things on the inside comin' out raw
and cooked to see a better side of life
always runnin' away back to the place you like
separating 'i' from 'i' when there is no 'i' to begin with
the only thing that exists is the present
take it as a gift and let it spoil not
cause life's greater journey, life's greater thought
lies in people places and things all existing in one dancing second
so fast and so fleeting that even now as we sit and speak
we are living in a memory
take it all to heart and listen carefully
the great dinosaur takes it's plunge with grace and ease
to discover the moment the stars they shine
i've been locked in a cell for half my life
and i hear my love calling back to me
the only place that we'd have a match at
is somewhere far, far up my sleeve
you know i'd have no reason to act that
because it's so unreal and obscene
i'll let u into my life
and i'll try to act perfect and clean
let's go out on the back deck
and talk about when we we're sixteen

The Other Half of Me

and of all the rumors that we've been sent on
there's only one rhyme this kid can ride on
half of all my thoughts come from loneliness
the other half dangle in my throat
'cuz where we've rode on
and the sand that sticks
is half curiosity
and the other meaningless
i've been alive on a broken path
i've seen the stink rise from my friends
and now it's time to take a trip
and when it's done take a bath
'cuz of all the roads
that the brain seems to stick on
and the angry lost souls
stickin' on and bringin' on
tears and my loneliness
sad coming forth in this
stickin' to my loneliness
trees that the leaves fall from
and the page rolls on
and all my thoughts are comin' on
and the breath of air and the lights
and the city movements and the high kites
and the comin' alive and the feelin' alright
and the breath of the air
makes the window feel open
and i gotta believe
i'm where i've been goin'

of all the things i want in this life
i need to see you smile
i want to see you loved
there's nothing, all else wasted time
i hurt so bad when you're lost
can't speak to me, can't speak to you
maybe its just because
you need someone down along your side
or might just be because
maybe it's just for love
might just be for love
theres a river on the side of the street
and you might just fall in
be careful to watch your feet
forgetting always points to an end
maybe it's just for love
that i need to see you at my door
as to pull your self because
we need to see a little more
i hurt so bad when you're lost
cant speak to me cant speak to you
might just be for love
maybe its just for love

are there any words that i can say to you?
is there any way that i can talk to you?
lately i've been thinkin' that
lately i've been thinkin' that
I'm sorry
you know i'm not so smooth at conversation
but you don't know just how badly i desire to talk to you
and say i'm sorry
last i saw you, you were at the bottom of a wishing well
swelled with your tears and your heart all broken
i'm sorry
just what is a real friend now, anyway?
is it someone that you do drugs with?
it's not funny
lately i've been thinking' that
it's not funny
just what is the real truth now between us?
was i really such a fool to you?
how could we not see one another for so long?
placed together like the stars reflection over the sea
i mean that
two logs floating in a stream
winding pieces laggin' by
the golden boys were takin' over
we were serious

I'm a Loser

i know you don't sleep very well, i know that you're tired
you've been blowing up way too many balloons, your breath's expired
so now I'm gettin' all the sleep i can get, stayin' away from your celebration
there's nothing more I can do, i've pushed away from you
i've changed my ways once too many
solving everything in front, only observing what's in back
and now there's plenty of confusion to go around
despite what anyone says i'm not what I seem
i may come off a little strong but it doesn't last very long
i'm a loser
was that laugh about me?
who am I anyway?
I'll just turn the other way
try to move on but I fail
see my desire it impales my sense of self
my mind it wails for a home, for a sense of peace
but it's just so hard to me
i know I switch back and forth from up high to crawling low
i run into myself; I know that I don't mean
i'm a loser

oh, the many hours i've spent in my room
trying to figure out just what it is i'm gonna do
and the whole wide world's watchin' me
as i sleep, and i dream
oh, the many days i've sought to be alone
and all the while i'm at rest
gonna go out and start a fire
that's for me, i'm doin' my best
it's just a test
to see who's doin' their best
while you just leave it to the rest
to see what's goin' down
what the hell was that noise all about?
come on just relax, no need to talk so loud
and what the hell are we doin' in this parrot of a bird cage?
that's for you to figure out
I'm goin' down
to where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
you don't need to shout
i know what this is all about

My Song 5

here you are in your fancy thing
laid out on your golden shore
you seem to take me for a ride in the sand
and all of my imagination soars
you are a million paper planes
winged with marker stains flying to mars
you are the silent shore line
of a whisper from someone afar
you are the blackest substance so thick in
disguise and weighted down to the earth
you told me that you were a savior dressed in black
to keep me from knowing who you were
now i can't believe i'm the only one
who see's this monster living in our beds
the sea fills the space on the land and
rises up to the sky to fall all over again
i can't speak of it
it's only a click on space
one is just the truth of it
don't see any of it as waste
like moves coming from another man's head
his lips don't move like mine
he'll see his mistake at the right time
coming from a different light
cause you are the golden air ride of an arrowhead
that splits me to the ground
you are the sun's white saviors that bring grace from the sky
you throw me up and down

it may be dark tonight
but the sun is always bright
and if i could buy the fabric of your shirt
come on sell it to me
i'll unstitch every line
i need to see you
down to your every bone
and if i could reach down and pick you up a line
i'd be alright in mind
white walls will make you blind
some people try to be conscious
and the river always looks dry
put on your dark sunglasses or lay down and die
there's only one choice
to be alive in love

Catatonic Parents

under covered sheets and molten lava
i'm running around in circle forms
telling my tale as if it was real
dreaming my fantasy
under covered life is made of strange noises
strange pictures and strange frame
no longer lucid under a cover of fog
i woke up to the sound of nothing
the humming of an air conditioner
i'm running around in circle forms
haunted by a day dream
it comes up from the waters of my cells
and floats on top of that spot in my brain
where all the crickets go to play in their band
at all of end's peace there's a piece
that's unfitting with the rest
just throw it off to the side
but just watch it, in case it's sentient
catatonic parents lying down with their eyes open
come steal the moment
take from a child's heart
point the needle in the dark
sharp enough to not make a mark
so you can't see the mark
