“As Our Egos See Insult Where There Isn’t Any”

An echt heart aching
A mistake, a misunderstanding
Clever with my own meaning
To forgive, to learn something

Imperfect dames, surely we are
Forgive us, world, for we’re way too far
As meat for our starving egos
As nosh for our black pitch scars

Come hold me, come touch me
Tell me, remind me, love me
We ain’t just our egos’ food
We’re smarter, we’re brighter and we’ll be good

As Zealous Meets Euphoric

All time I’ve been looking,
One zealous, euphoric being
Is this real what i’m seeing?
A blue-dressed woman waving

Now, stumbling, now shaking
Tickled by her soul, I’m melting
So smitten that I’m making haste
Slowly please, just slowly chase

After Eight To Five

Short-lived smiles, fickle minds
Thou can’t choose, thou can’t pick
Y’all need this, you little freaks!
Fifty Nine, Sixty!
Now hit me up! I’m free!
Consume me, drown me
Time’s up? Almost! Hurry!

I Pray, I Wish, I Forgive

You’ll turn off the lights
You’ll lie next to me
You’ll whisper, “Pray”
We’ll close our eyes

I’ll thank, I’ll wish, I’ll ask
You’ll hear, you’ll listen
You’ll hug me, we’ll sleep
I’ll glow, I’ll live

I’ll turn off the lights
I’ll lie, I’ll pray
I’ll cry, I’ll close my eyes
I’ll glow, I’ll live, if you ever come back

What Have You Become?

Come go **** me, come go sorry
Yet I already built my home
Underneath your skin, under your lashes
Behind our smiles, behind those canvases
Should’ve known you’re empty
Should’ve filled the void

April's Slate

Mind what you did, mind what you did
She gave you light when you can't read
She fought for you when you're in need
Mind what she did, mind what she did

Safe as you walk, safe as you talk
Crippled and blinded by your heedless thoughts
Far-fetched scene, who will win?
Come, deny, turn your good side in

Here for something, here to perform
But why do you need to launder on your own?
Closer, she needs you to recover
Clever, indeed! but mind what you did, mind what you did!

An Exclusion

Kinda disappointing:
Instead of motivating,
You’re accusing, you’re defending

Kinda rude and confusing
We can’t feel that we belong
On our own, we should accomplish
On our own, we should celebrate
