I accepted your insanity
In turn I drove myself crazy
You were my favorite enemy
You were my favorite everything
But you made me feel beautiful
Felt like I gained the world and my soul
I washed your feet most every night
Finger print scriptures on my inner thigh
Back and forth and up and down
Wanna cry for you but I can’t make a sound
You say you’re trying to be whole again
One day we’re fighting then we’re holding hands
And you build me then break me down
Sometimes it’s better when you’re not around
Be we keep falling back into this dance
Oh Gideon let Ramona out your trance
Our heartbeats are never in sync
(Intertwining to infinity
Dysfunction keeps it interesting)
I close my eyes, wide awake
Caressing skin and limbs
Like a quadriplegic in a dream
But things are never as they seem
We’re just broken pieces
I move so strategic
My body is a game of Jenga
And you are the losing piece
I pray that you don’t take yourself away
(We keep going)
Back and forth and up and down
Wanna cry for you but I can’t make a sound
You say you’re trying to be whole again
One day we’re fighting then we’re holding hands
And you build me then break me down
Sometimes it’s better when you’re not around
Be we keep falling back into this dance
Oh Gideon let Ramona out your trance
These bruises have become dark memories of that one time we fell apart, that time you broke my heart, that time you lost control and instead of running far I reached for your hands to hold
Tiger striped tattoos and voicemails filled with ‘I love yous’ and breakups that just didn’t and promises that don’t amount to anything
Are we anything anymore?

Saturns Rings

Saturns rings around the moon
The rumors lost were once renewed
I found your oversized sweater
The scent of Camels & booze
I played my thoughts to you
Warn fingertips on rusty strings
I loaned my shoulder to a loner
Not used to borrowing things
I shared my words with you
You leaned me some lyrics every now and then
And time just slipped away
In between our practice days
Saturns rings around the moon
The rumors lost were once renewed
I found your oversized sweater
The scent of Camels & booze
Played gigs for fatty foods
Took long walks in the park
I held close all your secrets
But I couldnt hold your heart
Like water in my cupped hands
You just slipped through the cracks
That effervescent child ain’t never coming back
Maybe you’ll return on the other side of the tracks

Linoleum

Take me to the place where you broke my bones and cut my hair
Linoleum and rust and the sweet scent of dust lingers in the air
You held me close and tucked my hair behind my ear
Standing nude I felt your warmth and lost my fear
I daydreamed that one day you’d love me
And you’d exceed all my expectations
I believed that you never lied
You just had a vivid imagination
Day by day I lived as a damsel in distress
Cried for years, I prayed and prayed
Still I was left
To teach myself to cut my hair and hide my tears
Whispered all my hopes and dreams to broken mirrors
I daydreamed that one day you’d love me
And you’d exceed all my expectations
I believed that you never lied
You just had a vivid imagination
And so did I…
Mommy I’m so tired
Can I rest a while
Forget the past and transcend
I’ve been moving so fast and I still can’t see the end
You told me I was special but you didn’t tell me it would be this hard
I woke up a stranger the last time I fell asleep wrapped in your arms
Do you remember what you dreamt that night?
I’ve been stumbling trying to find the light

Rattlesnake Roads
and venom soaked skies
There are whispers in these mountains
I see them when I close my eyes
Oxygen so juicy, we’re breathing underwater
I am but an infant trying to find my father
I heard an echo calling my name from far away
There’s no direction here
It only rains enough to wash away all of the evidence
Pay no attention to the signs, learn to read between the lines
Gentle rustle up ahead, ain’t no one here to watch your step
Tommy wraps his arms around me, whispers soft into my ear
I have built these landscapes, quenched my thirst with sweat and tears
I heard and echo calling my name from far away
The nights are harsher here
The sun only goes down to let the shadows play on the mountain tops

Trip

Missing the high pitch whistle screech from the road-trip
It’s been nearly a year since we flew
I can’t say I’m disappointed
I would rather be nowhere
Would rather be nowhere with you
And even fatigue felt good
We’re fully awake with bone aches
Exploring new neighborhoods
No I can’t remember a single mistake
No wrong angle
Still get that fuzzy spinning feeling from our first kiss
It’s been nearly a year since we knew
And I can’t say I’m disappointed
I would rather be nowhere
And hopelessly in love with you
Even fatigue feels good
We’re fully awake with bone aches
Exploring new neighborhoods
No I can’t remember a single mistake
Not one wrong turn
No wrong exits
