The Long Long Everlasting
Nothing ever seems to change in this long
long everlasting middle ground.
And the day to day polygraph hasn't
noticed me disgusted with the human condition again. Can you put your
hands together for me? Take a deep breath and smile. Nothing ever seems
to change in this long long everlasting, where nobody knows anybody. So
put your hands together for me! Take a deep breath and smile. Chemicals
told me, told me all about you, how you're handing out rules, to
everyone's little game. Chemicals told me, to bite my tongue, and we
all had
a good laugh, about everyone. Cocktails on me, leave your homework on
the desk, school bell's ringing, so it's time to confess. "Who's eating
who?" from one mouth to the next, when the fire died out it left a
terrible mess. It's a smile and a glance the smirk behind the trance of
a man selling hope dying to live for a dream.
Still Frames
It's sequential, all the frames of the day, and my head
must be skipping
frames today. Photo albums out of order just like upstairs, stacks of
images reading moments, then lost, before it exists, photo realist
collage. And I'm spilling alcohol all over the dolls. I won't bleed for
you just suffocate the room. Trying to arrange images, scattered inside
names and faces. Mixed up with conversations and missed chasses. Read
between lines and thin lips. Keeping eyes off of swaying hips. And it's
all scrap book memory.
A Summers Day Is that a cool breeze on my
shoulders? I'm getting lazy with the rest. Just pillaged the temple.
The king's been pawned for a summer dress. And the statues have fallen,
changed the way we lived. And the women raped, while the roads have
been paved with forks. So is this your way or my way dear friend? Or no
way dead end? And I'm up against that wall friend looking down at my
map. Knowing my directions are flawless, no way to turn back. The eyes
that blind me are the eyes that bind me, so I can pretend I have faith
and look forward to tomorrow's day.
Spilling Time and Space No it's
not self pity, psychosis is a probability, do you think about lines? I
might, yes I might. You can call me asshole, friend. You can call me
friend, asshole. Love sure is tragic when you can't find an end. Do you
think about lines? I might. Grouping, a condition I'm not fond of or
able to understand. It's just turning to ink again. Like timelines
printed out on transparencies, staining every moment and it's come and
gone again. Do you think about lines? I might, yes I might.
Fallen 8
Eternity's rumble likes to smile in my face. With its 33s over 8.
That last thought, that last caress, spilled the solution, another
mess. Waiting for time to run its course. Breaking apart and wanting
more of an end to share again and again. And I'm waiting for my
friends. So fill in this blank with something other than a fallen 8.
Will She Come? Empty thoughts come empty minds and this empty head
plays eternity's song. I can feel the pain that pleasure brings,
beating death's drum. Will she come? Will she come with her empty heart?
Playing tricks on me again, disillusioned and then brought to
attention. An ugly game with a few more rounds, and I'll keep kidding
myself. Will she come? Will she come calling me? My lady death, my
eternity's song, I'm calling out for you tonight. Lost in beauty.
Staining the Air Rocky mountain, bands of lows and highs, like the
constant waves of sound, communication is
our body of life. Help me count the many times something must have died
in me again. I know you're dying, It's ok. Tired eyes would like to
sleep the life away.
Must have been the clouds that came in, little mirrors that fell at the
soil, thin lines run deep, and time bleeds a lot like ink, staining the
air. Now I see
how distorted facts have changed. The streetlights change, the sun goes
down, the fire of day turns into night, would you help me count them
one at
a time? Comfort and control reeks of death. "Radio waves curve and
cross I stand below them fools" "I really believe all the things I've
said to you
it's just that none of them are true" - nomeansno. I know you're dying,
It's ok. Tired eyes would like to sleep the life away.
