summer solstice
takes shape in broad horizons
burning, burning ambitions
curbed by narrow views
how do I choose?
impoverished
robbed by every choice
and youre here
on your own two legs
and you feel
it should feel different
only with the greatest of efforts
can I muster the will
it comes
in eclipses
it comes
in a blink of your eyes
it comes
pregnant like a gibbous
it comes
in an inky black blue sky
not enough hash in the house
not enough kids to kick out
not enough girls to fight
relax...
she's gone for good
she's gone
for good
for good reason

For Your Sake!

taken it up to this point
own what's given, stolen
taken it up to this point
but it's up to you
to fend for yourself
give it up
for your sake!
give it up for your sake
you don't live forever
you can bury deadweight
you can't wait forever
you can't wait forever
heard your voice for the first time
last night
melodies and reverie
a remedy to my mind
you can't separate yourself
to be something greater
just the blood pumping through
and the breath given to you
cling to altruism
like mother's sleeve
someday her hands will mangle
everything you have believed
keep your head and heart
hung open
worn on worn sleeves
one day your hands will mangle
everything you half believed
believe me
please

i was the name
you called on then
i was the love
that you needed
i bore myself to you
when i was done
i called to you--
suddenly hidden
patiently
i hold this stone
hang your tail
and head for home
my call to you
like fire and smoke
i've come to take your
pretty red coat
baa baa black sheep
have you any blood?
rushing through?

starting now
starting now
starting
to bury misplaced burdens
by an apathetic ancestry
starting now
starting
to sink my teeth in fears
to deny fate as hereditary
starting now
starting
to let go
cause it'll weed itself out
it'll weed itself out
so youcan cut it out
you can cut it out now
am I cynic obsessed with apocalypse
am I a cynic or a blind optimist
with all this comfort
you start to wonder
what were you born for
with all these white walls
what do you live in
all these bedraggled addicts
all these adult children
the feelings could be harmless
in a routine eternity
