I am in danger all day long
8 seconds away from getting my ass beat down
My hair pulled out
My ears shredded with all that
bleating and bloating
Never before have I realized
what an asshole I can be
And it's only when I'm feeling free
can't go back
can't give in
might flinch run away
come back
make my way
And
the fear is gone
I will see through
to the next dawn
Not afraid anymore to wait
I know my life
whatever they say
Is in the fisted grip of fate
today tomorrow next life
Not ever gonna know
I just pray She won't let go
And
For the days gone by
I will step out from behind the lie
I will keep the memory of us lit
at the end of my cigarette
Believe you are best
without a witness
draw your face
when I'm faithless
put your name
on the guest list
And
I'm sorry I don't say thank you the right way
because
This isn't ever going to end
It's the truth
And
it isn't what you think

Egghead
My heart is beating
keeping a pace with the engine
could be the caffeine
the bed of no sleep
but something is lurking behind the door
I can't stop gripping my pen
taking a picture with every blink
anything to stop the coming
but I can't leave well enough alone
there are no tears before death
nothing matches
no room in this bitter hollow for regret
nothing fits
just a rushing fear that can't quite grasp
it's about to hit
as the ground falls up to meet
keeping a pace with the engine
could be the caffeine
the bed of no sleep
but something is lurking behind the door
I can't stop gripping my pen
taking a picture with every blink
anything to stop the coming
but I can't leave well enough alone
there are no tears before death
nothing matches
no room in this bitter hollow for regret
nothing fits
just a rushing fear that can't quite grasp
it's about to hit
as the ground falls up to meet

Heart of a lamb
Freckles across her friendly nose
Eyes bright with a righteous
Joy from her place above ?
Her violence crushes our early morning commute into the pain of waking
We are none us awake
We chatted while she was demanding we all do something or other
I said
Jesus freaks me out. I never asked him to take responsibility for me
It is seriously passive aggressive
He's a bit of an overachiever
I told him to take in the sights experience the body, travel - it changes everything, you know
I do. I like how big it all is and I like being small inside it
Why won't she be quiet.. she has no
Mercy in her
She's scared lamb, try not to mind
think of our chess game
It would be nice if you played
Yes but I am not okay with losing every game
It's just motion, nobody wins
but I am not okay.
I know.
