Intellectualising my desire
Making up excuses
No shame
I don't even want it
Smart ***

Really
No preassure here
Whatever you feel the most comfortable with
You can come on over
We'll just talk
Promise

Spitting lies
To her, to myself
I'm doing fine
Trying to get by
Doing right by
Her

Ah yes
The great she
It's all for her
I put a princess on a pedestal

Watch her reign
Maybe she can tame
Me, the animal

Wild minds, strange times
We were young once
Special, privileged yes
But not in a good way
It shows
How we're interacting with the world

Knocking on wood
Waling by
Three times
Knock, knock,
crash
That tree went down
Not rooted deep enough

We're all bound to fall
We'll be doomed
Once the storm hits

Went out
Met her
In a bar
Basil smash that ***
As usual, I talk to much
Smart ***
Quick smack to my face

A little later
We leave together
Off to new horizons
I forgot your bridal *******
Stranger
Jokes aside
Got no rubbers on me
We gotta improvise

Fast forward a couple of nights
Honey dew on a full moon
Got my ***** out
Hanging out in plain view
We're in it now, deep
Call it a honey moon
I'll call you soon

Call you mine?

Yes I will

I'm sick of myself
Tonight
I want out
Of my skin

Tonight
I'm a changed man
A natural charmer
Rub it in

No more worrying
Overthinking
Turning away
No more to shy kinda guy

I want to see
What life could be like
Without holding back
Without me being me

Make you out from across the bar
Look into your eyes
No flinching, holding out
Let's make out
We'll work it out

Eye you up and stare you down
Please don't go
Come closer babe
Share some warmth with me
Let's share some digits

I'll see you tomorrow
Pick you up at five

If that's alright?
****

***** hands
Working hands
Strong, loving hands
Joining together
Be gentle blue collar boy

What do those hands do?
Grabbing, holding, squeezing
Hold me tight
At the waist and around my neck
Shots to the face
Stains on the sheets
We leave our marks
On the back

Come closer lover boy
Get me *****
Mess with me
I'll clean you up
Give you a nice buzz, buzz cut

Something to remember me by

As we grow older
As we fall apart

How deep is the ocean
Mister fisher man?

All glitter and gold on top
Waves crowned royalty
And darkness below
Darkness
Without end

Your troubles
Washed off
Sink and forget
Look up from below
Look!
Watch the light break at the surface
Magnificent, one of a kind kinda sight

Seep it in
Let's go deeper
We'll drown togehter
Take it further
How romantic

Here I am weightless
Can't fall for you anymore
I can't hear you

At last there is silence
As you drift off
The world goes quiet

And one day I woke up
Smelling flowers again
In full blossom
A feint scent of almonds walking by
I can't help it
It makes me smile

Squashed sticky between my fingers
I hold hidden flavours
Wet grass and dirt beneath me
Lying down at the river banks
My favourites are alive again

Nostalgia served on a platter
A slight sting to the chest
Watching the light break and curl at the surface
Glittering gold shimmering
Water always finds it's ways

Don't get me wrong
I still feel empty
A hollow shell of a tree
That burned out long ago
Keeping up appearances

But as the sun goes down
The gentle spring night air
Speaks to me of summers warmth
Filling me, holding me up
Making my step a little lighter

I long for somebody
To love me
Soon
But for now
Today was a good day
