I’m in your blood, your heart, your soul I’m in your bones, your eyes, your smile But I’m not there, And I apologize for the years you’ll hardly know me, But you’re my little girl And I apologize for the tears I will never see One day you’ll know I always cared, That I’m in…

We are all criminals, Stealing people from broken homes, Praying that they, have nothing better to do then wait on us, The time I’ve waited to tell them, How you stole her from me, I’m sorry lover, she stole my water, I’m sorry daughter, she stole my motor Is this how we operate, Like broken…

oh almighty tree, though you have splintered, how far around were you before they struck you down? oh how dangerous kids with axes can be, while they are going for your ankles, silently reminding you not to move so they rebel looking in hope for looks, war painted skulls, like the creatures they used to…

Nonsense played a role in playing for money, and none of what we found at the bottom could pay this off Entirely debited to the world around, falling from bottom to top never made a resounding sound.

Keep to heart all that matters What life is worth living when constantly spent living under ladders? Watching those above you step on those they believe are beneath them But we can’t be framed into believing we are the ones who should be blamed I’ll listen to the world around me as it all snaps…

I actually “wrote” this in a dream and though this is not exactly how it went, it’s my best version that I can remember. What happened to your light? Because I always feel lost at night without you I wonder what it feels like to never lose sight of the world around you I don’t…

Take away your hard liquor and make it harder Take away your longest words and make them shorter, Find small pauses and fill them with subliminal messages, Find small clouds and fill them with more water. Grab someone else’s hand just as it’s starting to tremble Grab someone else’s keys just as they’re getting ready,…

When I lost you I, I lost myself When I lost you I, I lost the best thing I could ever lose If I could just retry, Restart this whole life I’d end up in a pool right next to you, Finding a way to call you my wife When I lost you I, I…
