I laid in the chair
I knew what was coming
I anticipated
The pain
The hurt
The blood
I could see the tattooed man laying out his tools
He knew what was in store for me
He knew all about
The pain
The hurt
The blood
He tested his machine
He measured out the stains
Here it comes
The pain
The hurt
The blood
I heard that familiar buzz
That awful annoying buzz
I missed that familiar buzz
Reminds me of
The pain
The hurt
The blood
  Now the time has come
It’s all led up to this
It’s time to face
The pain
The hurt
The blood
2 hours went by
He never did stop
Every minute I felt
The pain
The hurt
The blood
Finally he was done
The job was finally done
I had dealt with
The pain
The hurt
The blood
I had survived another tattoo
I loved my new tattoo
And turns out I missed
All the pain
The hurt
The blood
I'm craving another tattoo

Too late to die young
too early to die

I always live through
stranger's eyes

Those which gaze
upon this maze called life

Clairvoyant
and pure
I surrender the choice

The poisons they see
they work swiftly

Constantly drowning in
the sea
and my body drifts
by currents
slowly

To beaches
To shores
found in oblivion

I'll stand up
dust off
and dive back again

Into riptides
That pull me far away
from here

To
Surrender the day
To
Surrender the year

So maybe pain is not
Black

And


White

But I believed you when you said
It

Will


End

who sings you to sleep?
who tells you the truth?
she carries divine breath in her chest
sacred heart beats between her *******
pores dripping with soma sweat
panting, exhausted, shudder and shiver
when the cool breeze brushes up against her

did you hear it in her secret sounds?
did you recognize it, soul aglow?
in the moment when the universe imploded
when you gave in and gave it all away
she wrung it from you like water from a towel
and surrendered you to the little death
to witness her power and marvel at bliss

"is this the truth?" you have to ask
"what is the name of that song?"
it is a song without a name, different every time
it is a truth that all forget the moment after it's revealed
for in these bodies and with these minds
we could never comprehend and live
with such a joy eternal

You mean everything to me
Today and every day
You make me a better person
For your way is one of honesty
Built upon a foundation of love
You are just so very special
And therefore because of this
I declare today that you can do whatever you wish
As well as tomorrow
And the day after that
Indeed forever
You're the wife, friend and lover par excellence
So this is my gift to you:
I shall endeavor to be better in each and every way
My goal is to make you happy
To share these golden days
To make each day a special one for you
As if it is your birthday
My dear wife gets this today.
