In the care of warmth
I lost the tarnished nature
jagged spittle
Black snakes writhing
The Doom ov virtue
This care wears me down
Softening the edges of
My brittle soul.
Chasing affection like a child,
Weakened by a state of want.
I am not this
Just a form that flows —
Adrift on chaos limb.

Only in the cover of darkness
I am in your dreams
When the house sleeps
You see me

When the sun rises;

House is awakened
I am again
Out of your dreams
A faint memory
Only shadows on the wall

Free yourself from hesitation
Relax and let go of complication
There's no need for negativity
There's no reason to be upset

I offer you peace
Forget yourself in me
And drown in the calm

Wrapping you within my arms
I mean no harm
With me you will find sanctuary
I know you're fed up and wary
I can understand where you're coming from

Don't shy away from the mirror
I'll swallow your fear
And dry your tears
I'll always be here

Believe me
Keep the faith for a better day
Stay with me and hold my hand
We'll reach a better day together

The very young
like to believe
they will paint
their own lives.

To some degree,
this is true.

But many
loving hands
will touch
the brush

before the canvas
stands complete.
One sixteen has rolled around and I've rolled out of bed and taken a hot bath and dressed, stopping occasionally to read another paragraph of This Side of Paradise, and my breakfast is being made.

Elliott Smith's XO is playing.

The sweetness of life is crystal clear right now.

I'll need my friends today.  There is something to do.  

A first rehearsal with my lead guitarist, Sarah, at five.  Then we'll likely take it to an open mic.  Cash is low, we'll find a way to get high.  Then we're gonna give it to the crowd.  Chandelier.

Be humble, you
are mortal flesh.
Be noble, you
own a brave heart.
Be joyful, you
have tasted the
sweetness of love.
Enjoy your life,
it is the vessel
that contains
these wonders.
