What a bore it is
To see yourself
Reflected in the eye

Lonesome smile
Where you can see
The charade
Designed like a maze
Where nobody gets out
And everyone’s stuck—
Feeling most unwell

What a bore it is
To see yourself
Reflected in the eye
Of another’s
Lonesome smile
Where you can see
The charade
Designed like a maze
Where nobody gets out
And everyone’s stuck—
Feeling most unwell
For the extra couple hours sleep
I’ll take the 50 dollar ticket thanks.
And pay it with a smile, smugly
the day after it’s due—
Some days it’s a blessing
Others it’s a curse
Today’s a bit of both
I’ll only make it worse—
Perhaps this awful feeling’s
A 50/50 split
We balance our emotions
Like Humpty Dumpty did
But come on little Lucy
Fairies don’t exist
The sky ain’t full of diamonds
Your LSD is shit
If proof deserves a reason
I’m aimless as a kid
The message in the pavement
It’s cold covered in spit—
On days that it’s a blessing
Send someone for the hearse
When truth sounds like confession
On those days it’s a curse
It was like
When I stopped wanting to forget
I started to remember
Every minute
Every second
Lost—
And everyone I gave way to that bitter beast
Now empty, yet able
To proceed where I left him
All those Long Island years ago
While she watched The Great Gatsby
And I painted her in watercolors
Poorly, but good enough
For a young drunk in his prime
If there’s blue sky in my future
Give it to me soon
These days have been a meathook
Mourning until noon
Seems things will never change
So don’t blame me if I do
If there’s blue sky in my future
I owe it all to you
Give me a second just to catch my breath
You’re cold as the Winter gonna catch your death
Each morning’s a race you better hold me down
I watch as you paint away your lovers frown—
Night falls quicker when you try to conceive
Words without action make you hard to believe
Was my first impression just a go around
Replaced by the fiction of this hippie town—
Excuse my suggestion for removing hearts
Release this suspension and we fall apart
Her name’s in your mouth like a cherry twist
My faith felt outsmarted by your lovers kiss—
So give me a second my world’s upside down
Revolving around this fucking city now
A due course of action is a simple fix
It’s easy to see now that I’m not transfixed
Thought things were getting better
But they were only getting worse
I was picking up the pieces from
A puzzle in reverse
Memories repeating like
Some incurable curse
Though what I hadn’t realized
Would soon present the worst
A method sort of acting gave
Me reason for the course
To lie between the twilight of
What’s true and well rehearsed
Yet nothing spells out treason like
Our compliments at birth
Inception feels like stardust for
Whoever’s speaking first
Perhaps what bothers most of us
Is not the tragic end
When darkness touches the dark in us
It’s there we must begin
It wasn’t ever fun
Even when it lasted
There was always hidden
A motive and agenda
Something I couldn’t figure from afar—
I needed microscopic certainty
That I’d have to disappear
In order to remember—
For them to forget—
That either of us had ever existed
I haven’t the words
Nor strength to stand
Any more
Of this illusion
Sealed in spit
And sketched by hand
Our world is done
What courage has man?
I haven’t seen you in a long time, to be frank I’m enjoying the silence.
I can’t commit to the truth it lies, cause it feels kind of like we are dying.
If I made you blue, I never wanted to.
It’s just love and our love never wasn’t.
There’s disappointment in her eyes, as he speaks she echos with silence.
Neither one is good at goodbyes still they always seem to be trying.
I will remember you, if you remember too.
It’s just love and our love never wasn’t, it’s just love and our love never wasn’t.
There’s a melody, in a harmony.
It’s just love and our love never wasn’t.
He sang to her a lullaby, she did all she could to stop crying.
They fell asleep in the moonlight, just two heartstrings played on violin.
Some day you’ll see, in a memory.
It’s just love and our love never wasn’t.
