Over the Blue Eye

Ferry bound west sounded good to me

So I payed in and drove to a piece of the sea

Aboard the bow I now stand with each arm outstretched

With one gust I knew flying was not so far fetched

The tips of my toes touching earths ocean blue eyes

On the other side of the sea another chance to revise

Wax

My body is wax I can tell how its melting

Bits and pieces break off into my tracks

And inside its red stuck minutes of my time spent some time ago

The age really makes things fade in the sunlight

An image I have of the world spinning around

I’m trying to keep it but it melts to the the ground

Under the lamp one by one my memory escapes me

Down

One door away the skies are blue

And the gray in my hair will disappear

But then it changes its mind to like it a lot less

I don’t know if I’m even happy anymore

I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson and the declaration of independence and the part about our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking, how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it.

Rain No More

Most of my life there is no rain to gray

The sun perched high on its throne to give me better days

Eyes blinded I’m reminded of the blight I keep on finding

When the days grow long and the green decays to its rays

Inside my mind are there no clouds that bleed

Will the Midas within my eyes ever fade

I’m afraid my face has run dry and the rivers that flowed are now gone

Waiting for the rain to fix the pain Its made

Apology

The photos stack up every time that you meet me

Your smile stuck to me like a dark rainy day

That lingers forever inside of my mind

Stuck in the stars of the open night sky

And still the heart opens up to another closed door

I realized too fast what love just can’t really repair

Like memories you planted inside of my brain

Yet I wait for you here outside of your door

I’m sorry I forgot I made you sad

House on the Hill

I would peel off the paint but there’s bones underneath

Its walls are too old to receive a new coat

I’d kick if I could and break down its door

But my toes are ingrown and sore from the climb

I was trying to help but you knew I was torn

Feeling so desperate to shrug off your weight

Now the yoke that you once carried caves into my back

Spine’s sick of the stress and I fear for this house

So I’ll take out my lighter and set it ablaze

Sea Song

Hello fellow tumblites!  These are some lyrics that I’m thinking of making into song.

Poetry ensues...

Here I sleep on the sand your favorite victim

The marks left of these steps are so unpredictable

I thought I left my thoughts to languish upon the shore

Another lesson in a distant fall

Where The Path Ends We Exit

The view bellow stares up at me

But when I grasp out your hands not there

The darkness echos back...

These things we say with crooked mouths

Pale to things we said with dead faces

So you died beside my corpse

And became the ghost you always where

If our conflicted souls are doomed to wander

I just might get lost inside this fog

Sallow Skin

It seems my face has gotten sweaty

But I forget about just why

The thoughts ran fast unto their graves

And now I feel they've  dug too deep

Down inside my pale ash skin

I fall asleep until the dawn

Yellow Boat

My breath in here is fast and heavy

But any slower I'm sure I’d die

The world out here it comes in waves

With rocks and trees that want to keep

All inside my little boat

I move ahead into the fray

The Girl

Am I done with the girl who once disappeared

I’ll be left with the wind rushing through my hair

These cold winter nights with a ghost of your face

As I lie here awake to ponder if you still care

I don't know how I can hate someone I love so much

Angel

I’m sorry I mean it

I tried and I tried

But you felt my love

As a cage you where inside

I’m sorry I lie

Through my gritting teeth

Its fine if you hate

That its hell I’m beneath

Your angel no longer

I’ll rest in your sick mind

And you will in mine

Till I return to the sky

The City

I look at the crowd all happy and fake

The facade of adulthood painted onto their face

I once thought the years to mature

Boy was I wrong

Its like we are born into goddamn psychopaths

The more that we age 

I just want to leave it

This place makes me sick

To tell to the truth

The whole world makes me like this

Wide Awake

Something inside me fell and it broke

Or a from a deep slumber I startled and woke

Now my body aches to return to my sleep

But its image is just a memory I keep
