Everything is beautiful
So surreal when I'm with you
Press the rose against your lips
I'm spinning out of control
In a better world

Our love was a fire
Burned me away
Her bed was a pyre
Upon which I lay
Scream into the skies
So useless and free
I could feel her body rise
Like the sun beneath me
And we burned forever
Then we burned together
And she smiled
The laughter of winter
When everything dies
Was the look in her eyes
And we burned forever
Then we burned together

Skies are crashing down
Lights are burning out
Who won't hide?
Who won't hide?
It's better than we dreamed
The pieces are changing
Feels like beginning
An entry to the obscene
And all the fear in our hearts
Are coming out of the dark
Crawling over the walls
Howling like the wolves
Skies are crashing down
Lights are burning out
Skies are crashing down
Lights are burning out
Who won't hide?
Who won't hide?

Struggling, I've seen the faces of his.
When?
Where?
Do you, remember?
We've been...
Have I forgotten to leave?
There's a figure still around
Might be trapped
Nostalgia
Matter
A Personal void in a person
Makes prisons that perpetuate
The complacency
Of a presence that barged into lock down
Some say madness
I believe
Can a poison be so personal?
Blackened veins controlling fingers
Manipulating speech
A motion of sludge left behind
The man still sits, and I know
He will visit
During moments most weakest
A presence, an aura devours
All absences
What was felt?
I've never seen him run
Quietly weaving a quilt, speaking of quitting
Speaking of unquenched sanity
Ability to never leave
His wooden throne still rots, continues support
From a past that's between an inbetween
I know the chair hurts
Even splinters mourn
The pain of stale air makes brittle tears
Feel like a healthy balance
But it's not
I don't know how to help a window feel
Rejection because he gazes into a white pane
A nice contrast
To find an end
To bring an upright shell, back to life
He once talked of some logic
That seems illegible
Saving another for a gain that's whole
Felt like death itself
But, he pulled through it
Found a justification for his
Dead words
It confused his whole town
The good and the bad folk left
But he sits in his own pain
A destiny of sorts
Always anticipating
Bound, broken
Calm, claiming
Exasperated effervescence
Feeling fumed
Gritting grand
Homelessness humorless
Ideas, irritating
Jagged, jaded
King less kinship
Lathered, listless
Maybe managed?
No. Never
Once one
Perplexing, preventative
Questionable quibble
Resurfacing rants
Same situation
Tired tried
Unsorted unity
Vocal variations
Wallowing with
Xanthone, xylyls
Zoning zealot
Rambling and understanding
A man's feelings
In wordless emotions
But I know he will stay
Until he can face the splintered world around
And clear a space for cleaner air and piece back
His half with a Remainder
Evaluate
The answer sits

This Is Love

Why can't I see clearly
When I know you're near me?
Is this love?
I can't tell
Were you sent from above?
Am I in hell?

What happens when I
Close my eyes?
Do I find a beautiful dream
Or do I fall asleep?
I don't know
But I hope that I'll wake up
And make reality
Better than shit
I guess there's a way
But would I remember?
Kick down the door
Tear it all
Guns, bombs, steel
Last weeks bills
Strangle me
End myself
Afraid to try
Lets it go
Bad news shared
Keeps you scared
One way street
It's misery
You can't wake up
The light is broken now
What happens when I
Close my eyes?
Do I dream of a paradise
Or does someone turn off the lights?
Well, I don't know
But I hope I don't wake up
As someone who I despise
Or with four legs
I guess there's a way
But will I remember?
I better lock the door first
Someone could steal my idea
Will I do it with a plastic bag
Or should I use this knife?
Maybe I can take some pills
Or just wait for this month's bills
Oh well, maybe I'm just
Too much of a coward
I heard something in the basement
I better go see what it is
I was walking then I stopped
My shoelaces seem to be untied
I accidentally missed my step
The light appears to be broken now

Sun blazing in my eyes
Doin' 90 miles an hour
Ghosts burnin' in my mind
Now I can turn back
No I can't turn back
Stringing me along in eruption
They're singing one and all together in silence
Sing us a song of sin
Bring back the big sin
Driving the transcendental ghosts of you

Eyes Closed

There's a radio on
It plays a lonely song
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
You're standing on a ledge
Could jump right over the edge
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
You can't pretend any more you're not crying
'Cause there's a dream in your heart that is dying
And for all these years you've been trying
Just close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
This is forever

Soft grey and violet
(Push it in)
Why are you so quiet?
(Under the skin)
Who will stop the screaming?
Baby are you dreaming?
(Warmer, warmer)
(Deeper, deeper)
Silver burn, black night
Wrap the babies in white
Dull away the screaming
Now there's only dreaming
(Colder, colder)
(Deeper, deeper)
Blue eyes, bloodshot veins
Cold and grey, cold and grey
What will it take to kill the pain?
White on white won't look so strange

Islands

We are all islands
So they say
But, I don't think it's true
No, I don't think it's true
Something about me and you
The dots are disconnected
But part of a whole
When they die we'll all smile
Just a little more
Unjust sycophants
Presuming pretense
Usury compliance
Public consents
We are all islands
