End This Summer

Bea came from far away
Her pupils through her eyelids brayed
That star crossed lull
pushed me up against the wall
Kiss of smoke and alcohol
I follow her out
Everybody knows
That breathless “yes, hello”
Cough
Endless summer
Wasting time
Jealous harness
Holds my mind
still feel bad but in a better way
steal the sunshine mine its gonna be fine
watch the ocean rain to come to peace
honest wholesome plain I’m gonna be back
And when I saw you
Stomping through the air
Oh I was falling hard
No better love
No better

Living in a world
Long trashed
beenstripped within
No more second chances
we cashed them out
Pacing through my room
we’re all in our robes
Bracing for the fall
An apology we couldn’t fake
For actions we'll not undertake
And they talk talk talk through their fangs
Talk flapping their wings
Talk, askant their eyes
And they talk talk talk media dreams
Talk bowing their strings
Talk sign of the times
Everyday routine
get up, make it out to work
Steeping in this vapid luxury
When the clock strikes 12 will my heart still be sick within?
Hopelessness, Romance
edited for time
And we talk talk,
talk give me my rights ,
talk put up a fight,
talk give me the might
And we talk
sing like human beings
talk is it obscene
talk living you're life
Catching up on news
Its a constant barrage of nonsense
Boiling over soon I tell myself
And they talk talk talk through their fangs
Talk flapping their wings
Talk, askant their eyes
And they talk talk talk media dreams
Talk bowing their strings
Talk sign of the times
And we talk talk into the night talk no end in sight TALK WERE NOT ALIKE
And we talk sing livin the dream talk is it obscene talk GIVIN YOUR LIFE
and I don’t seem right dont seem right dont seem right at all
(And we’ll talk harangue
And sulk and scream
We can’t agree on anything)

Can I take you with
sift through the night
Ill be a bit of what you like
livin in the thick
I can’t help but try
for every darkness bears a light
Is it so, touch and go?
So I leave
Bad day
Burnin slow
Can’t take
this personal
Am I strengthened?
Ive been losing time
Caught up in it been there a while
Bad day swinging low
Can't take this personal
Wait for a second look
These times are through, we’re cooked
Thing's happen

Tangerine

Bundle of bluebells on your shelf
Pin cushions silks embroidered felts
seashells and rugged gems
serpents with feathered hands
Just decorations for your hilt
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
Won’t you stay?
Cracked charcoal stiff behind your ear
Crown of heather, mother’s fear
Compare me to useful things
Youre always tinkering
With new flirtations insincere
Your yawning silhouette a certainty inspires
your comments pluck and pang like snapped piano wire
Those soft gray slippers mock the chatter of the sidewalk
must I go now that you're tired?
You chuckle softly to yourself
Another trinket for your bored afternoons
Compare me to useful things
The kind you pack away
just out of sight
But still in reach.

Wild Heart

Try and forget yourself
Afraid to more or less lose your head
A tome of tidy years wasted
For the solace of safe
Throw caution to the wind
Be who you ought to have been
No one in the world can tame
Your wild heart
This is real life, you can feel when they fake it
like when you smear your face off after dark
It gets so uncomfortable
dragging that heavy star
How can you stay the same
When all we do is change
you don’t ask
To live fast
Wild heart
Wild heart
So when you go your own way
dont let them poison you with shame-
There’s no condition to
what you set out to do
You dont have to live fast
you're on the run but they're never gonna catch you
Wild Heart

Falling

Falling away
A million pieces
Blink a minute
Watch your life go by
I couldn't change
I took for granted
I was stronger then, I cried
O here she come
Lying awake
Same old feeling
Righteous pause
Of denial
Nothing stays
nothin changes
All that’s left is wondering why?
O Here she comes
gone away
A million faces
Echo shadows
In your eyes
Heaven the place
Your vivid face takes me
With every lonesome day so wild
Oh here she comes
Throw it away
Amazing places
savory instance
locked in eyes
Heaven the place
your filthy tears take
When dueling shadows cross your mind
O here she comes

My Little Ticket
02:18
|

|
What can you do to do?
What can you say that aint been said
I lost someone
I looked away
I guess ill try
Another day
Smoky smile
Been a while
Style I ought to know
files I've longed to close
sweet deep
Where did you go my little ticket away?

Afterglow

Well I once was young and quick man
Now I’ve grown so slow
When every day was just some numb dumb thing
I felt so much more
I know the starry lights shine above
Though they’re not as bright
I loved the dissolute life
But what happened?
I caught a fever
A lightnight flash a thunder roll
I held the heat
Now I’m basking in the afterglow
I’m basking in the afterglow
I didn’t know where I was going
Barely aware just where I’d been
My memory is like an old rot tooth it cracked way back when
I know the starry lights shine above
Though they’re not as bright
I loved the crazy life
But what happened?
I caught a fever
A lightning flash a thunder roll
I held the heat
Now I’m basking in the afterglow

I can’t recall what you said yesterday
The feelings still fresh but words just up went away
My memory reeling
Your candy eyes
I’ve held so much back
I should apologize
Apologize apologize
Brief
Fingers swarm the cascade forms our molten cores
steep
craters gap the face I left behind
Open up your mind
Breeze
Whipping through the windmills of the self I was
Blurred against the landscape of the past
I find the fall outside so cold and drear
Talk about hard times wind whips through your dirty hair
I look at my hands
They’re just as before
But now I’m alone and I can’t
Think anymore
Think anymore
Deep chasms rust your hips throw on that overcoat
Creatures flitting fade the rays we left behind
Is something on your mind?
Reminds me of a dream
Where the landscape rushed so real
And secrets were revealed
And time rolled slow
And tombs unsealed
I cant recall what you wore yesterday
Was I not there or did I look the other way?
A circular feeling
A knot in the sky
I owe so much back I took up all your time
All your time
All your time
Cheap plastic fingernails wrap a closing door
Free to wake up late unmake the bed
Tears splashing gainst a falling horde of humming chords
cruelty, nascent traces kinks I couldn’t mend
Kinks I couldn’t mend
