winter; `tis fast approaching
little did we know how to be what little we knew.
it's simple enough if you think about it
we borrowed our fair share of money
and bought a few loaves of bread
a t-shirt each
and a Coffee to pass the time over.
with the leftovers we'll save up for some canvas
so we can tell a tale of joy/woe/love in all the colours of the rainbow.
take me across the street to your favourite place to sit
and we can wear away the backs of our pants on the concrete
so that the coldness seeps through us
and we can warm each other up with whatever body heat we possess.
wintertime is nice for you and me.

once we find ourselves going over the last line, thats exactly when we'll be fine
intertwined in darkness, all our grievences were met
our shadows sang a love song as we traded silhouettes
and the record played...the music made us understand
how we came to love each other through contempt of fellow man
and what was valid...role playing as the choosee and the chooser
and with these losses counted we began to plan the future
it didn't suit her...she said as she explained her woe to me
i was slow to see that she was saying no to we
and what we planned...which was a shock after so long
of sitting comfortably within our ever playing song
where the notes rolled from my tongue and were swallowed up by hers
and now i only hummed because i didn't know the words
and scraps of paper and doodles of artificial sunlight
couldn't shead illumination and make me get this one right
and now i have to satisfy myself just to make her believe
that the song is never ending; i have to fall in love with me
intertwined in darkness, all our grienvences were met
our shadows sang a love song as we traded silhouettes
only this time, we weren't even behind the same doors
but we still spoke the words as if we didn't need them any more
be well. you all need it more than i do.

the lost brotherhood of those of us who need a little excitement in our retinas in order to understand the world in which we've been bought, sold, slautered and fed to ourselves until the inbreeding is so unique that the title becomes longer than the entr

i thought it was about making up for lost time,
so i over did it...
then turned around and lost mine..
the cost's fine, i'll pay whatever i have to;
i held on tight and forgot you needed time to laugh too
i'll never get past you...
the record skips and plays the same tune
how can i dry your tears if we're not even in the same room?!
my arms don't stretch that far,
and my eyesight isn't what it used to be,
i need you to comprehend that I'm exactly what you choose for me
and i'm losing me with every tear that falls.
i don't want to lose you too =(

you me, you me and the weather...you me, you me and the storm...you me, you me here together...you me, you me safe and warm
adjust your night-vision goggles, my dear, you have to see how green with envy i am.
they who hold your comp'ny and they who have your comp'ny in their thoughts plague me with their jeers and sneers and fears and beers, even.
of course, this is all in my head.
but then, so're you.
and i've lost all sense of purpose thanks to a simple reservation on the universe's part.
the universe has always been very good at beating me senseless with my own misunderstandings and hopes and beverages.
i will create a piece of art from your flower wrapping and perhaps i will redeem myself in the eyes of the angry gods.
i will draw on myself with permanent ink, more sharpie than you can imagine.
if only i wasn't such a wuss.
but do i really wish to be strong? weakness has it's benefits. the night keeps you company and the pillow dries your tears and somewhere, someone is thinking of you whether they are or not.
the only suicide note i ever wrote threw itself off a building before i could finish it. I had far too much sympathy for it's family to do the deed of course, and i could never kill napolean.
he liberated us, you understand, even though we didn't want to be liberated.
Ah, how the similarities of past and present (and gifts) haunt us.
my nails are far to short to scratch you in such a way that your itch will be satisfied. i'm growing them so that i can be satisfactory at best.
trip out to my television screen, theres nothing rock n roll can't fix.
then again, theres nothing hip hop can't fix.
oh, to know the difference between medical treatment and home remedies.
holding a boiling chickenwing to my forehead while singing Mary Had A Little Lamb never did ME any harm, even if it exposed me to beastiality a little early into our friendship, Yahweh and I.
erase each and every word i've said that have irked you. irk me back.
irk me baby, irk me, i love the way you irk me.
what what what????? i didn't mean irk like that. i meant it in a sexy way. what're you talking about? stop it!! stop!!
oh...so irking isn't sexy? damn, i must've been watching a soap opera. or wrestlemania 3.
let's dance the night away baby, it isn't good for anything else but you, me and the weather.

you're safe and sound with me
`You slept through the last small town,
I'll wake you up when the next one comes around.
Your eyes are closed, like you truly believe
You're safe and sound with me
No looking back, no turning into salt.
The city was crumbling but, baby, we're not to fault.
When things got too rough, I promised you we'd leave.
You're safe and sound with me.
You're safe and sound with me,
Just like you always will - just like you always will be.
The wipers clear the windshield of the rain.
My shirt sleeve dries your eyes the very same.
We fit together like the ignition and the key.
You're safe and sound with me.
You're safe and sound with me,
Just like you always will - just like you always will be.
You're safe and sound with me,
Just like you always will - just like you always will be.
The glove box light shines bright enough to see.
You read the map like you were reading poetry.
And it just might take you forever to see,
That you're safe and sound with me. ` -hawksley workman
i miss you eilish
i love you

I don't feel like waking up.
but here I am awake again.
and I know you're asleep.
on the other side of the world.
the airplane soars away.
like so many fleeting emotions.
but they don't matter now.
I don't matter now.
only you matter now.
just when you're furthest from me.
I realise what you knew long ago.
The cavemen had it right in the first place.
romantics and sophistication just make me miss you more.
grunt grunt.

how long must we wait until I can be sober again?
how can I sleep when I know I am awake?
how little do we know?
how little do I know?
what is knowledge of anything when nothing has knowledge of love?
why am I so compromised?
why are the question marks the only reason I type?
how can I sleep when I know that you are awake?
