Kindling
Sputters flower essence
On the face
Of the one you love but
Not the one you needed

She said her name
Was rosy but you
Could have sworn
She said she was just feeling a
Wee' bit woozy

Now I don't think
We should all be so smart
And I swear we got rules
But it don't mean we've
Got to act so ****

Just the way you breathe
And the way you seem to me
Makes me think deep down
With some kind of make believe that
We just set ourselves up to be framed

Friends are coming in
Due at the early start of March
I bought the tickets and they
Didn't cost too much but I hope
They remembered to bring the starch

I got names for me and I got
Names for all the likes of you
Some names don't fit so I
Scratch them out and
Start again unless I got things to do'

Push the box off the bridge it
Holds trinkets and things made of tin
Watch it roll down the river to an
Ocean that swears its really say but
You trusted it once but never again

She aches for the troubles she
Put herself in for reasons of worry
And I see her with her hair in a
Mess but this test was inflicted by
A bliss she knows she cannot hurry

Oh' world where would you want me
To go for' I know nothing but the run
Dust covers my face as my soul hovers
Over my shoulder as I smolder with
A heat that lives in the deadliest of guns
