Kys, intro

Staring at the blank walls of the room
Eyes crossed over like threads on a loom
Don’t know what to say
What’s even there to say
We’ve been lost for eons anyway
Cradle craniums in chlorinated hands
Dreams of running off to faraway lands
Do you believe in hell
The train track clatter swells
If it turned out we died wouldn’t that be swell
I’m pacing the concave cracking walls of my skull
Can’t do a damn thing to escape from perpetually feeling dull
Hey I can’t feel my toes
Or the blood running down my nose
I’ll just grab a drink and get mindless so
Here we go

Bedroom Blues

I eat the dark out the corner of my room
Then spit it out to dry
I take the ink from its webbing
And use the charcoal to smudge the skies
I need a shower ‘cause I’m broken
Use the steam to redisguise
The hurt and anger as humor
With such high heat I drown my eyes
I can’t be
Alone with me
I can’t be
Alone with me

Chicago Fire

I wanna be
The brightest star in the sky
Impossibly, immeasurably high
Imperceptible by the human eye
I wanna be
Without a care in your world
Fingerprints allowed to whirl and twirl
As I watch my spotted stomach unfurl
And I’ll still continue to pray to me
To be dashed out on the rocks beyond the shore
And bleed out a whole new body
You say you are
Just trying your best I assume
But I suppose that I shouldn’t presume
You could be leading me to an early tomb
Because you are to me
The smoking gun that massacres the crowd
The sharp wind that rips apart the cloud
The fear that keeps my tongue hog tied down
And one day I’ll know what it means to soar
I’ll no longer be what they once adored
And then I’ll exist no more

Autumn Comes Courting

Hear the pitter-patter on the sidewalk
Of our canvased feet
Sheltered under starlight
As we brave the midnight street
And I’m a waking nightmare
And you’re a beckoning daydream
And we run, and we run, and we run
Oh share a hidden smile with me
Reassure me you still wanna get lost in the trees
And when the morning comes
We’ll bear that, come what may
But for now, let's lose our memories
Oh share a hidden smile with me
Reassure me you still wanna get lost in the trees
And when the morning comes
We’ll bear that, come what may
But for now, let's lose our memories
