I like secrets, because they keep me in line What does a sail do when it is stuck at sea At the mercy of those in his seat What does a duckling do When his mother is swept away The tides of yesterday. When I yearn for a connection A true, genuine scrap of something A finger, a hand, a cuddle I can’t think of a single soul A single soul Who could comfort these dark monsters within the cradle of my centre. I miss splendour, I miss thousands of genitals I wish I could look into someone’s eyes And see millions of moments, billions of words All said, all touched, completely on exhibition for me, for us, Mango leaves, dried trees A true, genuine scrap of something Love is an optical illusion I find love at the bottom of my glass, I find fear in an empty bed. Worried sick Horror lulled me into laze Dazes, fades to grey Ashes do not exist Ashes do not exist I am the ash of my own fingertips I am the cigarette-kissed burns on my guns and roses. Flesh, oh flesh That is all that it is. A first kiss.

I like secrets, because they keep me in line What does a sail do when it is stuck at sea At the mercy of those in his seat What does a duckling do When his mother is swept away The tides of yesterday. When I yearn for a connection A true, genuine scrap of something A finger, a hand, a cuddle I can’t think of a single soul A single soul Who could comfort these dark monsters within the cradle of my centre. I miss splendour, I miss thousands of genitals I wish I could look into someone’s eyes And see millions of moments, billions of words All said, all touched, completely on exhibition for me, for us, Mango leaves, dried trees A true, genuine scrap of something Love is an optical illusion I find love at the bottom of my glass, I find fear in an empty bed.
