Linens

The bones underneath my flesh
Match the crystal blue in your eyes
Baby, my skin ain’t transparent
And there’s not enough light in this world
Heroin green and porcelain that’s built to kill
Is all they see dear

Shine, shine, shine through this canvas
That wraps my heart up in flames
I’ve never felt a fit any worse

Pick up the pen and write me out of this misery
God knows I’ll never see a face more clear than yours

The Trees are Wearing Seatbelts

The marks on the pistol tell your family stories

Ten thousand and one regrets

And a million more lies

Who stretches the sheets so tight

You can barely breathe at night

Fight the liquor ‘til daddy tucks you in

Fuck it

God knows all about sin

And everything it takes to win

Who stuck all of the seeds in wrong

The prophets haven’t been up to good

Bites in the apple are so quick to kill

But Eve sold Adam another pill

Cleanup on Aisle 19

I've never known a better feeling
Than the grocery store fever
It hit my veins like lightning

There you were
In all your collegiate glory
Oh but your face was still so comely

I've missed you all the while
The summer faded

There is a God and I've seen Him on your face
In a terribly too familiar place

October

I've never seen a place drearier
Than the one outside of my flesh
Than the one so far from my heart

Roll on October sky
Fill our lungs with oxygen
Let us breathe, oh let us breathe
There's so much more we have to see
Have to feel to remind us that we're real

September's scuffing your veneer dull
Oh October please fight back
Our arteries can only make it so far
So far then they snap into a million pieces
That lay flat on this earth

Don't let us make up the ground we walk on
Oh, Oh, Oh
Don't let us make up the ground we walk on

All the bells and whistles are fine tuned
This flying machine is set to go
To take us to a place where the veins on our necks
Match the leaves' in the trees

Oh, Oh, Oh October
It's not over yet

Thirsting After Quick Fixes and Strange Mixes

Best skin forward
and your mothers' charm
Makes up for my grace
That always shows up late
Because my veins are busy fighting
The politicians who make the statistics

God knows I want to marry you
And keeps his lips zipped tight
While I stammer wishful prayers all night

My eyes have grown weary
And my joints have conformed
To the workings of tyrants and kings
Who will fight for the lips of their soul

Oh how far will my heart reach
Across the internet expanse
More than ever I wish to feel you
Because I can't remember the last time I did

If you've got a mix
Won't you give me a fix
My effort's hardly elastic
When it's stretched like plastic
But I got some oxygen
That's been dying to breathe

Highway Luminescence

I've never seen the city more alive
Than tonight
Energy as real as the raindrops on my dashboard
Aluminum on the highways' so much more important
When foot and pedal collide
I've never seen the city more alive
More alive, more alive

God made my eyes and my bones
And they feast on the thrones
Of energy I'm nestled in tonight

Jesus Christ don't you stop it
Burn this city all night
I've never seen it so bright

The Buoyant Love Story

You know this lace I’ve donned
And this smile I’ve created
Makes me feel
Like the prettiest girl
Oh it makes me feel
Like the prettiest girl
In the midst of the chaos of our souls degraded

Moments calculate their way out of our fingers
Because we’ve forgotten what it feels like
To grip the breeze of the vast and endless sea
Aboard this empty ship of dreams
We sink or float now

Holding our breaths to avoid the headache
Of the world that passes before us
Swimming for the stairs
It’s our only hope

I’ll promise you the world if you promise me this
That you won’t ever forget the curves of my chest
Oh love you weren’t ever second best
I’d give you the very last of every single
Heart murmur turned to breath

The luminosity in glass eyes through and through
I see the lifeline tangled in the rope that is you
And I’ll be forever grateful
If you’d throw it our for me
Because don’t forget it baby
We sink or float now

I’ll promise you the world and hold my breath
If you tell me that your headache
Will make it through the night

The Anti-Scientific Breakdown

This is the last thing but cynical
I feel like I’ve fallen into a miracle
That is only unpredictable
Because it’s you and me now

