A View From the Level

Left in your own destruction
Slow motion getaways, adhere to,
the tiny, bursts of light

The altar is a ghost
Stained with the times, of pristine and,
unrequited, memories

An excuse to fight is one to hide*

Shaking in the navy suit
Bursts are missing on, prayers from,
Lost souls, and unrecovered heartbreaks


Horrors and dead and gone
They created you, to lie but,
you won't swallow it down

(Chorus)

Why did you leave?
You say "I love you, so much and,
I could, not, hurt you"

The Existential Analytic

Thought are sought through power and knowledge
to prevent the downfall of the institution
who keeps order moving
Feeling unused and bored
I fuse my thoughts with more meaningless myths
too seek my peak of of thinking about
thinking and the mind falls behind

Come along, come along, follow my lead
Just never follow that advice I heed

Summers give illusions of fun and games
but they create delusional love and its all the same
Come back to spring, where I bring on the life
that created the deflated version of my song
I sing, the only one I'd sing along

(Chorus)

So sell my thoughts and misinterpret words
but make sure to stand for the people who sough
their true meaning of existence and the
existential analytic can continue but,
only on a venue

(Chorus)

You Jest?

Stop your tears lets hit the road
Forget your lipstick under the coat
No your face doesn't look soaked
Lady your mind needs to let the clamp go

I've never seen the starlight beauty
Didn't care for the cheesy movies
I've never gone to the craze called love
Materialism just hovers above.

But tonight, tonight, tonight, I'll play my most lovely trick.
But she'll never know and applaud, know and applaud, know and applaud

They always said problems aren't solutions
I always try, try to disprove the cycle
She always goes, gets consumed in the middle.
It always longs, forces my resistance.

So what's left to do, when you're ill-equipped
With lack of common empathy?

But tonight, tonight, tonight, I'll play my most lovely trick.
But she'll never know and applaud, know and applaud, know and applaud

Hung On A Cartel

On her late night subway rendevous
Meeting her mysterious boss
Dresses so accordingly
Mascara down to high heel boots
The underground roars and disappears
As she leaves, no trace of perplexity.

Hanging by the grocery
Talking to your cotarie
Ran out of excuses to stall
Your face is mirrored on my wall
Your hands rush and stop the screams
Your eyes blaze, death creeps uninvitingly

Peering down that alleyway
She walks into the dark
Undergrounds screech and howl
While reflections fade.
They see her for that split second
Mystified by transperency
And I find, your mind is blind.

Delinquency

One by one
She say "This is losing all its fun"
Two by two
She say "What else do I have to do?"
Three by three
He say "Too bad you ain't ever gonna leave"
Four by four
She'll never understand attachments are always sore.

Five by five
She say "I miss feeling alive"
Six by six
She say "I fall for his tricks"
Seven by Seven
He say "You won't be forgiven"
Eight by Eight
She'll never understand how long she'll wait.

Dreaming of shows with a place to call home
Insecurity kills her sleep, he drifts in too deep.
"No way she'll keep, you'll always console her, she'll always weep."
He laughs, smiles, knowing he continues to roam.

Nine by nine
She say "I go back everyday cuz everything is always fine."
Ten by ten
She'll never understand what her life would have been.

The Storm

"Storm's coming quick" said the father to his boy
Mighty damn thing blew his precious favorite toy
His most prized possession gone with no trace

Didnt wanna waste more time
Didnt wanna waste more time

Sitting at 5th & main, he waited for the crash
Black holes transfix his apathy with a crash
Feed the emptiness within his hole
Needed a lover to look after his soul

He didnt wanna waste more time
Felt like nothing was on the line
Because restless as the storm moved west
....shit.....why concentrate?

Storm left everything wrecked in the boys' shed
but the toy lay in the hall, remaining by the dog's bed
he couldn't wait to play, enjoy the day
ignore the wreck and take life as it may

Anyday

I confessed too much
went way into touch
with my feelings and such
maybe needed a punch
but my thoughts and my words
though you'd not prefer
spoke my feelings true
in that you're not that her

And I know
you know
what I can't say to you
You know
that I'd make
any day with you

My interest fades
as you see the gray
wish for yesterday
what you wanted today
to be a mellow day
with feelings astray
only need to say hey

And I know
you know
what I can't say to you
You know
that I'd want
anyday with you

Never had great timing
you heart's too shining
A week I might forget it
Now I sit and can only fake it

Someday, with time passed
I'll accept the painful sass
Emotions will be detatched
Never have to see that lately
But I'll have to ask
What you felt behind that mask
Maybe there'll be a second chance
I doubt I'll ever do that dance

And I know
you know
what I can't say to you
