slower dawn

your skin once starred down the sun,
each failings i respond, this can't ever turn your head,
a desperate jealousy keeps me undone,
bound to your boredom, you will never forget.

the things i abuse, the things that could be the dreams you reject,
a magnificent gravestone stood proud at your door,
ways not to apologize, and ask you to mend all the pieces,
and this is why they let you love them.

a shard of plaster peeled back as your mother held you back,
take out your windows, waste not the things you regret,
wont tear you apart like the way you taught me to,
how good you must feel to be worse off being free.

away

it's either in your place,
to be greater here than you'll let me be,
if only to try to survive,
this is the only part to be inside without you.

somewhere, some were, some how,
stray away like smoke, disappear my heart,
alone with the only kind of mankind,
a localized mistaken misery with you.

shards of place.

a special one, that never stood at all,
see that you remain the vagabond ,
an old image of your lips, the warn leather luggage,
Worlds, and even this distance, is known.
it's time to sleep, One, two, they're all over now,
same days, and each just to see you,
you can see that these reasons persuade my mind,
I would, and to need,that no matter where, I will
seems so obvious to me, that in this moment,
a game is just a system of controlled mistakes,
take on, flaked out,
this inner consequence, and share my mind,
and i do, like this i do,
through every movement, through true,
given even to this position,
a state to play with suspicion,
take, and true, yes, -i do!
can't you see, I'm the only one that see's it's here,
waking up from that place you put me in,
i'm still tired, we've been passed over too long,
rtaught you everything i ever needed you to see me as,
and will, for you, - when this time repeats.
but when ahead, instead, you're in them now,
i want, and to will, myself, inside the same time as you.
the size of one number,
keeps our movements alive,
roll over, turn over, I let you stray the whole night long,
but when i need you, all i have, in mine,
so hard not to fall apart, passenger passport,
and I'm just the same.
Stop, grateful seasons, and my own kind of place,
shutter winds, and to stand to think how,
you can ask just why that is,
a suffering new one, just the same as your sisters cage,

peaches

i look up to the stain in the floor boards where you kept your friends under toe,
you want me here but i cant fall through your hair,
eat at the window, covered in leeches,
a loom filled with mirrors,
same day seasonal, somehow its reasonable,
to come find your feather again, bitter strikes the window frame,
blue whiskey reason, talking straight at the thought of you,
but i float past your hero, a tramp like a telephone pole,
breakwater wisdom, stainless gaze, broken by the life you once knew,
and when the shutters draw you in, but the light make her drown you,
you're the reason she learned to fall.

ocean

stained mirror, balloon filled nightmares,
picks through my mind, with the sourness i prevail,
hoped dreams drag me to you, faked out finger lips,
there's no prison like home,
nightingale issues my misery with a picture of you,
still it's ok to lose.

market maze, molecular haze,
there's still no room to move,
evening romance, this hovers above the water,
wake bruises you, shudder inside you lime.
breakwater backwash, the monsoon makes you to soon.

picture frame, silent movie star,
you're in here for the interview, it's all the same,
passenger paupers priest, mine is making you sick,
your broken heart is finally fixed, and i do see where you fit.

let me leave

passin' the rules along,
when you set me down i'll still be free,
the morning lasts til noon,
many stones placed by sorrow,
thats not how i taught you to steal,

not looking for some kind of favor,
you know mine stays through,
the shore unsure, the stains i'm drowning from,
I'll scratch out a new word in the kitchen floor,
these things we can't untie,

I'd rather make some gumbo

dont know where you go

love to stay the night all day,
my only kind of poor heart,
never makes me pass the time,
a good life press or pray,

though my ticket lasts only til noon,
but tonight, the covers stay cold,
a stranger tried to keep you,
is there any body left on the moon,

you came down like a stone,
can still hear the whistle blowing,
make over, hung over, the last time i ever want to love you,
it suits me lady,
if there's anyone left outside your room,
i'd be letting go too soon,
keep you dying here on my own.

stutter

makes me well to see you full,
a lone full dagger limbers across your tongue,
like a bird drowning in its flesh,
you look to the sun, just to lose your mind.

A mystery gift, sailing setting sound,
gave you a letter to hide,
main stage, brought you back home, to heal my frail,
you're a dinosaur now, no one wants to feed you.

