Don’t you want to run away together?
And perfect our crimson crimes together
Eye spying and lying for the other
Under cover lovers
Don’t need to touch
Just a taste
Is good enough
Now that you’re gone away
I miss feeling you hover
As I’m bundled under
In your pull
I’m a fool
You take me where I have no tools
In your wake
A brand new slate
The grass is greener
So much at stake
Now though you’re gone away...
Don’t know what to say
Now though you’re gone away...
I know when to stay

Salty sins
Slip off my skin
Baptized, I begin again
Bad twin
Mannequin
Swivel slip
Shenanigans
Overflowing
Keep it going
Forward rowing
Breathe and blowing
Appetites
Only growing
Moment, posing
Where were going
Future folding
Forming, molding
Hyper-culture overdosing
Ultra dramatic
Super classic
Dandelions
Made of plastic
Laugh it off
Spastic elastic
Bounce and blast off
Erratic romantic
Snakes surround me
Blinking, sinking
Echos sounding
Stinking thinking
Cost compounding
So astounding
Fountain spouting,
Auto-routing
Into the black
Death reflection
Sudsy and soaked
My bent religion
Watch me
Drowning
In fickle hearts
Pounding loudly
Im slip, spin, splitting
Program imprinting
Filling, skimming, stripping, spilling
Crypticly petrified
Sedated and sterilized
Softly by your side
Utilized
Crystallized in my disguise

You and I
Parallel lines
Easy to define
Till you passed me by
I’m fragile to the core
Always needing more
Done my best to protect you
You left no clues
Even from here, icy clear
Nothing comes close
Not even near
Searching for a way to replace the space,
you left and it stayed,
when you went away

The love we fight for, the love we lack
The heights we soar for a heart attack
To look at you while you’re looking away
Suddenly sends me rolling in flames
I see where I’m going, what would’ve became
I forget myself, forget my name

My favorite kind of numb
The mess that you made true
My one and only prayer
No getting over you

I want to taste your mind
When you’re tongue tied
I want to be the one you want to be beside
Dig deeper down in the slime and the grime
Moonlight’ll be our guide
To climb up to great heights
Color out of the lines
You’re my gold mine
Serpentine

Through the lenses of my mind
Frequently a shadow I’ll find
A quiver of some stirring air
A knot formed folorn in my very hair
A constellation that once untaught
Leeds me deep in a forest of thoughts
Where ghosts drone on and on and on
About lovers once come and gone
But I don’t mind, I say, I try
I can feel I’m reeling still from days so hot and dry
Scorched my feet, melted my eyes
Hot air mirages sat in the sky
There I spent plenty of time
To know not whine over what I’ll never find
Wander along all the dotted lines
You take yours and I’ll take mine

Perform
In the storm
Deformed
Eyes cold but slithers so warm
Lukewarm, transform

Put on them all
Fly off as I fall
The ape, the plain Jane, the prism, the cage
I’ll wait while you contemplate

Ate up all they gave me
So I was numb when they replaced me
Rearrange me, I feel naked
Thinking of you, memories faded

Ritual abuse
Masking my view
Pucker up and face the truth
Shrug it off and see right through

I think I’m at the bottom
Below the waves
You go high, I go low
It’s always the same song
And I don’t know
What words to say
To make you feel the same way
It must be just another good day
I am here and here I’ll stay

I think I lost my mind the other day
Standing in a supermarket lane
But I don’t care
How or where
I’ve cared too much
I know I’ve lost touch
It must be just another good day
I am here and here I’ll stay

So sick of waiting
Pacing this cage I’m in
Straining to see past your curse
Your fantasies and expectations
The grand and the absurd
Tired from trying to act mature
Your pictures blurred but
Ill remember every slur and swerve
Ripping it off doesn’t hurt worse
Pain breaks the prison, prism
Fully immersed

Stars in my eyes keep me alive
Gets me in gear and shifts me in drive
My manic synapsis turned up so bright
I’m all alone but I don’t really mind

Your blood flows through mine
Dilates my very veins
Maybe but a drop spilt
A jealous lovers stain
From which grows a rose
Proof love was worth the pain
The wait, the growth
None was in vain
Your breath assumes mine
Gasping for a hope
There is a heart in your heart that only I know
Each move synchronized
We are hypnotized
Like a wave we roll
Glittering masks
A mirror mind
Lighting the way home

Why do we play this deranged charade?
Silly dancers, changing shapes
Did I entertain, distract from the pain?
Did I catch you smiling as you turned away?
Where the waves break, it’s gets insane
Knuckling down, despite the rain
Which, washes the well in which I remain
Walking on glass in this ****** ballet
Deliberate decay, butts in the tray
Flip side, I pray, this street’s two way
Architectures grand, but it’s just a trap
It bleeds like the trees so we savor the sap
I lose myself being heartfelt
Such a try hard, puts holes in my belt
Marks on my knees, scratches and welts
This mask may be neat but inside I melt
