| Do you know what it’s like
|
| When your toys and clothes
|
| Your books and games are lost forever
|
| Burnt by hungry flames?
|
| Touch, Bend
|
| Break, Mend
|
| She could make the flowers grow
|
| Part clouds, wish away the blues
|
| The whole world moves at a different pace than you
|
| Vexed
|
| With 29 years to reassess
|
| Locked in the complex
|
| Dance with the demoness
|
| Listen
|
| You were younger once
|
| Driven like they are now
|
| The world grew teeth
|
| The sky filled with dark clouds
|
| You pulled your heart out and placed it on a scale
|
| For the Ancient of Days to play judge beyond the veil
|
| You were prodigal
|
| Recluse
|
| Vagabond
|
| vert
|
| Bottom feeder, hedonist
|
| World at your finger tips
|
| Dope fiend pusher man
|
| Half man, half amazed
|
| Sky high
|
| Lounging backstage at the masquerade
|
| You wore bravado like chain-mail
|
| Rain fell
|
| City confines became Hell
|
| Train rails stimulate brain cells
|
| To lionize the meek
|
| Young Jezebel’s sucking off the time release
|
| Keep it moving
|
| The muses avoid my phone calls
|
| (you have one new message)
|
| Yes they do
|
| You don’t love me anymore |
| What happened to me and you?
|
| I can’t extract you from my brain
|
| Thank you, thank you
|
| I know a girl that’s got eyes like gems
|
| Touch, Bend
|
| Break, Mend
|
| Sometimes we get lost in abstraction
|
| Exhale the half in these dreams and breath them back in
|
| You want to follow foot steps and gain traction
|
| You want words to become flesh then take action
|
| Anyway you want it
|
| You can make it happen
|
| Exhale the half in these dreams and breath them back in
|
| Kings, Queens, Supreme Beings, and Seedlings
|
| All grow jaded from dog bites and bee stings
|
| My skull’s host to God’s demons and ghost
|
| Remote regions I must not even approach
|
| I search
|
| Bang my head against the wall 'til it bleeds
|
| I take heed
|
| I try to follow her lead
|
| And come to terms with the dual nature of my own mind
|
| Thoughts that grow wings are like canaries in a coal mine
|
| The muses avoid my phone calls
|
| (you have one new message)
|
| Yes they do
|
| You don’t love me anymore
|
| What happened to me and you?
|
| I can’t extract you from my brain
|
| She’s got eyes like gems
|
| Touch, bend |
| Break, mend
|
| I created for myself a creature to tell of a time by
|
| And on the lawns of her tongue
|
| Flowers grew
|
| Sweet scented words
|
| Fell out her mouth
|
| With living birds humming
|
| Alien inside my head
|
| The green love that grew there yesterday
|
| Was dead |
