Pariah

When you call my name
Do you mean it?
Does it matter?
I know how I feel
My heart is an open palm
It beats when you call me
It beats when you squeeze it

The message is clear to me
Nothing matters
Nothing flatters
When I want it to
The shackles of time
And the ones in my mind
Are magic
And magic, I can't explain
Like why I pain for freedom
Though I don't know what it is
Never knew

Never knew
Never knew...

...Since I always belong to you

The maze you and I create
Full of smoke and mirrors
And hunted killers
The writing is on the wall
And we got the font all wrong

Childhood

I didn't know

HUH.

Faster than you know
Is the faster that I go
No reason to stop, no reason to grow
The hills and the lows
Are the purpose of the show
I give you my all
No wonder you go

Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
Hah!
Demon beamin'

Love on the stone
Dancing all alone
I dance how I want
I'm writing a new font
Hieroglyphics are terrific
When no one can read 'em
And those who do
Are the ones we rue

Good Luck

Left my key on the nightstand there
No number or address by the way
I'll bunk around the beach, no copy on me
So I'm gonna need you to bring me home

Clues to find me are laid bare
Littered across the room we shared
In the misty mirror of a hot shower
Laced in the water of our potted flowers

Given my thoughts
And given my time
I'd rather not waste my life
Giving it all to you

Last November, I remember
That nothing goes forever
For devils in angel's clothes
Undressing in stranger's rooms

Break down doors, lost in you
I can't find it
In my mind, there's a place
That you won't go
Where you won't fight

Future Days

There are long days

When my mind is gone

And a song comes on

That makes me think of you

I forget that I forgot

What I was thinking about

And I think about you

What it feels like

To be close to you

To have your lips close to mine

Tethered by an embrace

Of a leisure day's pace

Even if it only lasts for minutes

There's nothing much like it

To feel at home so far away

To bring my soul closer to future days
