Not yet

Sweetheart, what happened to you?
You're far too young to be so old.
Wipe that glitter off your face
and put down that cup
There's plenty of time for you to grow up

Vinyl

There's something about the sound of my father's records that fills me with solace
Putting the needle in the ridge
Hearing it catch the song
The dusty smell of age and sound
And finally the burst of a voice
of a long dead artist
filling the room with a haunted song

Please read this carefully, because I wrote it for you
Know that things are not always as they seem
I am not trying to trick or confuse
Simply trying to understand.
Need I explain more?
To be honest, I don't know if I can, but I'll try!
Be advised, things are not always as they seem
Okay, here's your hint:

one one
two one
three one
four one
five one
six one
seven one
eight one

I still let you

I saw the eyes before the claws
the lips before the teeth
I couldn't understand how such a beautiful creature
could be so rotten underneath.
Did you really think you could hide forever?
Distract me from those hands?
I saw them inching towards me
like a crab across the sands.
I must confess I let you
capture my body and mind
You were a foreign sort of soul
a creature of a different kind

Midnight universe (Paradelle)

Meet me here at midnight, is that too much to ask?
Meet me here at midnight is that too much to ask?
And you and I will explore the darkest corners of the universe
And you and I will explore the darkest corners of the universe

The universe is darkest at midnight.
Meet me here.
I will explore the corners of you
and you will ask too much.

Lake Michigan (etheree)

What?
Sorry.
I missed that.
I was thinking
about the lake and
the way it looks at night
and the way I smell of it
after an afternoon shore-side
and the way you kissed me in the waves
with your salty lips and warm, sandy skin.

The stars are dying (Triolet)

The stars are dying tonight
I can see them fading away
They do not have the same light
The stars are dying tonight
I know they can't keep up this fight.
I root for them every night and day
The stars are dying tonight
I can see them fading away