My heart beats for
Everything you do
Every word every and every phrase its true
Oh, I cannot get enough of you

Trust me without you I’d be beaten an worn
The difference between you and me
Yes I am torn

I know you’re far
And I’ve gotta fight off every last scar
Without you

Oh but love this is the last thing but cynical
I feel like I’ve fallen into a miracle
That is only unpredictable
Because it’s you and me now

As sure as the sun sets tonight
Baby, we’ll be alright

Because my heart it beats
To the rhythm that you create
And my eyes they see
Everything that’s meant for me

In you
In you
In you

Political Grass

The trees they move

In corresponding patterns

That match my heart’s rhythms and swells

Plastic inevitable never did me well

Anarchists sing on Capitol Hill

While the republican party goes to hell

We don’t make sense anymore

And it’s daddy’s fault

He never taught you to feel

To remember to breathe

Or let you listen

To the good that’s in me

I don’t know why I’m here

In this city's embrace

I can’t see past

The red X on my face

The trees they move

In corresponding patterns

That match my heart’s rhythms and swells

Plastic inevitable never did me well

Nothing makes sense anymore

Cause we’re all out of sight

Swallowing ourselves

With our minds, not our hearts

The anarchists sing on Capitol Hill

Cause Daddy never taught them

The republican feel

Our minds, not our hearts

Oh, it is them

Oh, it is them

Because it’ll never be us

Earth Underwater

This town can't keep moving
From underneath our feet
Underneath our feet
My eyes are chafing from the friction
Because change is my only addiction
Watch days pass and hope they never happen again

We're demoralizing ourselves
As we take the wrong books from the shelves
I can't hold it in any longer
I can't fight, I can't fight
But we'll be alright

You've got the pen
And I got the knives
Because it's just what we do with our nine to fives
If you hold tight just a little bit longer
Hold on just a little bit stronger
We'll make it out alive

Can't fight, can't fight
But we'll be alright

Towards You

Love, I'll be alright tonight
I'll be alright tonight
As I walk along the stepping stones

Oh, darling I'll be alright tonight
As long as you promise me you won't ever forget
The colors you laced within my bones

I Wanted to Fly

The day you went away
Was the last day I died
So I said God make me strong
Don't let my heart rest
There's so much inside of me
And I never know
When I'll break
But I will yearn to fly
To alleviate the gravity
That's running through my veins
I let my reds and blues
And ones and twos
loose the day before
I was reminded that destiny
Settles the score
There's so much inside of me
And I never know
When I'll break
Or how far I will fly
If I can't find the eagle's nest amidst all the blue
Know that I'm flying everyday until I fall
In your arms and the scorekeeper gives in
Lets us win
Surrendering everything he took
On the day I died
But I'll say God make me strong
Don't let my heart rest
There's so much inside of me
It's shaking and rattling at my core
And I'm trying so hard just to make sure
I get up to fly before I hit my bedroom floor
Oh, I'll get up to fly
Get up to fly
Before I hit my bedroom floor

Birds and Oxygen

I think I'll be fine
As long as these Floridian overcast skies
Don't ever become the color of my eyes
My wrist can tell time
So give in and let me breathe
Blue plastic pens speak louder than you ever could
Place this awful chartreuse
Outside my window
And hideous marrow in my bones
But my eagle flies higher than your pigeon Florida
So give in and let me breathe

Radio Wars

There’s lots of shit building
Between my radio wires
The peasant life just might cut it for me
Your smile was always too rich for my taste
The sun was always too dull for your face

We’re all martyrs
Fighting for a reason to die
To braid into the history books
We call our own

The radio men whisper to me at night
And tell me about the hues
That make up the views
I see when I look at you
And the spacemen tell me how round the moon is
So I feel at home
Every time I see her
We all got colors and we all got shapes

We’re all martyrs
Fighting for reasons to die
But if we’re lucky
We might even get to finish July
Fuck it to the history books

I made Lucifer’s bed with fright
Cause I lost my reason to die
Last night

Wick State

You burned up my insides Oregon
Oh Salem Witch Trials you burned up my insides
And I can’t find the ashes
No, I can’t find the ashes

Where’d they go?
And why the hell can’t I find them here
You stole the Pope and he preached me dead
He helped me sin into a coma
Where’d my fucking insides go?