Lines me up with his finger,
you're not the boy i'm looking for, what happened to my son?
a Little bit crazy now, he says,
a railway mishap, some creature with a gun.

sanitation

you feel when this tragic mystery unfolds through,
coming home to find out you're undone,
beauty resembled the anger you left here for,
even after looking at the condensation on her brow,
it wasn't yours to own.

she's with him now, blessed breach,
the willow leaves against the stream,
another slotted spoon soon to be arranged,
comfort the taste, a memory of how you learnt to speak,
blacked out laser beams.

homesick

not looking to live out you,
these friends and mine,
don't want to fight you down to this,
baby we've been outside through,
can't define you, you remind me,
slay you lone, finalise this further grew,
me I'm potent, i don't matter cos I told you knew,
evening system sucks me down to see you in,
lounge you wake, suffer you to see me break.

rain in the fireplace, I'd lose everything you'd ever free me from,
turn way from my only limb,
can't set you free, this is the only union i have,
let me go, take me back to the river,
sleep me here, break my fingers,
just to keep me from coming home.

you felt me fall out of your hands,
make me something outside of chance.

mule

when the breeze took off with your mood,
waterfall shrug wasted in exile,
stains of crimson and blue,
evening stanza,
I'm on my way back home,
you breathe way too hard,
adored, wont last long,
feels like coming undone,
i was still waiting for food,
this wistfulness's is your fault,
never had anything to prove,
last time you went first,
found your hero on the 75,
underground,
each day goes through,
moon time propaganda,
shake free,
these childs dialed,
untied lingering on,
those chains you left here before,
my fingers bruised you,
eyes awkwardness,
crawling decision,
break down, bring on the feast,
slovenly, i will not say why,
conditioned to breathe you,
they wont be able to hear you,
wont even be mahoganey,
take me under your skin,
serenity grasps at the floorboard,
this is the sin we're both in,
never thought you could break that way,
impression
all that i needed is what you stole from me.

out of bounds

still this silver steels me,
do this for me now, and take look out, scout,
a new slice of mud has arrived,
slow moving and it will still be here when we get back home,
flavor mourns your mouth, struck down,
burst your shelter, beaten down by a somber heartbeat,
southbound on a staircase getting drunk,
often eat your flesh just to know what you think,
my fingertips sweetened by your bitterness,
come on down to the valley, and bury your sugar in the dirt,
separation from your skin, i'll lose everything,
hanging by heart-strings, swing across the river,
born above out terrible union, shrank,
these are the best ways to be apart,
just show me your moonbeams, and I'll dare you to let go,
make me a crown to forget you with and i will,
this is no goodbye, every rotten piece of wood,
welcome me down into ended never,
the sand takes your wrinkles, train wreak you saw coming,
and in the way of something else,
standing still and shining out in front of your window,
stay amongst the thorns,
you chose to make my bed out of maggots,
every town is the same,
this is not a heart attack is just a turn,
I'm better off this way, always was
sensitive, even under your storm,
senseless sugar pills,
white wine vinegar, locked
chills stranded in the sun,
forgotten and left for garden prey.

salt

merry bonds, boundless,
even when you're tired, held you down,
if we wont get out of here, I'm a,
send you down the satellite, sober clown,
never saw you coming home, stuck inside this coma,
can't you see that i told you it would hurt you,
these are not the fingertips, just the strings,
help you regrow your hair, who said it has to be yours?
don't look away you'll miss the best part of me,
can't douse this liberty, stumble, salinity,
hollow, these are the words of Mad boy Merry-go away,
down near the river, come away from the stones,
their just where the bones lay, wanna tell you how to scheme,
bottled bather, alone she lets me know,
calm down, fill your words with the sea,
gonna take you down,
overcome with you, oh yeah, remember this,
an ocean of guilty, inside your city,
listen, these are not organs,
i pity how you love me, don't you wish you'd stayed back home,
stains me to think of how you'd let me know,
and likewise left me alone,
strangled under the cover of your heart,
can't take you under, this is not where you learn to swim.

primate

let me be your brave new savage,
exile, natures experience claims you, gimmick,
lap dance, peep show, great value, a formidable product,
individual, suspect selected, infective, defective,
all this reasoning undone, forgot to work it out,
your clothes wake this prison, approachable fixture,
standard, correct again, I hate your voice, lovable virgin,
eligible reliable, fake elusive, rounded, uncovered,
devour pestilence, amour, assault,
be your elegant lover, stranded beauty,
your sour taste to drown me undertow,
no need for commitment, backwash,
flexibility, struggle, leather,
retarded, draped in feathers,
soaked in intentions.

