I am the last and the first
I am the best and the worst
I bridge the gap so you can walk
But I'm not supposed to talk

Can't shake these sins of grandeur
When I don't even know their names
I'll always be cool in your book
But never cruel enough

Stuck in this body-bag of skin
Vegetable smiles and grins
But bones always cast
Darker shadows than the flesh

What flavor is your marrow
How's your flying buttress castle
Is it filled with neon sparrows
Or dancing northern lights

Trip the light fantastic tango
Never be afraid to move
No matter how slow
No matter where you go
Don't want to be stuck
Reaching for the moon

Sorrow is pleasure played in reverse
Thirty-two bucks and a white leather purse
Serious ones have serious foes
Three pretty Mary's all in a row

Preserving oblivion
Friendship's in the past tense
Hallowed hollow strong straw men
Detox your polluted souls
Try to begin again

It's over my head but not out of my mind
Cause I know the real clock doesn't tell time
And you Judas'd me with a Jesus smile
It's never out of my head but always over my mind
Will you ever bring me up to speed?
Cause it's something I desperately need
And maybe I could understand your creed
The blood's different, but we all bleed
The same
And I know I'm to blame
I know
I know, I know nothing but the flame
So every time I light a match
I take a wild guess
You were supposed to be my guest
But you hosted a virus with your head on my chest
And I don't know the rest
I know
I know, I know, I know nothing
Yet.

We live in a world of undigested hatred
We salivate over shadows of malice
We don’t know who or where to turn to
We’re far from milk mountains and the crystal palace
We take baths to drive sadness from our minds
Cause after all, all life is a trial
When we’re awake we’re flooded with fiends
****** impulses sneak into our dreams
Infirmities restrain us from reaching true grace-
Let alone knowing our place
Some tremble at the thought of true praise
But speaking in tongues requires no wage
Light is the king of colors, defeating sinners’ oil
What goes up comes down, just as the victor’s spoils
If you see God, be sure to say hello
And keep some yoke for your wounded halo

Seasons change and flowers die
But that I forget when I see you smile
Friendships end and words can lie
But none of that matters when I’m by your side
Hearts often have shadows that won’t subside
But mine disappear when I look in your eyes
Life is a mystery, often cruel an unkind
But when I’m with you, I don’t have to ask why
Right before you fall asleep, and breathe your last sigh
I thank God for love, and that you’re my guy

On the brink of extinction, we were two hot messes
Swerving out of control
The world just didn’t reciprocate our guesses
As to what should be said, done or sold
Lost in the circus of merchants and wine
We somehow found each other
A reflection of colors changing through time-
Our eyes mirror one another’s
Still society weighs on our shoulders
A heavy burden for lovers, not fighters
But since you came along as the former,
You made the load a little bit lighter
For this I’m forever grateful
Though we battle time and loss
With you, a moment is eternity-
Something divine and not lost
We’re one heart beating
One mouth breathing
One soul searching
And it’s all been worth it

The world is filled with colors
But I only see the blues
The sky is filled with stars
But I only see you
And the future is bleak
For those who seek
Fulfillment in all the wrong places
But between you and me,
The clouds and the sea,
There’s only one face I see
So rock me in your arms
Tell me everything is gonna be alright
Silver and gold for the fools
And our eternal peace at night
Forgive me my mistakes
Forgive me for breaking the rules
Never learned how to love from a teacher
Never learned how to love in school
And the future is nice
For those who roll the dice
And can afford to be let down
But between me and you,
No diamonds or rubies
Could replace what you do
So rock me in your arms
Blow my mind with your soul
Silver and gold for the fools
I’ll take your voice and a lullaby
My heart is like an open vein
Without you I’d go insane
And we’re crazy enough as it is
You and me, the dream, and this