Show me your Hawthorne
And your Stark and your Burnside
Fuck it all just damn it fuck it all
Hide my smoldering insides
I love you until I can’t burn anymore
I love you until you can’t burn anymore
I love you until we can’t burn

Think you can walk but you can’t run away
From everything you took
Steal the Pope and have him preach me dead
But nothing will ever take away
The five thousand bullets shot under my bed

Note: There isn't any animosity towards Oregon in my body. This is merely how far I will go to rid my bones of poet's block.

Grasshopper

If you were a fish this sinus infection
Would swim away
As you shot that carbon dioxide
Out of your gills with pride
And the water would glow
Breath after breath
If I could undo my flesh so you could wear it just once
I’d kill the butcher and steal his fine cutlery

Only mother is there
The white hues in her hair
Say that she’s done this before
Fostered to her sick child
Day in and day out
She lays her smile upon his pout
For it’s all he needs
As his sleep proceeds

Biology Lies

Underwater holding my breath
Seven feet long
They’re preaching their beliefs in the streets
Be quick to tell me when I can splash out
But make sure the shit’s left their mouth

The day they told me God’s not human
My dripping fingers longed to feel
What it’s like to rip the sky in two
And reveal that stars are run by me and you

Be quick to remind me what oxygen feels like
I’ve never held my breath more
Than seven feet long

Tell the fish I’m sorry
But I can’t swim in between the cracks
And inform the mermaids
That I’ll never be back
Cause I forgot what oxygen feels like
Filling my lungs like chorine fills my pores
Oh, breathe it out
I gotta, gotta breathe it out

If God can’t be human can I?

Glass Between Hearts

I wish you wouldn’t sleep that way
Just like you did yesterday
In between your cleanest sheets
Cause I lay alone in mine
Wishing I could stop my fingernails from ripping them apart
And it’s so hard to breathe tonight
And know that you are away from here
Cause here used to be right outside my bedroom window
You would always peek through
Hoping to see my dreams taking place
Cause you filled them with your grace

I won’t ever forget the day
You told me my window would no longer be marked with your evening’s fingerprints
Cause you clung too hard to the glass
Until it all shattered and sliced your dignity to die
Before you even learned to fly

I wish we could just go back
To the nights you would watch my dreams take place
But now you’ve lost all your grace
And I’m so out of place

I wish we could go back to the nights my window radiated
With the light of the stars you hung on my ceiling
Lit, and kissed my window goodnight
You hung the stars and kissed my window goodnight
Kissed my window
Oh, you kissed my window goodnight

Tastes Like Bullets

If this is really happening heal me now
But don’t ever tell me how
You forgot the kiss goodbye
Your lips tremble and lose the dye

Take your voice and take your soap
I’ve already washed away all my hope
Burn your records and seal the ashes tight
And I promise I’ll forget tonight

It’s the color my eyes never were
That’s floating all around her

I was broken I was healed
All my good skin was revealed
And locked into this guessing game
Of pure misuse and shame
But my eyes never saw someone as pretty as you

Don't worry like you never did
I'll get my paintbrush back soon
Make my wings gold by noon
I'll be fine
I've got Frank Sinatra
We're into witchcraft
And you're just another spell gone wrong
But my eyes never saw someone as pretty as you

Fighting Gravity

When I was five I tried to fly
And when I turned seven I sold my broken wings
But I never sold my desire
For a powerful wind to transpire

Oh take me wind, oh wind
Take my joints and let me fly
With all the birds and shiny airplanes
Lift me up like he never could
All the ways I knew you would
As I hid amongst the darkness
In that trap set out for me

