Lids open with a snap
to thick, almost solid,
streams of  moonlight

In the silver haze,
Black holes peer
from an alabaster face

Complete paralysis
crushes my hope of escape
every skin cell stitched to the sheets

My mind terrified,
my body tingling
with unexpected relaxation

Waves of calm roll
through every muscle
turning me to nothing
feeling as if my bones
have vanished with
the interrupted dream

The swing of a medallion
through beams of static light
My eyes swivel in their sockets
Skinny fingers snap
Everything turns to black

You are me,
can't you see
I am you,
who will you be

It's how it all goes
and how it all flows
you are Poe
and I'm that crow

We are homeless
and sometimes boneless
I was born deaf
A lot of times your name is Jeff

We were everyone on earth
We are everyone at birth

One big chain
But time is differently arranged

Do you remember being me?
I wonder how many I will grow up to be?

Take my hand
and walk to the top
Pick me up
please don't let me drop

Come on
Come inside
Don't mind the smell
my love just died

Wrap your arms
around my neck
Make me believe
I am not just a wreck

Teach me how
to love someone again
Living without you
feels like a dated sin

Tear down the bricks
I can't see over this wall
Piece by piece,
It stands way too ******* tall

Right now, the earth is spinning
way too fast
Slow it down please
let me walk straight at last

I'm shivering
It's way too cold in here
Come build me a fire
and melt away my fear

Lately, I've been feeling
so numb
But the more I think,
I feel mostly dumb.

Follow your heart…
What heart?
The one locked in that box?
Sorry,
I forgot the combination.

I’m keeping it safe
because i’m a pyromaniac.
I am obsessed with your flames.
Dowse me in gasoline and
snap that match

Poison is you,
you and me.
Light that cigarette
and let the nicotine flow,
keep me coming back for more.

I’m trapped down here,
too weak to climb that rope,
too scared.
