Is anyone all good, is anyone all bad
Even Hitler must have spent days in the sad
And there is an inherent taboo
Latched around every love you
That says where I cannot go
I don’t listen to lies and you should know
That I will not be restrained
From crossing divides into the pain
And seeing whats there, seeking to know
What’s behind the lines I cannot go
Because watching the mysteries darkly unfold
In every evil is a morsel of gold
That never got time to appreciate
So I love you too and forget about hate

If Satan’s a man then I want to meet him
Don’t run from the sun if you want to defeat him
And if he’s only an archetype
Then am I scared of my shadow tonight
Because bad and good are all about fear
And you put that on me, dear
Even though I only sought to be
The intrinsicality that is me
For better or worse, till death do us part
Just tell me the truth coz you do have a heart

It was an abundance of heat not a lack thereof
That’s why I’m cautious about falling in love
Because I know my passionate frame
Can degenerate from calling your name
Into a firestopping showstorm
Where the heat is inferno instead of warm
And Dante taking a trip or two
Back tracks because he was wrong about you
And never intended a journey to hell
I can’t help that I swing both ways as well
Always looking in puddles to see the reflect
Always staring at you to know what comes next
And when the decider hits the beat
I get up and go because I am complete
In and of and as myself
I’m sorry that I haven’t knelt
But if prostration’s what you need
Then you need someone else is what I believe

The victim female, I can’t identify
I do my best, you know I really try
But I get bored the longer I wait
For you to step up to the plate
So I just fucking do it myself
Save the world babe, watch me go to hell
And when its all over, when its all done
You can rest on my arm and succumb
Into the softness that I still own
But it isn’t weakness, it is my throne
To be vulnerable sensitive
Is the greatest gift I’ll ever give

Does nobody see how great I am?
All the regular folks cannot understand
And they get mad when I point it out
I’m just talking true, I’m not here to gloat
But something happens when you’ve got flair
People tell you you’re not really there
So you start to refer to a ghost
When you tell them who you love the most
But ardently and on the fence
Truth needs no defence
And stands for itself everytime
Greatness will be mine
When I stand the final blow
Then, at last, I’ll KO

I was stuck in a bell tower
And you call me your little flower
And it feels like more of the same
Does no one know my name?
Because I am made of fire and steel
Stop telling me how to feel
That I should be more genteel
I excoriate that even keel
Favoured by the normal folk
I will not shoulder the yoke
Of burdens that they always bear
There is a fabric I will tear
Of universal design
Then victory will be mine!

You couldn’t save hay in a barn, I said skeptically
As I looked at the hero in front of me
And I took to rolling eyes
At the mountains of the lies
That they tell themselves each time
A female is not made to shine
But sometimes in the hematite
She crystallises what is right
So she can lead you out again
Back into being just a friend
Because there, as all girls know
Are places that he will not go
Only respect and pay dues
But you’re still my rhythm and blues

If you jump Rose then so do I
But I didn’t come here to die
At the back end of a titanic ship
Underneath the stars in an eclipse
Because the night has been so long
But I am still the same strong
That I’ve always been in truth
Whether adulting or a youth
And I will lay my chips all down
Bet that you will come around
Turn your head so I can say
I’m never gonna go away
I’m never gonna lose the light
And I’m not going without a fight
So the Satanic can test my skin
But know this, I’d die for him.

I might’ve saved your life but you saved my soul
I intercepted the bullet and you made me whole
From the strings that they play in the harp of life
I broke in your arms and I did it twice
Because even though falling will reach an end
You pick out the pavement and I start to mend
From the crushing of a solemn defeat
Did you let me down so I’d be at your feet
Or was it accidental, unseeing and undoing
I was looking out the window and you were pursuing
Someone I think who’d never exist
The real girl on the seat was the one that you missed

We save each others ass and have each others back
When he falls down I make up what he’ll lack
But then come tripping out the door
He’ll grab my shirt and pull me up from the floor
And the forces of darkness will not subside
Til he and I combine to abide
And break the bridges that they’d make
Between us to separate
And convince the longing blues
But I was born to pay my dues
And make good on promise made
A double time to reciprocate

