On the rural side of town Rustic barn, half-fallen down Our cheeks, sanguine The lights were green Everything was what it seemed And for the record, let it show All we felt is all we know The changing lives as lengthy seams On creaky floors and pop machines They were kids of the sun Dirty shoes, on the run Worship vagrants for their lies On shoals they walked, they left their tides.

Honey Bells 03:01
Why don't you believe that you are tearing at my seams? You are making me feel like my world's upside down Aw, Honey you say the craziest things Aw, Honey you say the craziest things The craziest things Well I feel your pain and i'll make it right Forget tomorrow, let's live tonight

This scope is fogged. Our limbs get weak Every subtle glance, a sight to seek. A hunter's love is the hunted game Running hearts don't beat the same The type we seek, we do create To fill a void that you've left open Your chance to breathe will permeate Every door that we have closen The learning phase at which we were Sparkles in eyes that look half-open Your brand of tongue slips through the gums As a love we hadn't chosen.

Whimsical are words That carry their genuine tones All heavy melodies Seem tragic with lips sewn My only offense is A mouth that openly drums I think I've found a new problem Try and fix it without speaking up Lame-legged and useless in Changing with great people undoing me Discovering ideology "Problem solving," meaning nothing's new All living matter is dying Just look how it grew it on me Asymmetries are left to dry On a laundry line Perhaps too crass i am, To feed a better man These puns and radicals Under a different sine I think I've found a solution Can't accomplish without seeking help Wide-eyed and humbled in Saving lesser people that look just like me Rediscover all your senses Tastebuds tingle at the bell of weird Mother I've caught you sighing Just look how you grew on me My apologies are pure And the crown belong to me I'm the keeper of my secrets With the moxie of the free Am i brave? or king of fools? To share my thoughts Turned shoddy stools

Rugrat 04:10
Brushstrokes to entertain a soulful child Rhythms to fill his head Fondly, he's holding up a picture book Energy to last for days Always smile, baby boy You're so wild, full of life Stay a while, learn from me Pretty things for you and I Antics, living like a tire-swing I wish I was your age Throwing rocks, and doing so jovially I can't be mad at you, rugrat

Touch 03:32
Welcoming the sunshine to our house The typewriter's ink of our lovely mouths Can you recall when we drank too much? Everything is simple when you're out of touch Wring it out, hang it up, remember to use your words Scream and shout, run about showing off all your curves When you look back at this you'll see You're not the only one to blame Unashamed Bleach stains soon forgotten Your dripping audacity So dark, in the water Wooly eyes you claim to have seen If he should forgive you He feeds on your love affairs Is it not beneath you? And still you keep splitting hairs So dark, in the water Wooly eyes you claim to have seen Naked truth and reason Is gone, but my skin is free Wonder how long til we meet again With furrowed brows and tilted chins I can tell now, but can't say much Everything is simple when you're out of touch

There's not much difference in the dead from the sleepers Where one used to be and the other, just dreamers Oh, how we've seen it all before All the bells and whistles, yet so lacking at the core She comes with the breeze and wraps herself around me now I crumble to my knees and promise her with every vow Marigold valor through and through A wolf in sheep's skin couldn't fool you
8.
Harvest Moon 06:31
Fresh breath of romance Break bread with older hands Around a table Strong words to fragile ears A season for friends Leaves fall from deep brown tint Your cheeks been paled pink, girl Harvest moon thoughts begin And on the surface of This simple patterned glove - there's chilly air And when the clouds step in We'll promise love again to poetry Take out your scarves again And let's bring color to our numbered years We'll show each other things See how this season breeds experiment I am without stress So pleased, i must confess Dull heat of cigarettes To light up our circles A time for long talks Hiding in the corn stalks Your cheeks been paled pink, girl Harvest moon thoughts begin
