If I promised to you that these eyes are for you,
a heart beating true to rhythms of Blue.
No pain will come near you, my dear, rest assured,
               my congress, my lady, I give you my word.
I’ll take the opal bullets with your caricature name, and
I’ll catch your all tears from the Autumn Diamond Rain.
We can send the Summer to the stone age in a trance
I can’t promise forever but I’ll promise I’ll take a chance.

I was wishing without a scepter,
and the lightning struck my face.
Bones melting from your brilliance,
heart shattered by your grace.

You chose to wed a malcontent
for reasons known to Dogs.
I never knew the glow of love
Could shine so brightly through the fog.

This dusty dawn died slowly
While typewriters typed nights away,
but when you gamble all your love
that's the price that must be payed.

Standing on shores with a sunset so brilliant;
setting up camp in the sands.
I'll burn the bonfire till your name catches flame
I don't know what I did, but I feel so ashamed.

Why lie to a person so enthralled in your thought,
            just lead them on a noose to a cliff.
The stool is not broken so just give it a kick,
and I'll tumble on down to the waters.

I walked into town after sand became glass,
and I conversed with a mad bartender.
He said, "son, listen here.  don't waste your time with beer,
'cause you're caught just like a deer in a storm."
I said to him, "man, just give me your nastiest poison
I'm lookin' to nullify these neurons."
He filled up glass fast with a laugh and like that
I was knocked on my *** like a child.

The storms came in, not too long after;
a maelstrom of vicious intent.
But suddenly light broke,
I was soon filled with laughter.
The past is nothing but a joke.

Nature teaches girls to die
at the hands of tiny devils.
She cannot see you with those eyes;
washing mind with dust and gravel.

Raised not by wolves, but in
plastic neighborhood next to
polyphene barbies
holding hands.

Behind locked doors
in humidity, Steven
tried his luck with a
nose-full of buckshot;
Poor ****** lost.

"No more!" She said to trees
knocking her knees
against gypsum diamond.
Nodding to the sun now
with teeth chewing gun gum.
