 That I’ll probably never meet again Blind faith meeting blind hope Carefree meeting careless The confidence of an undefined brain Growing harder with age Men see it too 29 will never be as fun as 22 When the male gaze Looks past you Because your head is held higher And your body is no longer new Especially to you

You are the wanted one, men strive for you The serpent of desire, Urging men to play with fire They run and chase But you play games Like a cat with a string Until your feet get tired

Eve
I only know To blame myself When these love affairs fail, Because I think you are too perfect To ever be at fault.

Blame
I wonder what you saw In that first look When our eyes met Maybe our shared loneliness Urged you to approach Like you already knew my secrets. Late nights spent watching old movies of femme fatales and heroes The sounds of pretty poems and old guitars filling our air instead of words from a thousand unknowns Staring longingly at ***** lovers on silent trains Feeling empty in our bellies as we walk home Alone To empty beds Yet our minds are filled with plenty of thoughts to keep us fed Falling asleep dreaming of the day Where a you might  meet a me.

Hello hello oh mystery man It's funny how people meet Are you the one who fortune told Would kiss the ground under my feet? Now let's not get too ahead of ourselves Wearing our hearts on our sleeves But I've been waiting for someone to come along And make a woman out of me A voice still unheard yet I can already imagine I'll melt like morning dew Hello hello my mystery man It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