Anatomy of a Revolution

One day I’ll have a heart
And you’ll be a part of it
Stir in your love and let it sit

I’ll prosper into a new generation
And we’ll all produce such a sensation
We just pack up our things
And move to Colorado Springs
Where everyone sings
Remembering what we departed (from)
Before all of this hipster shit started
People had a voice
Not just a choice

It’s about time we woke up
To a new porcelain coffee cup
A new hammer to break our fast
To help us forget about the past
And make our generation last

Man

Tonight I met a man
Who sang songs of great depression
Happenings and other things

There were dead men on the highway side
That sang just like the man I met
But never shook his hand

Fidel Castro

So you wanna know if I ever get upset
Knowing I can’t talk to you about anything
Wanna know if I ever really cared
Or ever got scared
Of the day you would go away
And never be back to say
Everything that you said the wrong way

You don’t wanna know my insides
But you refuse not to perfect my outs
And you’d slam it all
In to my face
Because it was all at the wrong pace
For you
Who
Never gave a damn never had a plan
To see me grow
Never spoke the words and sucked up all my pride
The day you took that stride towards perfection
And tomorrow will be hard and you will be so far

Tomorrow you are leaving and I’m gonna feel like shit
Knowing I could have stopped all of it

So tell me have these city lights shown you anything
About me you never knew
Just like that German brew
Helped you find your way out of my mother’s heart
And tear our family apart

So tell me does it sting
To say you’re everything I’ll never be
But come one on and take one look at me
Erase that awful memory
Paint a new picture to see

Tomorrow you are leaving and I’m gonna feel like shit
Knowing I could have stopped all of it
Don’t leave me this way

Waiting For Eternal Midnight

Everybody say’s you can’t you can’t you can’t
And that your heart’s not right
Because you’re strange and beautiful
Something’s gotta be wrong

So you play all day with your wooden elephants
Sitting in the stair closet
Waiting to se if anyone notices
That your heart’s turning to rust

You walk alone on the bloodstained streets
Looking for a ladder to take you higher than you are right now
But still waiting for your exit cue
And people turn to dust

Try to stay in sync with the schoolyard kids
Pretty soon your way off beat
You take one for the team
And then two and then five
Life’s harmony is lost

Something’s gotta be wrong
You’re a modern day Monroe
Living in a Hepburn world
Too busy waiting for your exit cue
To see the starlight guiding you

This is the part you can’t you can’t you can’t
Really think through
Because you think their right
And your hearts just not right
This is the part you wish you wish you wish
You wore gold plated armor to sleep
So the nightmares wouldn’t bite

Today’s the last day you’re heart’s not right
Cause you’re so damn strange and beautiful
And it’s about time you took flight

Very Fine Lines

My shrink has told me so many times
It’s now I gotta read the fine lines
But lately that’s so hard to do

There’s a knife or something
Stabbing into my back
Juts out my stomach
Right through the heart I lack
Cause he stopped me back there
Under that shack
If only I would have known
My heart would soon crack

Lines are boundaries varied in size
All this time I though nothing
Could dominate my eyes
Lines create limits and rules by which to follow
Although these days it’s hard
I just gotta swallow
The pain that made those lines disappear
And I think it’s here
Where I tell my shrink
I can’t read between the fines lines
Cause to him nothing mattered
And the lines were so scattered
Upon the wall
It’s like they never really existed at all

Us vs. Us

I’ve just gotta get out of here
Nothing’s really quite clear
We’re all just floating around in space
Cause we’re so fucking tired of this place

Nothing makes sense and nothing is pure
And our doctors haven’t yet found a cure
For our sickness and our deprivation
Cause here it’s nothing but damnation

We’ve all got heavy hearts
Encasing superficial desires
That we hang above the steel plated mantle
Just so someone sees

Our father pins up his plaques
While mom runs the tracks
And this regret on their backs
Is enough to rip their slacks

