18/M Musically philosophical
Metal man of tin so tall Your back is glued upon my wall Your tongue hangs out, a pendulum But the lights are out so I knew you’d come Metal man of tin tonight You make a sound and look contrite Like tears should pour out from your eyes But you’re just a clock that vivifies Metal man with beady eyes I’m scared your promise will materialize My family’s asleep, don’t leave me here I know you can move, I can’t sleep in fear Metal man My eyes are heavy Mama says your just a clock But I see you breathe

Metal Man
If one’s bedroom is a reflection of their mind And my room is a maelstrom of loose papers, musical instruments, littered with ***** clothes along the floor, rancid, and contains cities of towers of used dishes And one narrow pathway between the piano and my bed … Suddenly psychology makes sense.

Bedroom Psychology
As the light mourns its death And the blue turns to murky ink blots This hopeless romantic Becomes the romantic hopeless And as I look into her eyes The sunset is reflected at me As it falls to the floor A drunken mess And we The two hopeless Throw down our fears And live one night— we truly live And I wake up to see Nothing more Than that It had been a dream And yet Nothing short Of a Dream.

An Evening Happily Wasted
Should I go on If I would just stay here On gliding wings Saying things That only you will hear There isn’t any part of me That’d trade you for the world You say you love me to the moon And back, but that’s inopportune So I will wait here Don’t care how far or near Just as I did yesteryear And I will always go on.

Go On
As far as I am concerned We are bound forcefully By the air we breathe That soaks up our tears And spits them back out In a deluge From black clouds of our own doing And by that measure Our minds are connected By the tongues of passion That twist vigorously Within the head of our greatest fear The one whom we love Unloading our universe unto another And our most undying need To morph the suffering in our world With morphine of our own Of which the recipe is dangerous; A vulnerable, broken, dangerous self That is trampled out of existence As a newborn fawn is stolen suddenly by an unforeseen winter wind The whispering wind in the air Carried by all of our breath… Indeed, we stole the fawn And in doing so— ourselves as well.

The Binding Law
Between those stars, far up high There are treks made short Magnified by the expanding eye This eye that saw a hundred happy memories That our beating hearts drummed for— Those countless fairytale stories And in those stars above We can only see them now As Peace’s Apollo-Dove That dove that rides on hope And sails on vaporized tears And only lands amidst our joy The stars that shone on the most hated day Disappeared into oblivion As our lives slowly fray While the stars we saw live We cannot People don’t always give All the love that they’ve got But in solace to us My dear friend, I swear this: All stars must die And thus we rise from the abyss.

This Clear Heaven
Show to me a Holy Book But I can tell you now That this music’s soft and subtle cry Echoes from inside, deep down There’s not too much in this life That I can give to make things right And when you’re gone I won’t go on Us both, just rolling with the wind

Rolling with the Wind
Le mie ossa sono state rotte Dal martello pesante Forgiato dei miei peccati E pesato per l’energia vitale Immagazzinata dentro me. Ciononostante, Non esiste una minaccia come me Con la potenza del bue E con il cuore del leone Che vagheggia uno scopo senza fine. E senza fine, vagheggerà lo scopo.

Lo Scopo
Then, the keeper said to her, “Do you remember me? I remember you. You filled my cup to get yourself drunk 2 days later I wake up in a ditch 13 feet under the surface of my own logic. How did you do it? You bewitched me with that smile And you left me, riding the dragon into my worst nightmare You lived with the friend of my enemy And here we stand, still… Still ****** into the worst dizzy spell of my life Still unsure whether to fight the dragon, or tame it. Tame the dragon, or tame you. Tame you, or tame my reason.” That is the story of a keeper’s life The knowledge of his self-contradictory self Running from the heart that soothes him Even if it is his own Just to come into control of himself Through the taming of a rare creature That nobody can domesticate. At least not him.
