Shadow face. Blowin' smoke an' talkin' wind. Lost my grip. Fell too far to start again, start again. . A sudden snake. Found my shape an' tells the world.
I woke the same as any other day. Except a voice was in my head. It said, "Seize the day, pull the trigger. Drop the blade and watch the rolling heads".
Girlie dress and making her best. She makes up her hair for the 90s. Dirty shoes and hiding her blues. She's dying to lose what she's finding. . So easy to leave it or take it in stride.
This is my good eye. Do you hear a cow?. A rooster says. Here is a pig. The devil says. . Painted blue across my eyes,. and tie the linen on. And I'm on my way,.
You wired me awake. and hit me with a hand of broken nails. you tied my lead and pulled my chain. to watch my blood begin to boil. . But I'm gonna break.
Come on in and take me on an override. Been stuck inside and up all night at Dave's. Now trouble's far away, and mother in her cage. And nothings gonna pinch this nerve of mine.
I got up feeling so down. I got off being sold out. I've kept the movie rolling. But the story's getting old now. . Oh yeah. . Well I just looked in the mirror.
I've got war on my mind blood on my hands. And love on my head. So open your hands open your mouth. Let it be said. You know I've got it mad in my mind.
Heard it from another room. Eyes were waking up. Just to fall asleep. Love's like suicide. . Dazed out in a garden bed. With a broken neck. Lays my broken gift.
Stretch the bones over my skin. Stretch the skin over my head. I'm going to the holy land. Stretch the marks over my eyes. Burn the candles deep inside.
I woke up with my feet nailed down and my head moving the spped of sound. Had a dream I was caught in a maze and couldn't find my way back out. Some were born to move mountains around and some to rot away in jail.
Whatsoever I've feared has come to life. Whatsoever I've fought off became my life. Just when every day seemed to greet me with a smile. Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time.
I must obey the rules. I must be tame and cool. No staring at the clouds. I must stay on the ground. . In clusters of the mice. The smoke is in our eyes.
Follow me into the desert. As thirsty as you are. Crack a smile and cut your mouth. And drown in alcohol. 'Cause down below the truth is lying. Beneath the river bed quench yourself and drink the water.
Nothing, seems to kill me. No matter how hard I try. Nothing's closing my eyes. Nothing can beat me down. For your pain or delight, no. . And nothing, seems to break me.
In my eyes. Indisposed. In disguises no one knows. Hides the face. Lies the snake. And the sun in my disgrace. Boiling heat. Summer stench. 'Neath the black, the sky looks dead.
Shower in the dark day clean sparks diving down. Cool in the waterway where the baptized drown. Naked in the cold sun breathing life like fire. I thought I was the only one but that was just a lie.
Worried moon shining bright. Can I sleep here tonight right beside you?. I got a long way to go. I'll be off in the morning. And I hope but I don't know.
I have an injury. It's there for all to see. They pay to watch as the blood pours out. And it's my priviledge. . Cause I'm in danger. Yeah I'm in danger.
The clouds that gathered turned to rain. The candles on your sill burned out. The weather on your face. Turned to match the mood outside. . Reading through poems that you saved.