We don’t make sense and our money’s for sure
Too little to get out the door

Wear our emotions on cyberspace
Cause we’re so fucking tired of this place
And I hope you saw that flaw on her face

We don’t make sense and our money’s for sure
Too little to get out the door

She is tired and he wants more
He is broken and she is poor
Left her regrets on his bedroom door
And nothing really matters anymore

We are fragile and we are bleak
Not enough emotion to get through a week
It’s wrong that we seek

And if this is home
Why are we so alone

The Lamb Who's Helping Me Become Intact

I’ve been roped into the world of selfish scars
Then I stared into white light
And I was shot out into reality

But there so pretty
So pretty, like you
I wish I was a pretty little scar
That you could wear upon your heart
And never let me fade
Never let me fade, fade, fade….

I swore I was in denial I knew I was
Because they’re just so damn pretty
Razor to skin is a remedy
And it’s pretty

Society deems ungodly
I deem selfishly beautiful
Selfish and beautiful

Soon later I escaped to a paradise land of trust to be abused
And hibernation from fear, hibernation from fear
That fear hit my pretty little face and revealed my pretty little scars
Oh my scars

Then I started train hopping in tranquility
And I found a lamb, found a lamb
The lamb thinks my scars are remedy
A pretty little remedy

I don’t want a pretty little remedy
For the common cold
And my porcelain skin

Transparencies

So tell me is it immoral to break this glass I wait for you behind
And cut out the piece where your fingerprints lay
Where is the hand
Oh where is the hand to accompany them

So tell me is it immoral to break this glass I wait for you behind
Breaking my bones so you’ll filter all the pieces

Am I biting just to break my jaw
Or is my jaw breaking because I am biting

Since when does everything break
And give you permission to watch behind the fingerprinted glass

It is impossible to break this glass the way you broke my heart

The Michaelangelo Fisherman

Close your eyes oh, sweet child
He’ll cast the net soon
And save you from a love too mild

You’ve had him all the while
That red lipstick silhouette
Sat on his skin
And you thought you’d never win

Be patient
Just like love and the very best kind
Just like love and the very best kind

Some day, someday he’ll ride along the coast
And spot that heart you love to boast
Cast the net for you sweet child
And save you from a love too mild

And you’ll travel ashore
Leaving everything behind
In that reef where your heart would grind against the rocks
It just doesn’t matter anymore
It just doesn’t matter

You’ll be baptized again
In the perfume that he loved
The worst skin will glide off of your bones
That will fall off in turn
Your eyes will pop out
And your stomach will burn
As he discards all your muscles
And slices the half of his heart that belongs to you
Then comes the paintbrush he’ll use
To paint you brand new
All over again

This is the day
This is the day that you win

You’ve had him all the while
That red lipstick silhouette
Sat on his skin
And you thought you’d never win

Shiny Pictures

They gave, gave and they took
Every single decent page from my book
But you glued them back, glued them back into place
Cause it’s about time we picked up the pace
You’re my most favorite face

It all makes sense
It all makes sense

All these years
I’d been fighting my fears
I never acknowledged that my biggest one
Is falling out of love with you
Cause I’m far too deeply in
And it’ll take more than a whim
To get me out

Secondhand Heart

This is the way it is and has been
I call out and I’m unanswered
Just like an ill tempered husband

My words are knives
And oh, those heroin eyes
I swear it’s penetrating

If only just tonight I could stop it
And exalt the chief
If only just tonight I could see it
And report it to the chief

Dentistry is failing these days
And now I breathe smoke
Orthodontics is weakening right now
My jaw can’t keep it in
Damn smoke damn smoke

I want him to be like her

If only just tonight I could stop it
And exalt the chief
If only just tonight I could see it
And report it to the chief

My heart’s lost in my mouth
And she can’t even see my black lungs

I’ll give up before she does
But I’ll love her just the same
After all God gave her my name

One For Your Checklist Sir Daniel

I built myself up
So you wouldn’t break yourself down
I steered clear of my failure
And you gave into fear