black snow

make mine a geometric,
alerted dragon taste,
chiseled variants of hangovers,
drunken makers, a little keep sake,
a healthy bass line, silent jazz reversals,
feasted, fable, listening to creatures sneezing,
misunderstandings,
stood below the window, til your home,
wait in the hallway so you can come home,
relax, open the door, maybe a little sooner than allowed,
I'm not saying it was eatable,
come home, get out!
someone sleeping in my head,
locals underfoot, fleeting singing, you're a super star,
covered in my experimental blue,
still tastes like snow,
hold on, let it go off, forget it right now,
situation presented,
veil to improve you,
microscopic nightmares, motorbike love maker, hell raiser,
digit's covered in you, nowhere inside of you,
leftovers,
take out the rhetoricals.

twice the half

everything you ask of me, is only to keep me yours,
deeper than the sky, sullen, awake this heart shaped emptyness,
a little shore, floating in the wake, a bubble,
ship shape, time wasting
eat this skin, not even you could hold back,
bleeding fingertips, lips, every single bone,
into a wet recovery,
hold you down, make you listen baby,
i'm here but i'm not yours i'm not even a part of me,
try distance your tears, level headed, push back,
slide this fortification, slump,
think you could tender yourself,
just to sink these things for me,

reason control

this blessing of lies, untold oblivion,
this fragile skin cocoons me, a little more backbone,
after all we said we'd been through, i told you i wasn't strong enough to keep you,
my only everything, the last starting point,
i get it, i get it, i understand, it was all you could forgive,
it was all i ever could steal,
the only thing i could sow,
was meant to be a fool, but this beast has created itself,
now.
thats all i get, thats what i gave you, solid, sunken,
a shrunken head reminder, blame it on the window being open,
it's not the only thing that makes the wind blow across the floor,
nothing quiet, like the things inside my head,
this is the only time i am sure the systems out of control,
oil spill, satin shards, everything i need to leave behind,
just want to drown you the way you held me under.

time

your old hero, passive, a fool inside the polar,
solid, sudden anger keeps my sleep endangered,
prone to be your victim again, still need this,
sunk into a sodden love nest, flavor modesty,
meltdown, makeover, lips and hips haunt these fingertips,
false alarm, lavish loneliness, they don't say those things on television,
lie to me, tell me it's over, open depression, keep cool, vacant, jury leftovers,
seldom sciences underlies these feelings of loathing hunger, kill this!
taught me to underestimate myself,
salt to my wounds, fledgling harlot ,
elevate this harlequin, I'm still your fool,
even from the ends of influence,
the coma doubles my nightmares,
your man, restless in the breeze, stumble across the wind, poised, unfaithful,
a lot like a woman.

summer storm

hidden in your wolves veto, unplugged,
somber, sullen, shrewd, uncover my feet,
bathes in your milky eggshells, honey for your midnight,
all i did was open up a bottle of mistakes,
it's a joke, i told you tomorrow would be hot,
call off your whimpering welcomes, wake into a wet weaknesses,
the sun breaks my windows breach, sounds like winter,
breeze through your draws, i learnt your way to walk,
you still look like a fool to me.

unemployable

drunk, sooner i'm out, leave you pass out's to breakfast,
way too sober to fall into you this time, i'll pretend, fake fuck you,
leave you to share the left side of the bed,
sleep in a while, just at noon wake into this empty room,
monsoon, balloon, turning into the matchmaker,
drown you just so you'll see i'm drowning too,
this time things will be different, water mark,
manic piano, a polar bear dresses himself,
cold afternoons leave me liberal,
like a freshly rolled cigarette burns hot evenings,
stay in bed to give you wet mornings, hunter,
leave this song to bed, stupid music machine, time to eventuate,
crawling inside Escher's house, trying to get to you outside,
motorcycle miracle, drown rats in cardigans,
turn off the radio it's late, this woman's gonna kill me soon,
broke, pockets filled with oven mitts,
your mother paid all your bills, just so you could get drunk for a while,
just like your sister, another to share his pillow,
not your fault, this baby's gotta break sometime,
now i think of it, it is your fault.
