Dust of the needle ground to dull The cast of the street light drawn so pale Motion is timeless, impossible speed Contained in the rows we planted the seed Counting my fingers, an abacus sort Pointing my index out You’re so warm it…

Piece together phrases missing letters Sharpening your senses like my scissors Prime the Trojan horse and battering ram Find an empty vault instead of the plans Like a magazine, cut up lines to feed A ransom note for you to Read and then…

Polishing the silver tongue and straightening the tie Born to wear the lions mane and mingle with the vile White Mercedes on the lawn the party’s in the back And by the time the guests are gone your eyes are painted black. Racing to the…

Hey y’all let’s go tanning, under the new fake sun Let’s spin the brand new single, if you can’t hide we run From the safety of knowing Look outside it is snowing Who knew it got so cold, who knew it got so cold, And now I caught the…

Stroll past the neon signs on the buildings of Tokyo With its sand castle skyline making a b-line to shelters down below Thin paper models and army men cast in green The flickering light of a calcium torch rising up on the silver screen…

Where did you go, man on a mission, path of omission Out of control, lack of contrition, where did you go You hid the clouds, black helicopter, waiting forever A man the crowd, a plant or an actor, where did he go You were caught there…

All the eyes are staring at me Flay the sacrificial lamb Angry barking dogs in cubicles Are lining up to bite my hand Pouring meds right down our throats And surfing the big sad Lashing out a spiteful scrape ‘cause everyone’s on edge…

Cross my heart, and hope to live forever If we’re wishing we might as well jump Bittersweet, sepia tones rolling down the canyon, Turning my head So long this long refrain So long we’ll meet again Flying past though leave no trails…

Queen maybe doors ajar, shall we take dinner and a movie Can’t wait for shooting stars, when all the galaxy’s for choosing One step to the floor One step maybe more King certain in cement, no phantom stair to keep you guessing, Your…

Can you feel it, in your teeth It is hiding, smoldering In the shadows, of your mind Where there's smoke there's surely fire Are you evil, in disguise Feel the acid, start to rise Ever shameful, hide the guilt Always lapping at the flames…

Pointed sextant toward the north star True direction is where you are Roads of Rome lead to elsewhere Can we go, no echo, no opinion Unreal show, on your phone, no one’s watching A din of quiet desperation Soothing blanket fort vacation…

Bit the apple through the core, then made sure to taste the poison You can’t fare thee well no more, when you’re out on the horizon’s edge Don’t stare at the sun, an Icarus flight, we’re all meant to come, back down. Shoot an arrow off…

Out in the field I spy a rabbit One of the ordinary kind You never thought you’d meet the neighbors, did you You never thought you’d take a drive I see you now you’re running fast You’re turning inside out Caught the blade, shovel’s edge…

When the shivers go right down your spine like a river Or the whiplash from turning your head to the coast Brace, the stormfront breaching outside, Every tree, bends like a dragons tail We lean our bodies toward the headwinds turning our…

I came awake to watch the sun drop Counting fortunes in the stars hope for aurora borealis Or freeze inside just where we are I don’t know what you know There is no Rosetta Stone We left the party in the garden I’d stay, but couldn…

In the fading light, I compose a line And then tongue tied tangled down upside Unbroken Unspoken Better than the words I would have stumbled over If you read my eyes, you could catch my vibe Then I wouldn’t have to die inside

How’s the saying go, isn’t it an echo or a stain But words get telephoned, caught up in some other’s long refrain Heavens catch your gaze, barter for your faith, how pretty the horizon How far does it go, the unintended consequence of sight…

Hold my hand get through this I dissect your iris And behind the lens there is an omen Here I thought I knew you But I’m stuck on preview You were hiding in my peripheral vision In my dreams, reaching forward, falling backward, out my…

Your fear took the sky away, we’re stumbling in the dark You ran to the mountain top, sounding the alarm I’ll hold the mirror at the other end, a jewel from it hung sword points highest to the emperor’s sun A clash of the heavens pair…
