I am still hesitating
I tend to stare when I’m waiting
Rejoice and sing for the lost boys
Take it easy you all made the right choice
Get closer to the machine now
Expedite and rush through the dream now
Explode, claim the treasure
You thought the past would get better
No more come and go meetings
Same sad story and same old greeting
Bless the sound and just continue bleeding
Open house the faces are fleeting  
I know, things were bitter
Art of the craft without any glitter
Control forgot to be an option
Close the gap and put it up for adoption
I can’t have the only thing that wants me
Does that mean that I cant be happy

Happy, I am saved

I get creative when the snow falls
Manifest desire for the rag dolls
The seriousness of tomorrow
I just shrug it off as time borrowed
It’s not much but I’m liking where I learned to stand
On this bright northern piece of land, and
All the while it’s trial by creatures
Two kids underneath the bleachers
I can’t speak, I’m afraid to lose my voice
I just wish I could learn make a noise
Every time I’m so straight to the point
But my life is to new to exploit, and furthermore
We both know that it’s time for bed
But there are too many thoughts running through my head  
Like I’m happy that you and I both shall live
God knows it’s all we could give
Yeah the future is cool and the past is dead
But you wish it were me instead

Happy, I am saved

Have we been introduced
I’m the ******* kid
We met on the screens
Do you remember the screens?
Do you remember me?
I’m beneath the skin of the lid
I’m the one who never screams
Do you remember the screams?
Do you remember me?
I’m the losing bid
I’m gnawing at the seams  
Do you remember the seams?
Do you remember me?
Seems to me
Paul Rousseau Nov 2012
Are you needed at all?
Dung beetle needn’t stall
Make haste to your quarters
Not needed at all.
Are you producing at all?
Your sister needn’t call
Your choice of words is merely
Cause for her to fall.
Are you human after all?
The family’s income needn’t stall
Make haste to your death dear
Not needed at all.
Paul Rousseau Nov 2012
Now that I’ve seen the phases
Seen the faces
Of the sun
Now that I am lifeless
I fight this
Heaven I don’t know
Now I know I don’t know better
So go get her
Like I should
Now I’ll go and reach our savior
Behavior
And some nicotine

What we learn we must remember
Dismember what
We loosely hold to hate
As a kid I held up ceilings
While believing  
Success was worth my fate
Now I know my head was cycling
It’s frightening
Paranoid in present day
Now I know just what my life was
It was the right one
And all I did was live
Paul Rousseau Aug 2012
And so it seems I sleep with the enemy 
We walk in propetual summers glow
And so it seems I'm somewhat ahead of me
The world has still yet to know 
Of calm the sea and Hades wreath 
Wild followers of goat skinned sweets 
Claim the bow to complex and scowl 
To side with such Trojans or companion Greeks?
Paul Rousseau Aug 2012
The empty calories are all full of rage as
My double-edged pen cut dinosaur days with
Little bow peep and that chick from down the street
Both swallowed the fluid keeping the cosmic egg clean
Paul Rousseau Aug 2012
Somehow I have ended up-
On the island of the snow

When the light hits we-
Will watch the bodied waters grow

Some have come to sing the aid of cosmic egg you surely must have known
Busy, empty, queen bee gave us nectar harvest words a choice to go
