The flower never grows
Without the rain
Maybe its just a summer mist
Maybe its a hurricane
it's all the same
The flower never grows
Without the rain
And all my grey clouds
Turned to black
And brought raindrops
Only in lightning
Its all the same
I was begging for your water
However it came
Quench my thirst
Or make me drown
I will be happy
I was only waiting on the rain

The clouds have opened up
I'm growing now

I have died before

There is a way I die into your arms
That is different from the way I have died before
I have died before
The taste of poison on my lips
The surge of poison in my veins
The poison I eat
I have died before
Fifty miles per hour into a tree
Because I took my hands off the wheel
When I saw dangerous corners
There is a way I die into your eyes
That makes me want to see
What life could be
It makes me want to live

i wish

I wish I had six fingers
I wish I had three hands
I wish I had two heads
One that had a beard
Just so my physical appearance would show
What kind of freak I am
I wish I didn't have a soul
So I could be unaffected by the world we know
And
Its sickness

Come To Me

I watched you come
Come to me
Knowing you would leave
Still I loved you
I love you still
I watched you come
Come to me
Saturated bed sheets
And my hands
Like you never felt before
I saw truth in yours eyes when you spoke my name
I felt truth
I knew the end
I watched you come
Come to me
Great ocean spread wide
You know you touched me
I feel it now

The Places I Have Slept Before

I'd like to forget
          The places I have slept
                     Before
But....
There is a way
            The things you've seen become
                      Who you are

I don't feel the pain anymore
But I still bare the scars
I carry them with me where ever I go
And my hands are empty

I haven't left this parking lot for three whole days
I'm leaving now
Leaving part of me there

I'd like to forget
           The places I have slept
                      Before
But.....

The places can't forget me

I was only hoping

I take it all
And throw it all away
I could be the change
That never could save me
I was only hoping.....
I will run
Hammers in my hands
I will
Take it all and throw it all away
I was only hoping I could know what love is
Before the end of the world

Scars
I was hoping I could find the reason
For these scars

I was living
While I was alive
I knew I only have a short time

Hammers in my hands
A name
And scars
Scars above her eye
Her sacred name
Her holy scars
The way she sees me
I was only hoping

I was only hoping I could know how love feels
Before I felt the end

I Place The Sky On A Shelf

I place the sky on a shelf
Glass lightning birdsong
My ears dont find your name in the wind
And there is no face
I can't forget the cloud
The sharpened silver-lining

How many times will I become a wall?
A kitchen sink
A holy symbol
I can't turn away from the bottle
Until I am the air you breathe
I place the sky on a shelf
And know it will always be there if I need it

I place the sea inside a box
Ceramic razor shark teeth
My eyes have seen better days
And different oceans
I can't forget the wave
The way it crushed me under

Your stay awake for me at the edge of the world
Porcelain skin
Churning breath
I can't turn away from the seed
Until I am water once again
I place the sea inside a box
And wait
