We're drawn in here to burn together
in a world of tattered threads
one joining point of our whole pasts
is where we dare to tread

In minutes or in days
There is no way not to know
we have an expiration date
So soon we'll be alone

For a life is full of many loves
As humans ought to have
No one man is his own island
Lest he himself is mad

As our threads twist
and we take this risk
although we both know better
we find our niche
to build conflict
and pretend we have a tether

We twist and turn around each other
and around each others necks
We twist and turn and tie a knot
that will lead us to the death

Of what we thought was beauty
but didn't really know
That what we thought was passion
was fleeting, screaming, "Go!"

And of course we went
we left so fast
that no one knew the better
we went with a whim
In bounds on a limb
Though people said "we shouldn't let her

go out and make this awful choice,
we know that she'll get lost.
For we all know she'll lose her voice
and waste effort all for naught."

And yes! they know me
all to well
And yes! Of course
my heart did swell
And yes! I did
I gave too much
And yes! It never
was enough

And yes!
I trusted you too much
Of course!
I gave you all of my love

I have none left
for myself
I have none left
for anyone else

Slick streets
and your slicked back hair
in the merry mid Monday moon

The blacktop breathes
as the grass overwhelms it
While we sing our sad solemn tune

yeah we're alone alright,
But we're always amazing
we're never changing

sorry
stand still
Tilt your head, this way
You're quite the thrill

try not waiting
you're only wasting
every waking moment we have

well who is there
when you're alone
with me

Electric veins
and your static touch
synthetic sutures take time
open up

While floor boards scream
of secrets they can't keep
I thought I could at least
trust them

but the rain beats down
on this roof of tin now
harder than it ever has

and my tongue sticks
to the roof of my mouth
as I wave farewell

To the flowers of March
To the jade grass of June
To the amber of October
most of all to you
Please come back soon

we can have silence for a moment
but not of the sort I dream
we exchange breath for a moment
in the senseless sense I mean

thoughts don't enter
They only escape
our mouths exchanging
landscapes
soon forget

sprawling our lives
under lock and key
so everyone knows that no one knows
we are our own remedy

To our own poison
That doesn't hurt
That keeps us bound
To freedom To earth

The ground beneath us
Crumbles to pieces

Left we are wishing
that it were as easy
as another fish in
the sea

Giving it all
we ever saw coming
Throwing our fall
To spring

Wrenching it back
within our possession
all we need to let go
Give back
my hand
my heart
and go

We know how to bend gravity

we levitate with pride

Controlling our own brevity

We've learned how to survive



Reaching for the next hand hold

or place to perch a foot

Bashing knees

our elbows bleed

satisfied with the smallest of nook.



We Grasp our dreams

We Can't fall short

In this self discovering sport



Strengthening Pride Within ourselves

Needless to Hide enclosed in shells



Reaching out is all we need

For at the top we feel

That no mere problem is anything

The perspective of the real.
