#downbeat
When I was enough I caught the downbeat Broke it right, Knew how to run it Just a little bit harder-- Caught it on the upswing, Watched it lose itself, Let it go.

When I was Enough
I woke up one day, the sun had gone away. While the moon was nowhere to be seen. In the growing cold, the ice was gaining ground. While time was growing old. soon there would be no-one to remember what had been. The lines in the distance, join into one. we're heading to the vanishing point. If we disappear; maybe it would be a better difference. Awry this earth's become, frayed by changing fiction. Dreaming of what, once never has been. Sold as a vain token, for an declining return. Fortold by our history. Soon there will be no-one, to tell of what was seen. The lines in the distance, join into one. we're heading to the vanishing point. If we disappear; maybe it would be a better difference.

Vanishing point
Means of production for repetition of an old proposition. More for more's sake, each against each other. All on the take. A fight to be "self-made." So, come,join the staid. Share or care, compassion. All are in America; unmade.

Unmade in America
You think you know until you don't And then it all falls apart Broke, busted and alone Time for a whole 'nother start Pick up all the mangled little pieces Mold them into another shape Smear some love into the creases Pretend there's no escape The places, they are always changin And the view never stays the same Every dripping bit of sin To no avail could it be tamed The itch will devour you entirely Unless you learn how to see With all of your different parts And not just your ******* heart You think you know, but you don't And its all falling apart Broke, busted and alone Time for a whole 'nother start

Crazy for mouth stuff, Crazy for ***** I'm Crazy for ***** Bulge In the throat, or Six wet lips tangling. I'm crazy in general. My eyes trace up your body Til they meet Your eyes in the sky From the ground I love my lowly place Between your feet on my knees

Closing Chapters: "Piety"
The tricks of the self: to confuse and divide, ensnare and impair, to turn the head on the tail. Leaving us all chasing circles, lashing out at phantoms and grasping for dreams. Living our life's through fiction. Against the real, it seems we rail.

The self: consumed.
My mistake was to believe: To believe in human kindness or reason, or that truth is in some way potent. The idea that humanity could make sense, of what the past will portent. To dream that borders would not be barriers to better ways.

Mistake
On the wall where shadows grew; Light lightly refracted though windows. With cups of long cold tea; where appropriate storms swim. By a wall where shadows put on a show. Let slip words aglow, in skins subsurface shimmer. Skip, flip, fall and tumble. To Cracked laminate floors. Spilling those storms out into the world. The Sun boils, flowers and then bows out to a Gray sickle of the night. In this world where shadows know; A little light is all that's needed to nurture the shadow's show.
