Scratch That

if you scratch that scab it will bleed all over your white dress
if you pull that string it will unravel and wrap you in a tight mess
they say leave it alone
but i won't let it go
oh leave it alone.....
i'll take a swim in the sun's core
naked skin
make it blister burn
but i will never learn
i'll follow you through every twist and turn
it's none of my concern
but i will never learn
they say leave it alone
but i won't let it go
and since when was logic the best defense
against
love and other nostalgic nonsense
leave it
or face the consequence
leave it
there's always consequence
they say leave it alone
but i won't let it go oh leave it
leave it alone

Factory

she had plans of a dream job
but instead is knitting socks
in front of the soap box
tv screen
thinking
but ignoring
the feeling this is so boring
that it makes you wanna scream!!
we are a factory
run inefficiently
[why are you pushing me, why are you pushing me]
we are a factory
run by society
[why are you pushing me, why are you pushing me]
there's so many babies in this world
we don't need anymore
like their parents grow up crazy
or a lazy snore
screaming in the grocery store
clean your room & do your chores
no i don't like this any more than you do.
we are a factory
run inefficiently
[why are you pushing me, why are you pushing me]
we are a factory
run by society
[why are you pushing me, why are you pushing me]
a sister for ....
every brother
pop them out one after another........

Stalking in my sleep
02:40

i was talking in my sleep
apparently i shared some things
i should have kept to myself
in my dream she was sitting on a sofa
underneath the ocean's glass shelf
i couldn't reach
only watch from the beach
sure i could dive in
and disturb this perfect scene
but you just looked so serene
without me
what would you do with this new information
it's only unconscious imagination
open for loose interpretation
i was walking in my sleep
i left the door wide open
and you were woken by the breeze
damaged but not broken
whispered but not spoken
you beg come back to me please
my side of the bed cold
vacant as my head
i prefer it here instead....

For the Feathers
02:42
|
|||
|
in your mind
you're in ocean bird
fallen behind
the flock
an old soul
winding back the clock
are they birds of prey?
an owl
prowl
by night
hide by day
in your heart
you're an eagle
slaughtered for the feathers
if apart they think they're beautiful
they should see them together
as you soar overhead
back to the sun
they're out to the sheds
to get their guns....
they've already won.
and are they scavengers
licking off the lot
digging through the crumbs you forgot

Captain Lonebug

dive into the heart of the storm
say give me all you've got
but if it's war you want
you'd better give it thought
or it's nothing but a bore
or a shame
to end up at the same shore
Let it rain
Let it pour
you're always sinking at the same shore
so you've never walked a block in another's shoes
say too small so sorry sad excuse
until you've had blisters
until you've sang the blues
until you've heard the whispers
of nothing more to lose
let it rain let it pour....
you were a shipwreck
waiting to happen
hello goodbye captain.

i'll never tell
never tell
hold my hopes in this empty shell
until i can sell them to the wishing well
i wished you hell wished you hell
to the bottom i fell
let the dark overwhelm
in the wishing well
thoughts i cannot quell
only dwell
in the wishing well
the trouble with wishing wells...
i wish you hell wish you hell wish you hell

make me a harness
fit with
love
take me out for walks
around the block
show me off to neighbors and friends
it's sad and it's funny how she
pulls at the end
all the wasted hours spent on this
obedience training
that won't sink in
it doesn't make sense
it doesn't make sense
and now you have to take me out
rain or snow
so put on your best clothes
put on your best clothes....
no one told you it'd be so hard holding
love on a leash
keeping love as a pet
but now you know
and you won't forget
now you know
now you know.