Subterfuge for its own sake
I’ll be here when you wake
And the monsters can come and fight
If they think they’ll take you tonight
Coz you’ve got a wound and I see it there
Even though you say I don’t have to care
And I will rise in power and fury
If God is the judge then I’ll be the jury
To send these ratbags to hell
For the crime of thinking they could tell
A Saint what he is not
The years pass but I’m still Hotshot

He’ll kill you if he catches you here
I have to send you away, my dear
And make him believe it for real
If he doubts me then what he will feel
Will lead him to trouble, will lead him to harm
And I can’t take the chance so I pull the alarm
And ring all the bells he hates to abide
I’m doing this to keep you alive
But he won’t understand and he won’t do
Anything that I tell him to
Makes it more difficult than it has to be
Just leave, dear God, if you love me
But he shatters the glass just so I know
That he’ll be waiting if I let go.

Remember that time, you got hit with a bullet, yeah, you didn’t die
Ok,
And remember that other time, when I was falling six stories, you caught me,
Oh, yeah I forgot about that
And remember then that other time, I left my keys on my desk and you found them
How is that…..
I’m just testing. Okay moving on.

I was smashed with my head on the floor
So you kicked your way in through the door
And I don’t know how the hell you knew
It was then I needed you
Though I had no name to call
You busted in through it all
And though I had been knocked out
You still took time to kiss my mouth
Before leaving me on the bed
I wake up alive instead of dead
Though not really knowing how I got there
Somebody somewhere must care
I didn’t see eyes that silently peered
Then slipped away when the danger had cleared

If anything should happen tell Clark I love him
I know we’re on the run but he thinks I’m above him
Even though to me, he’s a God in my eyes
And there’s no superhero who even tries
Or comes close to that echoed refrain
I love him the most when he’s in pain
With Kryptonite stinging though he does not say
I pull it out while looking away
So he does not know the secret he keeps
Is being held close by someone discreet
By someone who would avalanche earth
Sooner than see him in the dirt
So I avert eyes when he runs away
But that S on his chest isn’t to say
That he doesn’t hurt when he’s alone
I love you the most so I hung up the phone
And played it safe, to play the cards close
They chase me instead of the ghost
Who’s business it is to haunt these halls
Peering through people like they are walls
And when it comes to break the seal
He’ll cut me loose and I will reveal
That I have known though eons we pass
I look out for you so you can surpass
The limits they place on your dark hair
You mightn’t have noticed but I was there
To see the moment when the storm breaks
You hesitate but I do whatever it takes
To bring back an equilibrium fold
I promised you didn’t I fields of gold
And I do not stumble the words that I make
It wasn’t for them, it was for your sake
To grow back a garden you can accept
You walk your boots and I follow footsteps

I dare you to move so you take it too far
I just wanna ride in your car
As we’re burning down bridges and highways and fields
Running red lights, stop signs and yields
And the fastness just gets better each time
Like you are the bank and I am the crime
That we commit daily whenever we touch
I hush the sidewalks to love you so much
Because don’t you know its illegal as hell
To find true love so we do not tell
But keep it on edge, in a silently two
Feel my heartbeat to know I love you

He’ll never love you, it’s over, it’s done
I cried on her shoulder because he is the one
And she seemed to take pleasure of a peculiar sort
In having me as part of that cohort
To fall down on my knees and prostrate
Myself before God and another state
But even though hunger and marchings in arm
Build up defiance and false alarm
I’ve nowhere to go and no way to care
Coz whatever it is, he isn’t there
So I just fall and let me go limp
And then there’s commotion to horror the pimp
Because no other man could rise
Me to a state I wouldn’t despise
Because all would be a reminder of him
And how I left to go within
And how I managed for years and years
Never knowing in truth he cried blue tears
Without me there, without me near
And now its all so crystal clear
That I shattered the one soul I love
With my defiant cut above
And even though I hung the gate
I’m afraid he couldn’t wait
To up and out another way
Blame him, well I couldn’t say
He was wrong because would you
Wait for someone who
Had been the long gone thief
Seeking to test belief
And loneliness on the stoop
I took years to recoup
From the folly of being me
I shattered glass to be free

