My pipe-dreams were never right
                  should
                                  ­                                                have
            ­                      been
                                      ­                           a
plumber
I’m caught in something
And when I wake up I forget
I forget what it is
This trap that torments me so
Its as if I figured out
The man who stole happiness
And all the things
that brought joy to my life
Only to forget in the morning,
Only to find out again
In a week or two
I just now remembered
And I know tomorrow morning
It will be gone
Please don't let this painful insight
Evaporate in the morning rays
For I can’t understand
what trap this is
when I forget
everything I understood
Shadows on the runway
I'm done.
Half pipe, quarter pipe, leaky pipe
Done.
Free me time from this place I call home
Dance with me in
the stars
That way we will be free together,
time.
Free, you and I for all of time.
I go back in time and hug my little boy self
and pull him away from that all seeing balcony
He was far to young to see that far
Hold him close, please?
Tell him what he needs to hear.
Ask him about lost memories that made me
Take him to the skate park
Buy him some ice cream
Tell him it will be ok
Please handle with care we say
Please handle with care, Mr. Postman
I know you see that sticker all
day every day
But please handle with care
You don't understand our package is
important
We don't care about the rest
I know your numb Mr. Postman
But please
Handle with care
I’m envious of the bee’s
Ability to be.
Their ability to see
So much better then me.
They are born and they live.
They live and they die.
The whole while with only one goal in mind.
Kiss me just one more time
Before I go.
Please never be my parents. Kiss me
Kiss me when I come home, and
Kiss me when we cook
Kiss me when it's inappropriate
Kiss me when I don't want you to
I never felt like anyone had ever kissed me
till you.
So please don't stop
Kiss me one more time
Please don't stop
Tangy lips stained with wine
Taste so good behind the lies
Sublime is the rhyme I feel inside
When I look at those happy guilty eyes
I was driving down a curvy road
And I saw a cross of some fools soul
I didn't know
I saw some road **** as I went by
Well at least they pulled it off to the side

Set fire to your ants with magnifying glasses
Self-immolation a monk turned to ashes
See what you want, it will always seem better
I guess I like the ocean sea better  

My thoughts coagulate and my contemplation thickens
There’s no more catalyst to loosen the tension
But what can I do, for is this not my soul?
What is this existence I am forced to behold?

Well I guess that’s life
At least that’s what I’m told it is
I guess I’ll go to sleep again
And hope things get better within
So close
I love you
I'm so drunk,
But it brings what I want to say
You are my baby
I want to hold you forever
Sunday
I just have to wait till Sunday
God I love you
Walk through the days in haze
Hopeless romantic
Watch me stumble and turn
Fall on the floor
Soon get back up
Why can't moment
Live forever
I live in moment
But I want
Forever
Just one more kiss
Before you go
One more moment
Before none

— The End —
