Anthem for a Fall

Sleeping dogs lie sideways, and to your face.
So don't get anxious.
Vacate America, if just for one second.
The court jesters been defaced.
But I swear I can make it better.
A slip, an insert, a faux of silence,
and the illusion comes undone.
Don't try to pull a ruse,
the rug is underneath you too.
No robbery without a gun.
You got sick and walked out,
I was left holding the bag.
You were dressed in tears,
I didn't look half bad.
Appropriately wearing black,
it gets fuzzy after that.
But time... to me,
time is a little bit more than abstract.
There's nothing as haphazard as a little slip of truth.

Eccentric in emotion,
but there will never be a second.
Mention to a moment,
I'll tell you if I regret them.
You said hello,
or maybe that was me.
Either way the answers smoking,
so I better start regretting.
I had a dream about you [I kissed you]
then I smothered you, good night.
Reminds me how tactfully I motion.
Reminds me of real life.
We aren't just making mistakes,
we live up to them all.
I got your number on y phone,
but I can't fucking call.
I can't recall anything heartfelt
you ever said to me.
It's laborious to be so cold,
sometimes I feel just like a thing
a smile painted on me,
while I'm tossed aimlessly, carelessly,
and my disease is malignant,
yet to you I am benign,
a steely gaze, well forgotten,
a broken heart; no better valentine.
I'm caught in the shadow of winter,
words that should never have come from me;
love.
Caught in the shadow of winter,
spring is just the shadow of winter.

the Eclectic Child

I got sunshine on my back,
I used to wear a lot of black,
then I found I like the color yellow.
I got sunshine in my heart,
if it all ends the way it starts,
I'd just like to say, hello!
and if the sun doesn't come out today
I like rainy days better anyways,
if darkness creeps it's way back in
I'll say hello!
I've got sunshine in my head,
bright ideas and messages,
I got nowhere, nowhere to go.
I got sunshine in my hands,
answers I don't want or understand.
I guess I don't fucking know.

Cubisphere

Last night I recalled this ball only revolves
in one direction.
It made me feel more isolated than I ever have before.
Tonight I'm wired, inspired, I've grown so tired
of all the questions.
The light creeps through the cracks left open by the door.
And here we are again.
I'm so cold, if I don't break mold, so I'm told
it just might break me.
Just because it rhymes, never meant it was true.
I've grown numb, I've become the sum of
all those things I've tried erasing.
Just because I said it, doesn't mean I love you.
And I call it the cubisphere,
cos on this planet, I can still feel cornered.
And I call it the cubisphere,
because from here, I can see the corners.

the Lonely Song

I turn this shower head, slightly up and to the left.
I made a shadow of our love.
I made the best of this, got everything that I could get.
It's nothing like we had before.
So here I am alone, singing my lonely song,
sometimes I wonder if you cheated,
I couldn't blame you if you did.
Don't rip this blanket off,
or else you just might find the cost
of being anything like me.
I shake my head in spite,
does she love me tonight.
I can't sleep from all the thinking.
We are busy little people doing busy little things.
and there was none of the beauty of fiction,
n'or the danger of adventure.
Just life, and how mediocre that is.
