I’ll fall in love with every street corner,
I’ll fall madly in love with the sea,
And I’ll think of every grain of sand;
It’s where I need to be.
The only place that lets me breathe,
The only place for me.

Wishing for sleep it’s
Five AM and a train’s going by,
I can hear the tracks rumble,
Wide awake couldn’t tell you why just
Feel it’s only eight or nine.
The air is humid, the weather’s for wine
And I'm quite well, I'm feeling fine I'm
Always a fool for time.

Watching Richy
Sleep and snore and
Stretch his paws.
To him
Time isn’t passing.
This moment’s just lasting.
You get used to the hair.

You make me forget
The great divide
With that ******* smile
From back last December
When for awhile
I needed it, needed this
Needed each forsaken kiss and
All the things I used to miss like
A trip long and winding
When the walls are breathing
The feelings we’re finding are
Right in the moment but
I look away.

Once again
I bit off more than I can chew,
You
And that silly tattoo I’ve got
Nothing to lose
Because I have nothing but
Everything to gain
Just have to get past the shame.

This is not a test;
It’s a sideshow circus job
That pays in time.
If you didn’t know it,
Now you do,
That everything you have been through…
This is not a test;
It’s proof that you’re alive
And reason to bide your time.
But it’s running out,
You shouldn’t even bother,
Because life’s not on our side…
This is not a test.

An itch you cannot scratch,
Gnaws at your flesh
And tears your insides.
A parasite that lingers on
After any hope is gone
Every little exploit dies,
Breeds and lies,
Recaptivates you like a fool,
An everlasting bitter song
Which slays the need to carry on.
