Tip-To-Tail

Come one, but not all
the weight of alcohol is
not equal to you
your body cannot hold
you're toxic and livid, and asking for it
the trouble is calling you over, and killing
I flew to New York
I never got back those hours
Stopover in Dallas
remove me from
sensation, you place is not where I am at
you've become Penelope to me, and I won't stand this distance
I solved for theta
and then components called x
and y, so I'll find
some quick directions
of this vector, I wonder the magnitude
I know that from the tip-to-tail I'll end up at you, my lover
Let's get on a plane
I want to get back my hours
this coast is the most
infuriating place
at least on Pacific, I'm closer to you
but you're still so far away, all the way on peninsula called San Francisco
Lets make and take bids
desperation is not in my
vocabulary
I'll save up all my
strength for the date that you set in your head
there's changes in the phases

Valleys of California

I need to get out of this goddamn desert
The smog hangs over us, recycling air
How do I stay afloat with people this shallow
How do I act like I don't give a care?
I'm going to the valleys of California
so that I can be with you; body, blood
Let's go up high to Tamalpias
where we won't ever wanna come down
Oh, this is such an exergonic process
the heat between us two will be released
I'm taking time to memorize components
They'll be with me on infinite repeat
I know that you should Exit on Olympic
then take Reliez Station Road
You know that I would rather see this mountain
than have to see the long and winding road

Sitting in a parking lot
so I can offer blood
now's the moment of truth...
but I can't do what you want me to do
I'm trying to be strong enough
I know that I am not the one you love
this is such a treacherous way to be new...
but I can't do what you want me to do
Damaged goods like a hardbound book
never read again and left again
Welcome to this England New
easily one thousand miles from what you drew
Tell the sirens I'll be fine
I'll recover in due time
You've taken half of every thing I ever knew...
but I can't do what you want me to do
no, I can't do what you want me to do
Damaged goods like a hardbound book
never read again and left again

Things I want to do
03:03
|
|||
|
I want to watch my fist go through a wall and never reach the other side,
watch the ripples in the stone, like rubber, undulate like grass in summer wind
I want to steal the skin that, perfect, clings onto your bones as deathly grip
why prolong what's sure to happen to a beauty in the night on false pretense
I want to watch them writhe as guilt betrays them so the grays would fill the cracks
where black and white could not be met and thieves with golden hair will 'brace the dying flight
I want to see my lies reveal themselves to all whom I had secrets kept
in hopes that, rearing ghastly heads, they spoke of insolence, egregiousness abhorred
I want to meet the love that never was or is or will be, nothing more
and hold her close and tight only to say but once, "Lenore, I love you nevermore"

Peach
03:20
|

|
once again, I'm wrong
it's an unspoken rule
a little taste of the peach on your lips
will remind of other times when you were sorely missed
Here the sun is out
but in my heart it's clouded
you've got a little bit of beach on your hips
and its fine, it's fine
Coursing through my veins like poison, you've drugged me
the finer grains of sand will drop down, ever ticking
and its fine
as long as i taste the peach on your lips
I'm on the other side
Taking blows to the nerves
bundles of pain that God organized
but there's no forgiveness for wandering eyes
