Start to hyperventilate
No, I’m not seein’ straight
Knees begin to wobble
Cut my brakes, and lock the throttle
I couldn’t stop it if I wanted
Shadowy silhouettes
Make break into sweats
I’ve been dazed and confused
Since the day I met you
I’ve maybe lost my head
Yet, I’d do it all again
Perhaps I’m losing my my mind
There’s just something about you
That’s left me dazed and confused
Something about your eyes
Under certain influence
Unable to walk in straight lines
Build me up and leave me here in ruins
Either I’ve seen the light
Or I’m losing my mind
Just dazed and confused
About a girl or my come and go depression? I don’t know, you tell me.

I talk a lot about Everest
A desire to escape the city
Cause’ people are kind of ******
I don’t think a lot of people would miss me
I still meant every word and I think you’re pretty
So, take me back to when love was real like in the sixties
And, I’ll climb this mountain so, I don’t feel so empty
I guess I’m asking you to wait for a moment my minds not so busy

You keep me swaying
Between being high and sober
Back and forth
Something or nothing
Caught in purgatory
And forever doesn’t seem so far away
Until you get there
Trying to find the best parts of me
Where an angel with black wings
Whispered that it wasn’t going to be free
And I still smell hells smoke on me
I swear it warms what I think
Just might be my soul

The coast always called
On Friday nights side by side you and I
Riding on my bike ready to disappear
There’s bout a million places we could go
Except I’d rather be here
And so, let’s chase these highway lines
Turn off the light and let the city lights
Guide us to where we think we’ll find home
Where, I’m feeling powerless
And, you have all the power over me
I just hope we’re bad enough
That the Devil rejects us

The sun does not hide
And the moon does not cry
As the Earth spins

For they do not belong in the same sky all their lives
They are just too special to be seen as one

So they let each other go
In hopes that someday
She would allow them to meet once more

But only after they realized
That they did not need one another to be special
They did that all on their own
I hope we meet again one day. If not in this life, maybe in another.

Haven't had the words of late
haven't seen the need
Haven't felt the witches brew
Seed the blood to bleed.
Looked about for reason to..
Looked around for cause,
Found the old magneto
Rusted hot in pause.
What a ****** admission,
What a state to be,
Embroiled in incognito's
Lost identity.
Need to alter background
Ditch the one act play
Find blue sky enchantment's
beauty in this way.
Tantiize libido
Rile the juices red,
Haul my suffering woman
Off to ***** bed.
Locate joy in sunshine
Rip the brain to zest,
Electrify libido
Change the word to.....YES!
