Overrun the clock
No more 305 cruising
The interstate was blocked
By smoke too thick to see
When the forest hits the fire,
There’s no gasp
Just an empty amphitheater
An empty ampitheater
An empty emphitheater
An empty theater, empty theater.
Where is the crowd?
I have been right here.
I dreamt of family
You promised us these better things
There’s no more chance to fall in love
Not for me
I’ll just keep on walking
The day the Earth was scorched
the silver lake showed the gemini-white-flag
sewn together by
my thousand friends
who did warn me about you

You’re a victim,
Though a future seer
Who can look up,
Sing morals up and down.
But you cannot breathe in the nighttime,
You cannot breathe in the day
Your eyes scream, “make me alive”.
Yearn to tease out the sadness
So it won’t flicker in the madness of your
Darkest every day.
You believe in it,
but it won’t get you better at all
It slides like ash to ignite your veins.
You have me
You have me
Trust me on this one
Trust me on this, love.
Yearn.
Yearn to tease out.
[You wreck it every time I got it off
You pull me in and that’s a sign that’s toxic love.]
So it won’t, won’t flicker in the madness
So [Is it enough to want to make this right?]
It won’t [when you emasculate the operation signal]
Won’t flicker in the madness [the stop light would only start to beep when I’m around]
So [but you still confuse the optimizing vitals]
it won’t [I need, I can lead but you keep the truth from me]
Won’t flicker in the madness
Of your darkest every, every, every, every, every, every day.

Itch

Where are you now?
You’re pulled away but I’m still pulled to you
Your gravity is soft
Mine is centrifugal
Hangs onto someone hanging on to you
Who can’t love fast enough
I would help it if I could
Make the Itch less sharp and cruel
What were elastic ties
Had become velcro connection our shoulders
This flimsy adhesion,
A trust that neither one would want to stray too far.
But when we breathe rebirth
In springtime air,
Our lungs expand so wide to pull the fastener away.
My body won’t stand to be ignored
Though we were so original
Apologize is not resolved
No return to my guardian embrace.
This Itch at last will be forgot
Sharing our parts
Sharing our parts
Never have I hurt like burning
Long time for soul to be missing
Sharing our parts
Sharing our parts
Maybe silence is right.
Maybe silence is right.
Silence is right.
Silence is right.
