Falling From the 27th Floor

Falling From the 27th Floor what did you expect? when you left me all alone. got used to the fact. that you were already gone. what did you expect? when you weren't around. i wasn't even shocked. when the truth was found. wasted all this time. thought that you were mine. every hope and dream. not quite what they seemed. what did you expect? am i such a fool? to sit there all alone. in our dusty room. what did you expect? when you turned your heart away. that i would stick around. that i would even stay. wasted all this time. thought that you were mine. every hope and dream. not quite what they seemed. wasted all this time. thought that you were mine. every hope and dream. not quite what they seemed. not quite what they seemed.

Waiting For Nothing

Waiting for Nothing the junk that you collected. now broken on the lawn. the ideas you bought into. now revealed to be wrong. waiting for nothing. waiting for something to pass. waiting for nothing. waiting for something to pass. all the words you spouted. now faded and now dim. the trophies you collected. melted down to tin. waiting for nothing. waiting for something to pass. waiting for nothing. waiting for something to pass. the promises you held to. faded in the east. all your great expectations. disappointing in the least. waiting for nothing. waiting for something to pass. waiting for something to pass. waiting for nothing. waiting for something to pass. waiting for something to pass. waiting for nothing. waiting for something to pass. waiting for something to pass.

To Burn

To Burn in the morning. before the dawn. you're the flame. to which i'm drawn. in the darkness. alone and cold. i wait for you. your warmth. your glow. to burn my lips against your skin. to burn my tongue deep with in. to burn my hand on your flesh. i wait alone. i long for this. to burn my lips against your skin. to burn my tongue deep with in. to burn my hand on your flesh. i wait alone. i long for this. I'd grown so cold. so nearly gone. not a spark. or ember burned. i sat waiting. and watched the sky. you lit a fire. that burns inside. to burn my lips against your skin. to burn my tongue deep with in. to burn my hand on your flesh. i wait alone. i long for this. to burn my lips against your skin. to burn my tongue deep with in. to burn my hand on your flesh. i wait alone. i long for this. to burn my lips against your skin. to burn my tongue deep with in. to burn my hand on your flesh. i wait alone. i long for this. you are the fire. i can't resist. all is dark. without your kiss. i wait alone. before the dawn. my only one. come keep me warm. to burn my lips against your skin. to burn my tongue deep with in. to burn my hand on your flesh. i wait alone. i long for this. to burn my lips against your skin. to burn my tongue deep with in. to burn my hand on your flesh. i wait alone. i long for this. to burn my lips against your skin. to burn my tongue deep with in. to burn my hand on your flesh. i wait alone. i long for this.

My Very Star

My Very Star fire glows before the dawn. i wait alone for the sun. i sit alone before the dawn. waiting there for my star. i can see. rising up. a single light. above the rest. the fairest star. my very star. my single guide and hope in storm. i can see. rising up. a single light. above the rest. the fairest star. my very star. my single guide and hope in storm. far from shore long ago. i stood alone with out hope. i stood alone in darkness there. unaware my star awaited. i can see. rising up. a single light. above the rest. the fairest star. my very star. my single guide and hope in storm. i can see. rising up. a single light. above the rest. the fairest star. my very star. my single guide and hope in storm.

February Heart

February Heart. is it cold or is it me? did i stumble or did i fall? now some things seem so strange. just trying to move forward. my february heart still seems to fail me. long forgotten. unforgiven. my february heart still seems to beat waiting for the summer. is it over? is it done? did i miss some thing while eyes sleeping? can i finally go on? or am i here forever? my february heart still seems to hurt me. long forgotten. unforgiven. my february heart still seems to pump blood into the white snow. is it cold or is it me? did i stumble or did i fall? laying here in the snow. but Doc Roe isn’t coming. my february heart still seems to hurt me. long forgotten. unforgiven. my february heart still seems to pump blood into the white snow. blood into the white snow.blood into the white snow.

Here & Now

Here & Now. dancing all alone here. no fear or desire. this. is the evening writen by God's own hand. here and now. here and now. here and now. here and now. all the other people. fuss fight or fume. leave me to my devices. leave me to my little room. here and now. here and now. here and now. here and now. free to watch the sun rise. free to walk the ice. free to cry like a baby. free to live my life. here and now. here and now. here and now. here and now. burning burning burning down. bees wax candles burning down. planet slowly turning 'round while bees wax candles slowly burning down. burning burning burning down. bees wax candles burning down. planet slowly turning 'round while bees wax candles slowly burning down.

Purring

Purring. i had a dream. about the kitten we saw laying by the street. i held it’s soul. it told me of butterflies. elasctic bands and onion rings. and fields of green. and room to run. don’t worry about me son. i’m purring now. don’t worry about me son. i’m purring now. so don’t you cry. for cats that are missing or those pets who’ve died. where they are the lions lie down with the lamb. a ball of string provided by the great “I AM”. and room to run. don’t worry about me, girl. i’m purring now. don’t worry about me, girl. i’m purring now.

Six Point Five Not Eight

Six Point Five Not Eight. making a hot drink. changing my eyes. above the redoubt. lights in the sky. switched off the footie. water on floor. motivational speakers. becoming a bore. (six point five not eight) what can i do but stay? (six point five not eight) what would i do anyways? (six point five not eight) listen to more of the same? (six point five not eight) from people who forgot my name? throw away the lyrics. fill up the gap. system is failing. no surprise in that. switched off the cranky. power-bar off too. the indifference engine. knows what not to do. (six point five not eight) what can i do but stay? (six point five not eight) what would i do anyways? (six point five not eight) listen to more of the same? (six point five not eight) from people who forgot my name?

Buggered Eyeball

Buggered Eyeball. quit my job. as a punching bag. walking blind. I turned a side. my buggered eyeball. lead me this way. lead me astray. gave me a. dogs eye view. of broken ground. wise blood shot. and falling down. my buggered eyeball. lead me this way. lead me astray. gave me a. sure is dark. dark in here. grope for hope. amidst my fear. my buggered eyeball. lead me this way. lead me astray. gave me a.