All I ever really wanted
All I ever really wanted
Was to love you
And make your heart pure

All I ever really needed
All I ever really needed
Was your love
So my heart could be pure

You brought out the best in me Sir Daniel
Don’t take this to heart
But I think this is where
We curse
And fall apart

All we ever really were
All we ever really were
Was perfect
Our hearts so pure
And eyes full of hope
But lungs of smoke

If you find dissatisfaction in being the Duke of Whittington
Sir Daniel
If you find dissatisfaction in the mending of your heart
You can borrow mine
You can borrow mine
After all it’s quite pure

Don’t look at me like this Sir Daniel
Or I might just fall apart
And add a failure to my empty checklist
A failure to my empty checklist
Damn it my empty check list

Marrow and Flesh

My jaw line is broken
Elbows of ash
And words cut like axes

When the lady comes
Tell her to clean my bones first
Their suffocating, oh God my bones are suffocating
Make sure she cleans between the crevices
Where bone meets flesh
Cause I’ve been keepin’ it in

My skin needs to bathe in pure fluids
And my pores must swallow it in
Only to purge it out
Along with all this glass
That’s been blocking my bloodstream
And all functions of my heart

Before she leaves make her construct my jaw line
In the shape of a heart
My heart

Don’t let her touch my heroin eyes
I’ll polish them myself
Don’t you dare show her the X that marks the spot
Where my acid heart’s switch is
I think I’d be better
Turning it off

Houdini Minus The Escape

She turned the corner
And it was magic so tragic
It couldn’t beat the taste
Of magnet between the lips

Bye bye, black eyes
It’s about time you’re hung
And taken off the smoking grill
Cause those glances’ll soon kill

Sayonara long face
You’re no longer a basket case
He’s got you drunk on his
Aged, amber whiskey

Hey, ecstasy hips
He’s got the lips you need
And lungs made brand new
To suck the living dead right out of you

Your heart can stop yearning
Bodies are burning
And tongues are lusting
This joint’s yours for the busting

And it’s printed in the hieroglyphics
This is more than just physics
Reaction time’s fast and speeding up more
Fair trade I’m sure

Magic so tragic
For a heart that was plastic

Holding

I’m holding you up with the best intentions
Holding you up by our connections
I’m holding you up Johnny boy
Fall, fall a little more
With the very best intentions

One day you’ll smile Johnny boy
I’ll see it sometime soon
One day I’ll yawn
And you’ll breathe it sometime soon
Hold faith and I will too
Hold faith as I hold you

One day Johnny boy
One day we’ll smile just like you
In the meantime teach us how
We forgot the day you did too

I’ll be the thing to distract you from the moon
As long as you’ll smile
Sometime soon

Heartbreak In Hygiene

They say, they say a dog’s mouth
Is cleaner than a human’s
I am no taxonomist
So who am I to classify life?
But I gotta admit I agree

Humans have mouths
Full of teeth
We use to bite and bite
At people’s hearts
And in places unseen
And the right side of the brain

Humans have mouths
With a tongue of deception
That wander off to uncharted territory
Where they don’t even belong

Humans have mouths
Connected to an esophagus
That leads down to the voice box
We use to damn and curse

All in spite of the humans who
Unlike dogs
Who have mouths just as filthy
Who have mouths just as filthy
Who have mouths just as filthy as you and me

Food Poisoning

Who made my bones whole?
And wore my sins clean?
I’ve gotta be honest, I really can’t see

It’s raw all so raw
Raw like the heart I ate last night
Fake like the love I swallowed with fright
Diagnosed with food poisoning
New prescription in hand

The pills go down smooth
And fit right into the groove
Of my ever slowing bloodstream

Then it all went black
And the taxonomist had a heart attack
Cause the side effects say blindness
But he never saw itAnd no one ever will

Cause we all ate a raw heart that night
Learned the love we swallowed with fright
Was the very last time we’d use all our might
To conjure up some sight