Do you remember our New Year’s Eve?
The one with the locket hid up your sleeve
The one with the smile resounding your face
The one night in my life that did not go to waste
But the following day was a shattering storm
And I lay in bed to keep myself warm
Hearing the windows and the latches all smash
You whispered in ears; I’m not coming back
And I bowled up inside and I curled in a ball
Please let him come to call
But I know and I knew what wasn’t to be
The choosing was done and it wasn’t me
So when I rose and went to the edge
My voice it was even but my soul it was dead
Without the fire which heretofore
Had given meaning absent before
And now in the ashes left in the wake
I wonder of waves despues the quake
And even in hunger, even in lies
You are something I could never despise
No matter what you ever could do
The home in my heart is always for you
And even though I resist the defence
I’m praying you answer where the love went
Because the truth always will be
Come hell or high water, interminably

It came so close to almost, it was almost by degrees
And when I come to think on it, I’m always on my knees
Always whispering the knight on the shining steed
Always telling the universe exactly what I need
But when it was gifted right into my hands
I was all untimely and angry demands
As to how to be, as to how to act
But he took his love away and now I can’t have it back
Because its in another heart, its in another home
And now I feel stupid because the one alone
Is the one who thought she never could be left
But the loser is the one who leaves is what she said

You know I scare myself sometimes
So I hold back when you slip your hand in mine
Because what if the vampire within
Were to slip out at him
And he is so gentle soft
All ardently and held aloft
And I would do to damaged skin
Another wound if I hurt him
So I hesitate the fold
To see if he has got the gold
And when he will react, react
Then I forget I’m stepping back
And run for cover and the trees
Why all these stinging bees
When I only sought to love
My safe haven turtle dove

I’ve always been hot (coz I’m a fire sign)
I tend to take things that are mine
And when someone questions what I say
I fuck them out of the way
Its just the way I roll
I’m all heart and soul
But to misunderstand
You must follow my command
And I laugh in a silent whisper
When he wonders what to give her
Coz I’ll take it anyway
Baby, you don’t have to pray

When anger is outlawed then the people go mad
The men get aggressive and the women sad
And the truth gets cloaked in superfluity
Just spit out what you say to me
Coz I know its there behind the lines
And I’m not scared of undermines
I’m not afraid of truth
I was a sacred youth
Looking for the perfect fire
So I could be the something higher
And when they tell you to shut up shop
Then I’ll turn to bad cop
To pilfer their piercing sighs
With mountains of I didn’t tries
And they will regret my friend
The day they thought that they could end
The honesty and child in you
I’m down for this if you are too

When I’m pissed I grit my teeth
And you know what that leaves me with
Cracked enamel and in between
Bloody gums and broken dreams
So instead of being the perfect powder
Sitting silent in a doubter
I think I may just up and blow
So that you might let go
Stop holding my spirit down
To know my depths is to drown
So if you can’t handle that
Then you better watch your back

Bottomless pits and other ideas
Like talking to a fool like you
Who knows next to naught at all
But you tell me who to call
And that everything must hit the diff
I think I’ll smoke a fucking spliff
Just to piss you off
Don’t tell me all is lost
When you know as well as I
That your whole life is a lie
And I ain’t buying the bull you sell
You know what, go to hell

The Twin Flame divide
I rush in with the morning tide
But get pulled back out again
And now we’re not even friends
Because the lies have built a wall
And I can’t break through it all
Though it crumbles by degrees
When I fall upon my knees
Pray to God and the King
Give him back, he’s everything

I haven’t kissed a man since two thousand and five
And I haven’t felt inclined since you came into my life
Because you are better and more deep and pure
And I was born to be demure
Always hopping the crosswalks
And you always said that money talks
So I keep my paper clean
I hope that you pierce my dream
And come in like before
I know that you’ll love me more
Than you did the first time round
Because now you know the sound
Of the true love blues
The gangsters are after yous
And even though you call me names
You know that I play no games
The master has been you
To make the moves like you do
While I watch from afar
Always wishing on a star
To bring him back again
At least he could be my friend
And know that I never lied
It just Truth you haven’t tried

