- Bitter Lemon Kiss
ROSES ARE RED
BRUISES ARE PURPLE
YOU GAVE ME AN OUROBOROS
AN “I LOVE YOU” IN A CIRCLE
HEAD SWALLOWS TAIL
JUST ABOVE MY HEART
ALWAYS THERE
- Blixen
I watched you fall asleep
Ran fingers though you hair
Down your shoulders
Onto your neck
Your eyes darting beneath their lids
Seeing wonderful and beautiful things
- Born To Ruin
Shake my glass
remember the past
it wasn’t that long ago
it feels like years though
First time in a bar in a town you don’t know
everyone’s a cop or criminal
or some mix of both
- Guess
Anywhere
Any place beside me
I wanted to take you
You wanted to ride
We went places
I remember nights
Where we said to each other
- Heat Helps These Flowers Grow
and i danced
alone in time
felt faithful to myself
turned inside
- Horse Head
Okay
So they symbols stand
Stamped forever
Into my skin
The black belt
The horse head
The black denim
- Lives in Hole, No Friends
there is a place
beyond the stars
where sky meets heaven
unturned / endless
eternally breathless
the serpent moon
- My Life Outside The Party
a moment in time becomes a flag held high / the pain you want / i can bring it inside / a lost race / turns in to some chase / darting in and out of the alleys and backyards / held down / and i wanted it more / i can feel the remove / the resolve / by the way you look at the floor / i’m calling you now / come on / come outside / there wasn’t a name / if there was / it would have been yours / unaware of how drastic intentions / beat a path through walls i never knew were there / many a son held this post / unwavering / unchanged / made to feel that this was the end / that there was meaning in the empty / not as we’ve been told / not as we know / step in my office / and see the truth / slide into the moment and feel my hands / in demands / we say what we mean / we don’t dance until the song is over / we hold ourselves higher than heaven / as lonely as ever / panic and love / an altar of shed skin / there wasn’t a name / and if there was / it would have been yours / the pretty girls / will all pass / and behind me there are rows / more beautiful than those that came before / a jealous man /panic and love / an altar of skin.
- No Longer N 2 U
I made what I wanted to feel what I needed and see why we crawled in the dark.
I followed the light of my heart I was never afraid to shine like I shouldn’t.
I know that I’m stronger, I feel no resistance or the passing of time. Marked out on my body forever the times that we laid in the bed or the miles that we drive.
I’m starting to think this summer will be so much different for me. Where will I go? Where will I hide? Where can I be that will keep me from falling deep into sleep? Now that I’m dreaming, it’s almost always too much to see.
All of the times that I made her cry. We were together forever before were made. Something is watching us. Even inside.
Around all the cameras in places we work.
- Purple Pain
Under a stairwell inside of a dream,
hanging on me like lights on trees.
Rain in the summer, fell through the heat.
Days were like hours, months like weeks.
I came around, jingled my keys.
Watched for cops and checked my teeth.
Collapsed in the bathroom and slept on the floor.
- Rose of Golden Crosses
HUNTER IN THE GARDEN
FIELDS OF PURPLE AND GREEN
I PUT MY HONEY IN YOUR BISCUIT
I TAKE EVERYTHING
DO I HAUNT YOU
THE WAY YOU HAUNT ME
DO YOU FIND YOURSELF SPREAD
- Stars Will Fall
stars will fall / my life is a thread / pulled back / pulling hard / my world is a tomb of beauty / of ruin / of sex / and desire / and red / the great mask / our purple king demands a handsome tribute / demands that both his hands / remain full / remain rich in the wonders of this world / though i look beyond / through the chasms of space / back to earth / sun is here / moon is there / i am between / my sister is my brother / i locked her in the pit / faith is a passion / my quiet command / sheaths of grain / bow down / with necks crooked / bow down before the last stalk / stars will fall / wrap the mind into a fallen shrine / closer to me / beside the empty time / the end is faithful / the rings are in my hand / the coldest i have ever felt / a moment cannot be divided / a secret location / my quiet command.
- Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Burn in silence
Feeling timeless
Stretch my eyelids wider still
I need to find this violence
I must end this mindless trial
So I kiss hearts like wings on angels

- You Cut Me From A Magazine I Didn't Know That I Was In
You cut me from a magazine
I didn’t know that I was in
you saw me
and gently traced the frame
With scissors and glue
at the table alone
you could make anything
