Move Me (a song)
I see you, and I just stare.
You touch your own skin
Singing your song, dancing away, spinning my world, feeding decay.
You move me, and I'm trapped in.
Now they stand still
Watching me drown, feeling the cold, whither the sun, wish I'd been told.
If I had the voice to tell you all along,
That I've longed to hold you, and I can't go wrong
But I'm late to save this; for as the flowers die away,
I'm gone.
Now I'm empty, knows her summer.
Forgetting the solstice,
melting my heart, fearing she drowns, keeping apart, the guilt I've found.
Spread your fingers
Having my key, turning the door, open for me, healing what I bore.
and if the flowers die away, I'm gone
and if the flowers die away, I'm gone.
Pristine Princess (a song)
Pink dresses and your wet dreams corrode my lust for you.
Perfect bliss, or so it seems, with cherries on the icing.
Kiss the night away, soaking your lips in gasoline.
Utter the words that keep you clean, while roses burn in my garden.
Find your way. Try to cut the surface.
Open wounds where maggots dither the sweetness of your blood.
Pristine princess sold her life. She dove into the sadness
Which in turn creates denial.
Ants caress the little carcass of your hope.
Guilt comes flocking, feasting on porcelain remains.
Stain your eyes, watching all the faults you've made.
Find your way. Try to reach the surface.
Drowning in the wine where self- obsession's vile and cold.
Pristine princess sold her life. She dove into the sadness
Which in turn creates denial.
Pristine princess waved goodbye. Parading sullen faces as she
Crossed to claim her prize.
You are free now. Are you free now? You will always be with me...
Is my princess happy now? Floating on the thoughts she made.
Is my princess happy now? Floating for her soul to wake.
Is my princess happy now? Fighting for another day.
My Frozen Heart
I close my eyes and let a thousand voices pass in and out of my ears.
Advisers, jesters, princes, knights, I just stare and look at her.
She touches her skin, silk running smoothly 'round her body.
She dances, spinning to the soft plucking of the harp. She shines and
she lights my eyes. An angel from the sky, she looks at me, and stares
Everyone is in glee. Not a single vermin is sad, but me. She see's my
empty eyes. She sees the cold solstice where I am trapped in. She knows
her summer, but I know more of my winter. I taste the flakes and she feels
the warmth of her season. If I can only touch her, and feel the warmth too.
I sit, just my frozen heart that keeps me away from her. I fear of melting
and then drowning her with these tears I've kept for years.
Does she have my key? Will she open it up for me?
If I Can Sleep
Sleep now sleep;
Recalling what you said.
If I can sleep forever in this
Comfortable bed.
Wondering eyes, wonderin' what my
Thoughts and I conspire.
They tied you to the crosses
and protected it with fire.
It's a beautiful world out there:
Rising buildings from the soil
Where the natives have to stare.
His eyes bleed from the sun,
Toiling night, and toil by day.
Carry mother loads to the barn,
Plus a glass of lemonade.
Well, I feel warm with this pillow and my sheets.
Cold, without a blanket, now he's dieing on the streets.
If I can sleep forever,
Shut it down, and hide the thoughts in my head.
Soon you'll wake and we'll see together
What they've said, underneath this bed.
Trusting mhy, trustin' in the lies
What they perspire:
Mixed and twisted, what you've listed
On your ballot box sire.
Cuff me up, lose my sleep
Check my color, make a call, and do arrest protocol.
Check your shoes, and the sweaters,
All the pants, may I see.
Look inside for the KID who's worth a dollar fifty.
Come to my bed and take the gifts
That you "need."
So African babies die of AIDS;
So why heed?
Sleep now, sleep.
Recalling what I said.
If you can sleep forever in this
Rusty old bed...
