Penniless, with a pocket full of sand
Perilous, the power held within your hand
Heedless, she set the ivory ablaze
And I couldn't help wondering from what kind of stuff she was made
Still framed in light
The silent echo
Of days gone by
Now amplified
Surrounded, we beat the blood back down
Astounded by still-ringing strings underground
'Til June saw bloom sweet poison apropos
And now I'm choking on petals on purpose in spite of the snow
We try to hide
Behind the sixes
And nine-to-fives
Just half alive

Cover your couches in canvas
The color now confined
Painting your pictures with a palette
Of a wholly different kind
Afraid you could be outshined
So noble, so pure
You're tethered
Though you never touch the ground
Cover your heart
In leather
Now you wear it like a crown
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn
About Jones and Lenard
'Cause they've never seen the way a laser beam
Can lay waste to a heart
It can tear you apart
Now blinded, and excited by the
Sub-celestial sheen
Years of subtle transmissions hinting
What I knew you'd glean right from the start
I will tear you apart
So noble, sublime
You're weightless
As you float around the room
So regal, entwined
With conflagrations
Still refusing to diffuse

Everything's in place
So circadian
You would save the world
If it wasn't so damned inconvenient
So dye your carpets red
And spackle up your ears
So all this blood that's shed
Seems to disappear
Not brave enough to admit you're afraid
You hold your breath and keep fanning the flames
Aghast--but not a god--
At a gash, and a facade
So fly your banner high
Convinced of all you do
The holy champion
Of everything half-true
And you could wash this all away
But then again, it's always been this way
You can never say
What you've never seen
Soak your eyes with lye
It will keep you clean

Put your diamond studded shoes away
You won't need them where we go
All the frozen creep of yesteryear
Thawing through incandescent days
The people take it away
The people fading away
Futile swipes at your autonomy
Surmounted by scorn served with a smile
Drunk on the rhythm now, you chase after the sun
It's a game that we all know you play
The people take it away
The people fading away
And you're sleeping with your eyes open
But you feel alive again

Sanguine Dream

Pull on your ribs
Look inside
You'll find
Naught but sparkling dust
Pull on my ribs
Look inside
You'll find
A chamber of rust
Not this shape by design
Twisting
Helical ferriferrous spine
Tortuous
Just a waste of your time
Strange to see how a dream
Can seem to make you fly
Untie, and then suck you dry
'Til you hide all your blood
When you wake, hope taking hold
When such guileless hearts
Will facades, smother thoughts
That say everyone still dies alone
But maybe you won't...?

She said "I miss you, oh I miss you, oh I miss you so"
I asked her why she left me standing all alone
She said the fire it went out so long ago
But I still feel the embers smoldering down below
She said "I love you" in a secret guarded tone
As we lay there buried deep inside the snow
And as our shielded eyes explored each others' hearts
The winter wind it made it clear, it made it clear, it made it clear
It made it clear
She said "I miss you, oh I miss you, oh I miss you so"
I asked her why she left me standing all alone
She said the fire it went out so long ago
But I still feel the embers flickering down below
And as the heat comes up to crack my swelling heart
The palpitations make it real, they make it real, they make it real
Now the street are bare, the sound has stopped,
The picket fences all burned down
The windows broke, the porch askew
The rafters fell into the living room
And if it rains, these wounds can heal
There'll be no driver at the wheel
In blinding light, a milky fog
And we will see there's no more dreams, there's no more dreams
She said "I miss you, oh I miss you, oh I miss you so"
I asked her why she left me standing all alone
She said the fire it went out so long ago
But I still feel the embers burning down below
She said "I love you" in a secret guarded tone
As we lay there buried deep inside the snow
And as our shielded eyes explored each others' hearts
The winter wind it made it clear, it made it clear, it made it clear
Now the street are bare, the sound has stopped,
The picket fences all burned down
The windows broke, the porch askew
The rafters fell into the living room
She said "I miss you, oh I miss you, oh I miss you so"
I asked her why she left me standing all alone
She said the fire it went out so long ago
But I still feel the embers raging down below
And now it blazes in a silent secret glow
Drowning out the tired sound of breaking bones
And as the heat comes up to crack my swelling heart
The palpitations make it real, they make it real, they make it real
They make it real
