As Autumn Falls As autumn falls
a chill will chase the wind
Weak fragile leaves one by one descend
Black branches writhe
as the pale eye blinks behind
Reach out to me
silhouette, skeletal dream
Bratty Girl Poor dolly, lying on its back
The cold rain gently drizzles outside
The bags are ready, lunch is packed
"But no one's here. Where's my ride?
I hope they've got the address right."
Poor dolly, bored and cracked
The windows groan with an ancient low
Ever After Fading His name might burn my mouth
if I speak it too loud
So instead I'll motion silently
Though...can he see?
His voice can sometimes make me cry
I haven't really figured out why
Something about his softly spoken understanding words-
Hid and SickOne, two, three, four
Fat rain falling on my…
Three, six nine, twelve
There’s no way that they’ll find me
crawling through the muck
with the bugs and the bruises
Knots within my gut
Can’t get far enough
I Shall Not Care When I am dead
and over me bright April
shakes out her rain-drenched hair
Though you should lean above me
broken-hearted, I shall not care
I shall have peace
as leafy trees are peaceful
Left Unsaid Remembering the night,
the night we watched the moon burn out,
you turned to me and smiled
and touched me with flowers
I wanted to tell you
but the bells were too loud
Some things are better left unsaid
Nightlong Long ago I saw her
spinning slowly by herself
in some room full of strangers in some strange town
Spin around and look at me, please
Come to see and speak with me
"Life is lonely," someone said, but I was spellbound
and could only nod my head
Parade of BodiesStanding in the shadows
where I know I belong
I watch the slither,
the glam and the glitter
of the parade
Put on your skin
and all you make-up too
Pretty boys and bang-up girls
Shade of Grey Open eyes
roll out of bed again
and go through the motions
awake and unconscious.
look in the mirror
there I am again
feeling so empty
the greyest shade of sick.
Such Are Mirrors Where is the beauty in rainbows?
When everything I see is in black and white
With each of my words I kill yet another
Like pieces of stained glass, they are all different
yet still part of the same window
In the garden of the dying season
the pieces were scattered
The Cycle Horris lost and found a girl
with flecked eyes like a rook
There was nothing in his world
A soul-less life she took
Down the stairs that wound around
she showed her love the maze
Then set on him to guard a hound
The Tiny Drawer Open, open for me
Clumsy little fingers forcing
lock and key
Wonder what's inside?
This is my new game
No one's come along here since
last I came
And here I come again
Theanna The sun shone like fire on sand
To me she ran, lacing fingers
likening destiny to her hand
She was young for one so old
Not caring, I still wonder
So long dead, long ago, so I’m told
Theanna, Theanna
To Lure the Swans and FliesFear and compromise
to lure the swans and flies
Did anyone see the light
die from my eyes?
Wake me from this dream
this nightmare of you
And rip lust from my mind
Union Stagnation my kingdom
Solitude my bride
Alone to govern
what I can no longer see
Silent…my empire lies quiet
Cold…denied, torn, like never before
Your Shroud of Turin If I came to you dirty,
would you wash my face?
Would you keep my impression?
If I came to you crying,
would you wipe my tears?
Would you tell me about forever?