Who made my bones whole?
Who wore my sins clean?
Now I’m living off pure dream

Crying Out: Jaws Of Life

If we had it made again, if we had it all
I would sit with you until you cried
And catch you before you fall
If only we had it made again
We would have it all

We would walk through villages and tear down cities
And remind ourselves of the time
We found dinosaur bones by the Great Wall

Everything was so perfect and everything was so clear
When I could touch the stars
While we chased red sports cars
You touched me and I touched you
If anything I felt brand new

With you I was so free
When that dark film swallowed your eyes
You lost all ability to see

Now this earth it is shaking
I’m breaking oh dear Lord I’m breaking
And I’m Yours for the taking

Will you accept these battle scars that they’ve left
And make me feel brand new (all over again)

I’m breaking oh dear Lord I’m breaking
And I’m Yours for the taking

Cold Fire

I never really needed to look like the people
And I never really wanted to exist
Nor be a suicidal wreck
Until I played with fire

I bit fire and fire bit me back
Bit me back cold and silver
Fire doesn’t stop biting until it’s made a scar
And then some
So I had to kill her

Call it homicide
Cause I’m not killing myself

I’m killing the girl with the magazine heart
Found on international newsstands
I’m killing the girl with the coffee bean eyes
Ground until liquid

I’m killing the girl who plays with the cold, silver fire
But I won’t kill her scars
No, won’t kill her scars

Circle Into a Square

This time I just don’t care
And I’m giving up
I’m going out with a bang
Cause I know how to tell a lie
And seal it with red lipstick venom
To cover up the perforated lines

My knees are getting ashy
My blood is wearing thin
And your eyes glued shut
Just won’t let me in

You were the best I ever knew
You were the best all until now
But this time I just don’t care
And I’m giving up

I can only pull you so far
And work you so hard
Until the trick is old
The last fortune is told

Call it reverse leprosy
Call it homicide
Cause the more of this I kill
The more my body reassembles
And the glue begins to harden

Child's Play

They’re telling us the faster and faster we pedal
The further we’ll get
My legs have been moving
For days on end
And my feet’ll soon fall off

I’ve seen nothing yet
And I’m really quite lonely
Cause all I’ve got inside me
Is a heavy heart and a jar of pills

All these academic carbs got to me
And now my arteries harden
‘Til they explode, explode, explode
Ashes so dry
Into this sky so grey

I’m ready to trade in my tricycle
For a pair or wings
And fly so alive
Out of this city so dead
This city’s so dead

Broken Jaw Chronicles

Lonely nights in somber waiting
And my tears couldn’t keep hesitating
My sanity’s up for debating

I can’t believe I kissed a broken jaw
Full of vengeance and wrath
I speak on my own behalf
To this day I can’t believe I say
I kissed a broken jaw
Practically breaking my own law

Lonely nights in somber waiting
In that page of my book
In all honesty I burnt the pages
And forgot about them all

Oh, God I’m sorry I kissed a broken jaw
Before I fixed my own
I’m sorry God just give me wings to fly me home

Acoustic Heart

Don’t lose your grip oh Lord
Don’t lose your grip
Oh Good One you are complete
Complete us now and we’ll forever sing a song so sweet
And we’ll fall at your feet
Cause with your love, nothing can compete

Hold us up now
And we’ll fly oh so free
As we soar with the lost ones
The lost ones we are and will be
Don’t lose your grip oh Lord
But let us fly endlessly free
The lost ones we are and will be

We need your restoration
Served with immaculate hands
So carry out your plans
Just don’t lose your grip
We’re falling quickly
But winning so quick

As long as you’ll hold us dear Lord
In your splendorous womb
We’ll be born again soon

Refocus our eyes
And remove our disguise
Glue between bones and stitches to skin
After all we’re quick to win
We’ll be born again soon
The lost ones we are and will be
Until we’re born again soon
Our hearts they will finally see
