The stars are out tonight and I have left my window open.
Can you come take me away?
I’ll wear that blue dress and we can fly through forever.
Sit on the clock, that keeps on ticking.
Laugh in its face.
We can lounge on the clouds
and board ships we have never seen.
We won’t ever have to worry
I don’t have to grow up,
or ever be alone.
I’m good company.
Swear.

Because frankly Peter,
that clock’s hands are moving a little faster than I would like.

And I have never been flying.

I saw you fly away today
A brief tinge of pain
Then release
Cause in my crowded mind
I sought relief
I fought to constantly
Crawl out from underneath
Shoulders aching heavy
Like some demon had me
On its leash
But I heard you fly away today
And now I know
That love's too cheap a word and
All the talk and proverbs
Don't do you justice
When weighed against
Their lies
Disguised as trust
The one thing that doesn't hurt
Is the one thing that scars the most
Advice from them
Bad luck to me
Good instinct
Is a luxury
Sell you down a river
For some stasis in bad company
Ready to meet your maker
And they close you off from the sea
But I felt you fly away today
Your quills filled
The ashes of my brain
For the first time
I truly feel safe
Can tell the sterling
From the grey
A real reflection's
Underway

Just looking before I leap,
Musing with my lone self deep:

Betwixt her gracious sweet lips
And her honeyed graceful hips,
Which should I first of jolly take
That will not my gay heart break?

Halt, take in the flower-fyrd whose faces gaze above.
        For God doth formed these instruments,
                His glory from below, a friendly fere  of His free-love.
Colours abound and smells ablaze, coddled carefully by sovereign grace,
        Created in over-many shades, creation requests contemplation,
                God receive praise from our glory-bound place.

Flee to the forest and walk in wonder
        Dew-flavored florae that arise from thunder.
God of Glory, we alms-guests  seek,
        Only to find in mast-lands  so meek.
Blest by back-woods, expansive, brave, and blazoned above
        Humble inscription inciting and inflaming the in-carnation of love.

An endless, coarse rain --
   here, now --
yet, another time,
   another place,
the sun reigned upon
our world...
it was brief and it was
   brittle --
we did not know...
did not choose to think
beyond what was then
our "here and now":
no rules, ro rhyme,
   nor reason.
We thought we would
never end --
   or did we really
   think?
We believed the dream
we dreamed;
our web painstakingly
   spun.
Dew drops shone
on slender threads,
like diamond-fire...
yet, as the dew fades
   past dawn,
our world vanished
before our eyes --
slipping through
our finghertips --
lost beyond our grasp.
And so, this day --
   here, now --
we settle for the rain
to wash away the grief,
wash away the sin --
   (no promises made) --
to quickly, mercifully
wash  our memories away.

The way the sun
is coming up over the city
is big and yellow
   and vapid.
The city shimmers;
streets of diamond-dust.
(Wings flutter,
   angel wings).
Glass pyramids
glisten on the back
of the sleeping serpent
that sprawls along
the water's edge.

They’re gonna **** you
Yeah, they’re gonna maim you
All cause they couldn’t tame you
Gauging your future
From a grudge of the past
You only know this
Cause it takes other people
To really put you in hell
Yeah, they don’t know the half of it
They only know the before-it
They don’t know the after-it
Yeah, they don’t know the half of it
But the last laugh is always a guess
Cause everybody dies
Even the vampires and the pines
Even the lies, eventually
Yeah, in the end
They’ll be choking on your blood
Regurgitate, throw up
Shove it back down
Again an again
As they stare at your smiling picture
Then they’ll know
Yeah, they’ll know
What it means to be you
Like Blake said
Just cause you smile
Don’t mean you’re not rotting inside
From the heartside-out
