How heavy the days are.
There's not a fire that can warm me,
Not a sun to laugh with me,
Everything bare,
Everything cold and merciless,
And even the beloved, clear
Stars look desolately down,
Since I learned in my heart that
Love can die.

waiting for a connection that never comes hard
you remember that sleep is just like forgetting
and not even the tenderest hearts keep hurting
once they stop their wide awake circles

morning won't dawn when it comes today
even light has regrets placid and useless
and morning always always comes
muted muting snow grey to abide

here, in this place, in this light,
in this laden love

Holy moly I've gone and done it again
sacrificed myself for the good of man
like I can gather up our sorrows and tackle them
off a cliff at the last minute
I can do it, I've got this
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I WON'T let you down
But I will
As long as you don't know me
Take a closer look at my face
and try to find the muscles that move it
the neurons and blood vessels forming a mask
around my pillar-mind of nothing
I just want to reach out to you
and shake hands with that common chaos
that sparks between us in silence
while we sleep, or in the times
when we're all too excited to shut up

[If you really want to see me, close your eyes]

I just want to be seen as the imaginary friend that I am
You can make me something new
I can make you something too
Alchemy is what you make it
and trust me, we can turn our bodies
into gold, our eyes into black holes
our thoughts into galaxies

The cosmos is behind your eye
but you see yourself differently outside of the mirror

Light warps around our opinions of each other
and we catch our expectations out of the corner
of our eye

Free me, Feel me, **** me, Fear me

I want to do it all
I want to feel alive
So let's pass out on the floor like twin children
Sharing the womb of this house with
our brothers and sisters
This room is what we've turned our mother into
and she shelters us from the cold
for now, until we want to try our luck
on the outside

We'll try to get back here
after we've had enough of the mad
world full of mad mothers and
fierce fathers

Come along for the ride, but know that
I let go of the wheel a long time ago
And now I laugh and spin and flip
and I only wear my seatbelt
when other people are driving the car

Call me a control freak
but truth be told I surrendered to this
car crash truth long ago
when I heard the first murmurs
of metal bending and
sparks hitting the pavement

Is the ship going down
or is heaven at the bottom of the sea-
the coldest womb

The ocean
which birthed the lizard
of our darkest subconscious desires

Let's not go back there too soon
I've only just learned to crawl
on land, I want to walk these streets
and see my breath as I speak
to the people I meet-
The other air breathers
and ******* children of
forgotten mothers-
The representatives
of falling stars
and forgotten gods

It's all here,
so stop trying to run away
from it

It's all here
all the love and hate and laughter
of the world is present in this
odd moment of keys pressed down
like fenceposts, so I can show you
where my borders lie

It's all here

So stop running

The sun and the moon
blend together in my mind,
one for each of my eyes. 
Everything is dark and cold,
and Everything is hot and bright.
I presume, though, that I do not betray the standards
of hope and humanity, nor justice and morality,
but who else will have sympathy for the wicked?
