Australian So, long story short, there were these two roads that diverged in a wood. / / And I- / I guess I took the one less traveled by. You know, that seemed to make all the difference.
The eyes that watched the innocence fall Carrying hearts upon their backs Carrying lives within their hearts Minds left not touched, but rather Poked Prodded Stabbed To the point of lost sanity The eyes that watched the innocence fall Lies crash around them Deceit is all comprehensible Reminiscing, a reverie, Laughter Joy Innocence That now only exists in such And will forevermore

Fluttering Innocence
You’re the cold side of the bed Come monday morning A quiet whose screams echo those same words "I dont love you. Anymore." A putrid piece of magic. Coated with the pungency of sin And id dance with you But these feet are like no other Vilified and scarred and lefted And lost beyond repair. And i’d sing to you With the shot voice upon which David danced to But i've left my voice behind Traded for a moment of what i call justice and I’d offer you a drink But alas, all I bear are these Battle scars and foreign thoughts And all these empty bottles

Empty Bottles
Abandoned here atop this rocky ledge I long for sweetness in the light of you And every time i close my eyes its like A darker paradise inside my mind These open waters take my soul away To drown it in another sweet escape Oh leave me leave me for you cannot stay You bother with a soul too lost at sea Oh leave me leave me for you shall not stay On here atop this rocky ledge with me

Sweetness
For what attracts us to the scarlet ribbon? As they crash upon the blood stained floor? For thou wilt struck thine enemy Vile and desecrated Laced in low To rise atop the jet black stair and to live alive forevermore Raining down from the darkened skies Is beauty beyond beauty beyond shining Down from the fisherman’s sky is indifference Vile and desecrated To be a living hell To rise atop the jet black stair and to how one can ever tell For what attracts us to the scarlet ribbon? As they fly from metal cold and lifeless Lift me up above thine enemy Anguished and griefed Craft is the plague To rise atop the jet black stair and again to how one can ever tell Falling sick upon a collapsed journey Is my love, for where art thou? Fallen to thine enemy? You promised You promised but how can one truly ever tell?

The Scarlet Ribbon
My burden when shes by my side The skies fell grey from winters rain beautiful as her morphine tipped name and autumn nights as summers died my only pain when shes here with me the trees gone bare and world awry and finding pleasure in not knowing why but letting the sorrow continue to be she tears at me and calls my name begging to be saved once more like clothes left upon a bedroom floor or forgetting how to walk down memory lane ...its a monarch butterfly and iced tea day a warm rain leaves angst in the air by burden when she doesnt care is what is there for me to save? oh oh the irony