Never thought I’d meet my final match
A man to meet who meets me back
And I’ve always been independently
Walking the best of me
But secretly in my heart
I longed for my other half
But when you came around
I shuddered to hear the sound
Because it was earthquake thunder
An ocean and I’m going under
No merman to ink my skin
But in truth I’m in love with him
Holding back the words to say
Can I come with you today?
As you pounce like a panther
Then the divide set in like cancer
Coz something that I didn’t see
Is that you felt the same for me
And when I walked my heroed boots
It pulled you up at the roots
Like a quilt that comes asunder
I never thought to call your number
Because you had mine
You and me for all of time

I’ll fight any man
I do it coz I know I can
Watch me karate chop
I’ll show you what I’m not
And you’ll see what I am
I hope you can understand
Why I’m not your little girl
I was born to rock your world.

If I ain’t then I ain’t
You’ll hear no complaint
But let me go easy, let me go free
You’ll hear no Oath of Allegiance from me
And when the worlds come washing long
Its then you’ll see that I am strong
Never suffering the fool
Didn’t they teach you that in school?

I’m okay but I’m still stressed
So if you’re asking then that’s a yes
Because the boxes turn in on their edges
I’m a grasshopper cutting hedges
Running with the wolves and lines
Breaking boxes all the times
But whenever I do just that
I get hit with my hitting back
I get stung with my come undone
A legacy of being young
And sensitive by degrees
I wonder will they talk to me’s
Or be ignored again, again
God damn I wish I had a friend
Even though when I do
I say eeyeugh I don’t want you
And push them far and wide away
I still hear what they say
That humans are complex beings
The never trust what you’re seeings
And unfold into the light
I think I’ll choose the dynamite

There was nothing to doubt til I sought to confirm
And that my friend is called stroking the worm
That is called taming the beast
I up and out before I’m deceased
Before the fire burns my skin raw
Or the ice in me gets a chance to thaw
I will rise above the state
Previously known as dissipate
Previously known and heretofore
As who I was before
Before I came to be
The stepping in that’s out of me
The stepping on that is gone
The Laura that will be strong
Instead of hammered by the blows
That every one of those boxers throws
And in that impingement of desire
I become the one to conspire
I become the set alight
I am not one to fight
But hear ye, here ye and know
Don’t come around me to go

My anger burns to see the lies
My anger burns, the hero dies
As I lay him on a slab
But you can’t bring him back with feeling bad
Only realise the source
I cut him off without remorse
Because he did not tell the tale
I raised my flags and set sail
To another pride filled land
Of reasons that are underhand
All for what I thought I knew
Did I ever look at you?
Or only see my reflect
In your eyes as suspect
And shot in plain sight and view
My rebound hit back from you
And splintered souls of their own making
It was love that I was taking
It was demonic I was waking
It was innocence forsaking.

Don’t rain on my parade you fools
I beat the best of cocaine schools
And I will rise to take your bait
Do not leave it up to fate
Or you will feel the burn
When the needle’s set to turn
And my eyes are set to pale
A genius can never fail
Only learn how to be wrong
And guess what, I’m rising strong
To hold back a tide of water
I will not sit any longer
But humdrum the other locks
Tulips and Forget Me Nots

Stop hurting people, stop not caring
Or you will see that I am daring
And will move as quick as nick
To pull the rug from under it
For though you may be so sure
I will stand for the pure
And shatter dreams and illusions
Shatter eons of profusions
That outlet and that let die
You will come to meet my eye
And feel the serious I rest
I am the eternal quest
For what’s right, for what’s just
And honesty is a must
So get down from your high horse there
See these eyes, I’ll break your stare

