He wants to mean something to me But he was just a dream that never got to be And now he self flagellates That he never took the girl on dates And he makes do with what he has But most of the time he just feels bad That he settled for Someone he could never adore Only ever be useful to And she’d skull the devil to get to you Because you’ve got that verdant green And arches her back the way it had never been Before And the shore May be a more sunny shade of grey But you and I were never that way So I take the bull by the horns But something warns Me to just let it go He’s not what you think, you know And he rained bloody blue hell On the summer of wishing me well And I don’t know if he can tell But when I fell I fell hard And let the bard Inside of me run loose But she has run out of juice And gets by on mere gasoline I wonder does she ever scream When you make her high I wonder does she feel you When you wanna die Like I do I’m miles away and the needle pulls through On another thread I don’t want to be witness to someone else’s bed But I feel it all And I forestall The grief For mere belief In who I am to be You won’t make a whore out of me
I watch it fly into the sky And, you know, everyone cry But not everyone wakes while they live It happens when you forgive That girl who took a lightning strike And aimed it at me but, like, I turn it into some kind of illumination And now every tv station Plays my tune Like I’m the only one in the room And I meet someone I would like To meet in the dead in the night Sneaking out into the grass I didn’t think our love would last But it’s been fifteen years And we’ve weathered rain clouds emptied of tears As they fall on us And I trust Him to do just what he craves But he’s the Superman who saves Me from the boring grey He is like a sun ray That sets all the colours a throb And I give him what he wants to rob From me And dignity Won’t keep this secret quiet It’s always been a riot In that avenue And his blue Offsets my red Til we’re white light in bed Making one with the serene This is beyond the dream And they say twin flames reside In the place where duality hides Its face from something so pure He’s what I bank on and I know for sure That we’ll always be eternal prose And he might be the one who chose Me, but on my side I’m just glad he’s alive In this incarnation And my education Taught me to always say no But with him I’m like, let’s go And get on with the show You claim to make But I’ll be no oven to bake Some buns for the eating I gotta be the one you’re keeping For forever in a sigh Our love will never die
I saw the shadow of my soul in the indent of his eyes
I took it on the chin and it took me by surprise
Like the sun and the moon forever apart
Until that time of day when they both take heart
And you’re not a perfect person, I could list your flaws
And there is an ice inside that never thaws
But I saw you in the ash though you hid in the smoke
And you handed me a fiver when I was going broke
But I am no beggar, at least not anymore
And I am tired of knocking at the same damn door
When I know the truth is this, you’re not who I sought
Although you just might be the best lie I ever bought
I keep tryin to fix it
When its not broken
Everybody knows
You can’t speak the unspoken
Everybody knows
You can’t be the unborn
Only relinquish
The clothing of form
