Harpoon

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

This will take some explaining but I think you will agree
There is no use pretending that there’s hope for you and me

And I love her, but do you think she can see
When I tell her, it’s the end for you and me
It was over, ever since you went and shot me

Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart…

Like...

Cautioners

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

The time I would spend with pictures I would not send.
I watched you go from left to right.
I followed you all night across my blinds.
You’ll change your mind come monday and turn your back on me.
You’ll take your steps away with hesitance.
Take your steps away from me.
I’m making my peace, making it with distance.

Pay attention.
stop paying for regret.
fossil resources all used up.
make the best use of your time.
you could be on to something.
too skeptic too tired to care.
they all seem to know at once.
sweet muse left me all alone.
there’s only my weight left.
euthanasia could be the greatest gift.
wait outside your...

The time
I would spend with pictures
I would not send
I watched you go
From left to right
I followed you all night
Across my blinds
You’ll change your mind
Come Monday and
Turn your back on me
You’ll take your steps away
With hesitance
Take your steps
Away from me
I’m making...

What Would I Say To You Now

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

Still sitting there with your legs crossed,
not paying attention to me.
If we talk, just curious, would this end up like it always does?
All the wrong I’ve done.
All the wrong I’ll do.
Keeps me from trying.
It keeps me quiet.
Throw out your arms to each side.
It’s easier to let things go.
When we talk...

She’s perfect in her own way.
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey.
She’s perfect in her own way.
Shining, stepping off a silver train.

Now I’m getting your sick taste in my mouth
from the medicine that I can’t keep down.

She’s amazing in her own way.
Always moving to a better place
She’s...

I blame it on my entrance
it may have seemed too much like confidence
let me start it over
help me get to what I can from when I did

all that I know is how I can hold on
all that you see is how I let go

I had to leave my reasons
it may have seemed too much, the consequence
and in your busy dizzy life
you will become...

The Middle

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Hey,
Dont’t write your self off yet,
It’s only in your head you feel left out,
And looked down on.

Just try your best,
Try everything you can,
And don’t you worry
What they tell themselves when your away.

Chorus:
It just takes some time,
Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride,...

Seventeen

Hung up here on a web of comfort.
Taking off with nowhere to go.
Standing tall with but your new cloak armor.
Making out like it’s all been done.
It’s harder than it seems.
You slip but never fall.
They’ll take you, when you wont come back to me.
Tearing down what we built up so well.
Layin low as you came...
