You're so brand new
You're beyond all compare
I'd face the bayonets in Your honor
Your oneness is godless,
I feel you around me
I'll raise my voice in Your honor
they say its not worth You,
god is the king almighty,
but You are the Protector
over hill and valley
the bombs explode in rejoicing
touch me like You touch the world

change is coming in the form of loving shadow
change is coming in the form of pallid brilliance
change is coming as murmurs into the sleeping ear
writing documents in secret,
secret thoughts and words louder than gunfire,
with quill pen and parchment paper grazing my skin
pulling me in to fight the darkness, I will arise
until the red dawn of Your bright horizon

my god
what kind of god are you
all i wanted was to be your
heaven
all i wanted was to be your
star
how could you lie to me?
you taught me that the stars in the sky were
brilliance
benevolence
all i wanted was to be your
star
but i can see through your lies now
spread across the vastness of the sky stars are
beautiful
but stars are also
alone
they are born
writhing in pain
screaming with fire and fury
and they die
wrapped in shrouds of cold and darkness
out of reach
millions of years away

my god
what kind of god are you

i can see you wanting to ask me why i'm tired
i can see your mouth moving to tell me why i'm not supposed to be
when you get on average four hours of sleep, because work gets in the way

let me just say that i was drifting ,but then
when i laid down i knew it was all wrong
and something inside of me burst into flames
like my bed was an ashen chrysalis and i was a phoenix
turning into something that was cliche beautiful and tragic
(disgusting, i hate it, i'm burning and it hurts my wings)
i was sitting up and laying down, screeching
screaming like no one can hear me as the music in my head
becomes a jet plane roaring, the plane they're leaving me on
soon they tore beyond the stars and i was grounded,
sunken in and i could feel the water move beneath me
taking me away but i couldn't just leave,
my eyes couldn't droop just yet, not until we were reunited
(******* selfish, greedy heart, the rivers cried)
my mind opened the floodgate and there you were
and i wailed for you
and for him
and for her
for the common man and my tortured soul
(not nearly legitimate enough for me to be up at this sorry hour)
i stood to turn on the light and look in the mirror
and all i saw was something etched into my skin
tiny paintings on my airbrushed surface hiding ugly, ugly mountains
so i soothed myself with knowing that soon it would be over
and i brought myself to thinking that i'd be starlight and wonder
but i grew terrified of the void and so there i hid
beneath the cotton sheets in the comforting black
dreaming and exploding, a nova in the darkness until sunlight
when the moon shone lower (but in it i saw no new day)

i can talk only with my eyes, but it will be okay
you can't see the leftover light in them anyway
when it's late we're lonely and afraid

There are two kinds of blond.  Theres the subtle blond, with the dark highlights curling around yellowy strands of hair lain out like grain on a late summer day, baking in the heat of the sun and swaying in the Southern breeze.  Most tale this blond and own it like a miser would their gold.  They just can't let it go, no matter the personal cost, and every time they see it, it takes their breath away.
Not this blond.
This blond got you asking questions.  It's a cloud and a blade all in one.  It's an icy frost piercing through to the warmth underneath your skin.  Its got claws in you now, crawling up your spine, in your back.  Your mind tells you it just cant be real, its too different, too perfect.  But its got the heart in you racing wildly, a roller coaster that ends at reality and starts up again when you announce impossibility.  No way, no way, no way.  The blond of yesterday is today's satin sheets, and you can feel it dragging you closer and closer to bed, that pesky little ******* in your ribs, around your lungs.  Light as feathers you think as you feel yourself floating and falling in rapture in the mystery of it all.  The snow outside's got you questioning if you'll ever see that brightest white again in this storm.  Not this blond.  It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and it's shining right in front of you like bitter cold diamonds.  But **** you think it comforts like a dove. So hope and stay silent, so this get rich quick scheme falls into place, synchronizing with the purest, most blinds white you've ever known.

STEP ONE: IF YOU'RE QUIET, THEN THEY'LL LISTEN
Because we are MUCH too loud these days, aren't we
