You came
You saw
you conquered it all
I watched
in fear
as you made your assault
There is no mercy in you heart
your eyes like knives
straight into mine
I know that this is the last time
we'll meet
before your tear me apart
You're vain
insane
with one thing on your mind
You'll have what you'll have
and I'll never get it back in kind

don't imply it's a favor
don't say it like you care
don't play it like you want to
I know it's not the truth
It's not fair
No not another word
from you...
Psychological abuse
you don't want me
you don't want me
but you keep
You keep on taunting
tossed aside just like old news
Don't act appalled by the suggestion
It really
is not that far off
base
the energy from bad intentions expelled is such a waste
If I were you
and in your shoes
I'd recognize
that I can't lose

Notice!

(ahhh)
I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to notice me
Took a picture on my own
on my phone
Of me alone
Tell me are you lonely
Could you fill
the frame
would you feel the same
Want to be my one and only?
are you distracted
am I over reacting?
perfecting all this practice
in the art of attraction

Got eyes on the prize
like EVerybody else
When the victor's annouced
I'll keep it to myself
Cause it's mine
it's mine
Put that in your mind
go and find yourself an alternative
Control your temper
Show me some effort
Tantalized by the prize
That's sitting on the shelf
I'm gonna win
whatever sin
I commit I'm keeping to myself
Cause it's mine
it's mine
Put that in your mind
go and find yourself an alternative
It's Go time
with no excuse
Victory is yours
Let them lose
grace is misplaced
in this case
let them taste
bitter defeat and
purr misery

I want you the most
out of everyone I know
Everybody needs to fall in love
in the pathology of hooking up
Make me suffer if you please
I can handle love's disease
You're the contagion
I ain't craving a remedy

Perfect Torture

Phone in the crisis
Get the doctor on the line
You swear you're feeling well
but my dear, you don't like fine
I can tell by the way the water is glassing up your eyes
You didn't expect this
at least not tonight
Nothing ever goes as planned
everyday is a struggle just to find out you can't
keep going on
in the way you hoped
all you can do is learn to cope
You weren't invited back
a second time
after everything was well
and you thought the stars aligned
with the moon and the heavens
into correct order
now you see that it was the
perfect torture
you were set up to endure
Maybe if you wish and hope and pray
tomorrow will be better than today
maybe if you wish and hope and pray
you'll die.

I will not be
unfaithful
distasteful in any way
I will exercise/ apply full self control
I will not be
unwilling
my feelings
will be shared
As long as we pretend we're adults.
Don't wait up for me
you'll never get to sleep
My word is good
if it's understood
I cannot tell the truth
it's your call what you choose to believe.

Luna Vista

The sunlight
hits your eyes
adjusting
because you must
to the daytime
though you prefer
to spend your life
in darkness
If you could you would
turn the world
upsidedown
use The stars as guideposts
to lead you around
Everything looks better
when it's shielded by the night
inthe blackness a dying spark shines really bright
Giving you hope
Draw the curtains closed
and block unwanted rays
from taking space on the carpet to your window pane
Color an afterthought
it's mute, and for you enough
you'll settle
for a modicum
of stability
If the poles were reversed
Maybe you would be kind
Maybe you wouldn't feel so cursed
and shy away from everything
The sunlight
hits your eyes
Wekcome to real fucking life

Resolute
03:10

It's a new year
and we've got our mission
try our best to stick to them and make better bad decisions
Revise, rewrite
for a moment for all time
don't assume you'll get it right
write/craft a post and publicize (and we're doing it online)
It's a new year
We practice our traditions
We can't seem to get away from those same damn bad decisions
Lies
nothing ever changes
The calendar says to restart
we'll pretend everything's new again
until the same old shit rips it apart

Kiss and Tell
02:32

an I be..
your one and only
baby
I need more than a maybe
so sway
me
Kiss and tell
you might as well
Shout it to the world
I don't mind
Being defined
by the fact
that I'm your girl
Will you stick around forever
and after
and warm my heart
with the sound of your laughter
Light my eyes with the curves of your smile
will you hang out with me, a while?
Even when it seems like dreams
I'm screaming with joy
I can't believe you're here with me
and proud to be my boy..

Around the Bend

Send my heart out to the world
waiting for it's return
A fire trail follows
I watch the oceans burn
Soon
soon
it's gottabe
There's nothing real left for me here
set the sails, disappear
Reaching to the standard
of everything that matters
I can only hope to be
half as good as what you see
seeking to inspire
and focus my desires
Persistence pays off in the end
Iknow it's just around the bend
wear my faith out on my sleeve
Convinced that I must believe
that something good will happen
Some form of karmic magic