My friends are afraid of dynamite
And I am afraid to blow up alright
Because I know when I come to exploding
It’ll be eons that I am eroding
To pulverise and pull away
The masks that cover what we say
And hide the innocence by degrees
Get the fuck up off your knees
And stand for what you know is right
Because I’m setting it alight
And you can be the fury fuel
Like when we kicked it in school
Always haunting the hallways
Of debutantes and runaways
But there comes a subtle fight
Behind the lines of kryptonite
And the warriors wear glasses too
Make sure they don’t catch you
Because there rides on this a scene
To capture and to undream
To break and to unfurl
Who saves the girl who saves the world

666, the sign of the Beast
The sign of me signed, sealed and deceased
But I’ve been running from my shadow for so long
I hardly even know where I went wrong
Always hopscotching lines to be so nice
Then getting knocked out by the sugar and spice
And knuckle sandwiching my own face
Beset by disease and lies and disgrace
Til finally I see the flaw
That raps me sideways across the jaw
The fear of what I may come to be
I am afraid of the Devil in me
I was afraid to utter names
Lest He be hid in those games
But I’m not a fan of fantasy
I keep looking for Him but there’s nothing to see
Because its all a lie to keep us in line
Who tells it is harder to define
But I know one thing and I know it for sure
If you stand up then you see the pure
And whatever may be will fall behind
No, I’m not out of my mind
I’ve just revolved my heart and soul
And Voldemort can kiss my hole

Study for your exams before you take ’em
Look at the person before you forsake them
Because all may not be as it appears
And I am crying diamond tears
To reflect your perfect shards
The rainbow in the house of cards
That falls whenever the wind blows
He comes around before he goes
And my hands are not stone strong
I wonder how I did it wrong
When I only sought to be
The best of love emotionally
And I thought he would admire
The way I set the world on fire
Instead of punishing the flames
That rise in snakes from surnames
For though you may be all Air
Aries burns with its own flair
So take me not to town for this
I’m myself, that’s all it is
As people pull me to and fro
I SWEAR I will not go!
And I suppose to be misled
When you were only in my bed
Thinking of the vast divine
And roses that would be mine
When the folly comes to be
Its fine, just blame it on me

You’re like a drink of water on a hot day
I’m thirsty as fuck and you don’t go away
You just hold your hand out to me
Wait there until I trust what I see
And coax me slowly out of my shell
The others can see but they do not tell
Half of what they think they know
The thing about you is that you do not go
Even when I falter the edge
You brush it off like strands on the ledge
And I can tell honestly that you believe
That givers know best when they receive
And lovers must for a time or two
Be taken in love for it to flow through
And rebuild the story that someone would break
“It’s not your fault, they don’t know what they take
When they take it all from hands that shake
Its not for you but everyone’s sake”
And I fall into eyes that blaze me honest
“I’m no genius but you can trust me on it
I’ve been round the block a winter or two
I’m in love with a hero and here’s looking at you.”
*raises glass
Thank you <ℑ

I’m not a fan of castigation though I’d say I have friends
I have a power deep inside and Lord knows it never ends
But when they place me in a box and put a stamp on my head
I fire up my pistols and leave ’em all for dead
But it never does me any good because the time comes around
When the mob is all gung ho and I hear a ringing sound
And as the shot fires out into the cold, dead night
I feel a burning in my chest and my heart is set alight
By the fuming of their words, by the hatred in their veins
Why is it that I am beset with hunger pains?
When the other is starving for beast or bread or money
I lie there all bent up and Christ it isn’t funny
To be so undone and so beaten down
Do you know there was a time when I ran this town
And maybe I must give up the kinging in my blood
For a chance to be sacred, you know, really good
In actuality, not just in defiance
So fuck your suitable, I’m the queen of non-compliance.

The devastation of not being us
I’m afraid but I still trust
Even though there’s nothing to go on
I’m praying you’re not gone
Because you were all that I could see
When there was a human talking to me
With such intensity I could barely focus
Gravity shifted, now you are the locus
So I hang on all you do not say
And I philosophise your going away
Making degrees out of trash
For sure he will come back
But each day at the dock leaves me cold
Your boat went out and never came home
