Do you love? I only give what another cannot stand I walk in the shadows of things too surreal to believe Obscured by alertness and freedom The creature, hunchbacked near my cabinet Has kept watch over me And when he leaves my side I have truly lost my innocence Just as the day in a dim bowling alley When my cousin, her friend, and I talked about life And I mistook reflection For deep affection

Did anyone see you On the bed that night Half drunk, dazed, and smiling Yearning for My fluorescent lights? Moments fade too quickly As I learned stuck in neutral Suppressing old feelings Which I barely could control If I could come to your lips Everything would be just right I would never fac that that darkness Or travel through this Wasteland of filmstrips Directed by names I can't pronounce! Though our friendship has scattered With the ashes of receding tides If our sparks ever cross again I'll be sure to Drop you a line.

As the morning turned my way See birds flying through it's hazy face And I came back here to replace your place in my life And didn't you know that I'm not the world's strongest man When it comes to you and your world I'm lost Can't you see the towers of mine they could shine like a dime Take me back again to your warm desire And again again again Longing for belongings here again And I need your love you know I can't pretend anymore And didn't you know that I'm not the world's strongest man When it comes to you and your world I'm lost Can't you see the towers of mine they could shine like a dime Take me back again to your warm desire

Saw you at a concert Tan and full of life Billy played his heart out We never heard him in our lives There was an old woman there She grabbed me by the arm I ignored it and walked away To your bountiful irresistible charms. She looked for a weapon in cold blood While I held you and tried to say I love you But fear of leaving stood in my way At 2 AM I scour the Internet Horny and alone Dozens of girls call me daddy Cheerleaders, teenagers, sadomasochists Everyone feels so hollow and far away from this There's someone that means the world to me But I turned away When her existence became happy and busy. So I drink when no one's home Cider and beer without a care It's only happened twice so far But I fear what demons await me there. I need you now Though we never dated and I haven't seen you in a year Come lay here by my side Handle with care Thouch my hand and spoon me What's left of my pride

My Letter: The script was twisted The stamp not on straight I took the wrong way round the bend It worries me writing you These feelings will never end you know. Still I have it buried in my soul A bent-up word from long ago Though I know it's strange I hold it close and think of everything we should be. Song For Ava: Saw you in a film the other night The camera was great The writing alright Do you think of me as your slave now honey? Do you hear them moaning at night? Like the man I despise Locking her up so tight Betraying Jesus's dreams Treating girls as toys Pipes to be passed around To all the naughty girls and boys My crush is an angel And sluts are seraphim sent When it's over they go straight up to Where our Dear Mother is meant But the sackcloths devour them I shall remove what they stroke Trails of blood for the old Injun cries Smiles through the fort fire and smoke. John, clean Pocahontas's ass And leave her in the tobacco fields She can live then Pure with the land Gone from her eyes the courts and old fears Maybe I could love you For somebody else Maybe all my questions Are teasing me through your mammary cells But I know they'll keep you Till you can't perform Cut you unceremoniously down Look at all the pretty worms! Is this the life we know? Obscured by ceramic and kiln Weaving blankets of deception As the latex slides in? Now I did get off Quarter past two That doesn't mean it's anything More than what I know love to be true You may enjoy it for a while Call me when you're done We'll wipe down the path Your flaming red virtue had run.

When I was born The stars they bled A tangled mess of light All in your head Now I won't stay too long But I have to feed Such an existence No forsaking the deed! The tears from past lives Running down your face Your soul isn't your own Your mind they've erased I want to see right through you Just give me a little mind Little time Little blind mouse now baby Stumbled into the hive The bees only spared him Cause he had a knife He preached to the cactus Saw many things What he got honey? What he got that I don't got? Tell me! Ah woman, you're making me insane! I become everything Kill me anything I just want you

Embrace him And Stella slaps me round to zero Breathe his perfume the lives of 10,000 years Running down his shirt The haze was good today The grotto was lit, hooray I stumble back in Country rock and stale food You rifle through Anxiety and recipes I get stoned to But if there's one thing I'll remember It's that greeting Drifting outside the airport Whispered with feeling
