Sheets of Glass

I might be alive
or dead but satisfied
never looking
in mirrors
your sensitive eyes
reacting to the shine
are more beautiful
than before
wash away
in the rain
slide along the waves
like sheets of glass
expect any day
a major weather change
clouds will fold
into suns
the road's paved with pain
but I'd hate to walk away
your soft red lips
give direction
heart's lost in your head
so easy
love's not in your brain
whatever they say
thank god
love is never sane

Ornament

it's a matter of time forgotten
childhood ideal we left behind
or set aside
listen to the water freeze
on your face
all the leaves on the tree
shine them up and set them free
one by one
they will fall off
eventually
just as long as you confide in me
and me in you
I'd go a lifetime without light
but not one day without you
here's the truth
listen to the falling tears
on your face
ornaments on the tree
smash them up
and set them free
nature's order is restored
mysteriously

The Curse
03:08

my mouth is shaping
around the perfect words
that I say to soothe you
if they don't bring you down
cause when I yell
and when I scream
I'm usually alone
and you say "listen, baby
life's not really half as bad
as you've known"
I wish I didn't love you
but I do
cause the curse upon me has to
burn you too
I know it's only a feeling
and they say it ain't right
to think yourself singled out
for a horrible life
but people love their dreaming
like me they make no sound
cause if you knew what I'm feeling
you wouldn't want me around

Lazy Thing

here with the heat
of a newborn star
rising around our heads
I could pull the air down
that's left in the sky
ask and I won't
go too high
cause when you need to
hold me close to you
I'll settle down in your arms
and be your lazy thing
your steady breathing
is always there
a rhythmic ride
up the stairs
look back down
on the white pointed sun
ask and my work
will be done
sleep mimicking
a life after death
sleepless love
and limitless breath
