Silent Fight that
Hardly Dies
on shopless roads we fight no peddler nor a marketer to pull our minds away from ashen white how possible it is to take a perfect thing like love and make it hard to bear because it looms round every corner
the silence ever warm. a privacy so aptly won by playing on politeness- one side's alone no doubt the match of height and weight first letters change the states of mate a perfect romance story only stands alone
it's so unfair to take the stance the altruistic version of a man who is just so full of love so painfully inarguable, no way to be a grateful girl without the silent fight that hardly dies
a scant pass is no sign then frets and worries, flurries into hatred for concern concern or border mania? no ways to clearly tell from each the other believes their reasons reach and maybe just so maybe twice no one's right
don't play the hurt role, when sometimes you're blind discourtesy is not my intent
Masquerade
oh, if it were ever to come together oh, if maybe you could see this now i'm sitting through hurricanes unfettered and please, may your presence endow i wish i could say things are fine, my dearest feather of a masquerade but we know that we both slow unwound and this time we are no longer the same just a masquerade
oh, you're afraid that something will become more oh, if maybe you were not so strong turntables in rooms with countless shifting doors hear the sound when you bite your tongue i wish i could say things are fine, my dearest feather of a masquerade but we know that we both slow unwound and this time we are no longer the same b
ut i'm not dressed i can't be seen i don't fit, the fit of clothes to show that i'm meant to reply to everyone's eyes don't change i'm outside your masquerade
Would You Lie?
i didn't assume the worst of all possible cases like i usually do will i pay for it? optimism of all situations makes light-hearted the deal at hand, in which was hidden a plan
lucky that i'm not so clever i didn't catch that mocking look in your eyes lucky that we are not tethered it'll hurt less when you're kind. would you lie? would you? i'd be put off center.
clearly put, the issue here is trust that trust that i might actually have in you, this once it's true. but i have this feeling that i am shooting myself straight in the eye then blind in one eye, i can say i finally see your soul
so basically, i am nothing but some words that are hoping for validation so will i be proven right or proven wrong? in either case it ends the same way i am at fault. i'
ll say it and say it again for future reference "this is not intelligent"
Safe in Imperfection
perfect days like these make me feel like i'm not cynical i can believe that the world is beautiful i can feel almost at ease because, my friend, you are here with me
night's light, shining bright slivers on the water time slows and goes too fast for the warmth that's in our hands remarkably remembered and unplanned
the last nights bring us closer then we might imagine i hear your voice and i feel at home now i'm safe in imperfection
never left unsaid are the feelings that i seem to know just like the changes that i undergo why would you stay with me? but i'm grateful that you're here with me
and i'm careful about the words i say and when i say them i don't want to be the one who jumps the gun and so my discretion is advised but i lose my will when your hand's in mine

hopelessly entwined
with i
so without innocence as i swing into the sky the light and clouds as the world turns upside down and i become afraid to fly
but no choice at this point and the point of the finger is aligned to the eyes of the powers and what i see is what i'm hoping they don't see i'm truly striving to be safe in the hands of another being true to each other to find shelter from a war underneath the shell of the red plastic turtle from my earliest years watching children's feet pass from the last endeavor to another the sun shone through the last review and we all had to filter inside...
the greatest that i hope for is thy- hopelessly entwined with i
the teacher said that once things were moving they were moving and sequencing is AT GC, see? and what it meant to me is that biology is all the same watching hands pass off and change despite daily review at the playground where i grew up up and out and into doubt as children changed to men exchanging cash in the dark, seeing lights only at night
will the sun shine through? the last review and i soon want to leave up to mine the greatest that i hope for is thy- hopelessly entwined with i open this door so soon for life and death and the next and the next and the next and the next
For Love of Us
well it's like listening to an old codgered man with his swelled weathered knee and his father's old hat sensing that change is ever so subtle and sometimes not at all
and we wonder what happened to us our love has wilted and turned into lust old family photos that crumble in hand living on our forefathers' land
for love of us well
if you loved me would you keep things the same a child that starves to hear it's own name baby baby i'm watching the show doctors' tests surely won't show if you loved me if you left me
we ran the wires of the cross country train the giant metal fingers that the big men retain because, my darling, the hearts are recharging like double a's and mother's maids and women in the workplace
Would it be Wrong?
it's only fitting that you are the subject of the song as i am the subject of cynical love fathers love their daughters well, i had a hard time believing that one
i find myself asking how we came apart at the seams, slowly tearing and we both looked away from the guise of caring- did we even acknowledge that we were alive? 'cuz fathers love their daughters and daughters love their fathers well, i had a hard time believing that one
sometimes i don't think that we're good for each other but we have no choice- we're blood-related. and i wish that i was good enough to hear you call me your own. 'cuz since we hid ourselves behind our misconceptions we've been dead and ineffective. would it be wrong to have no trouble believing that one?
all of the years that the silence was deafening i never heard a sound and it never set off an alarm "it is not your fault," you say, "no, it's partly mine." well, i have a hard time taking your word 'cuz it was i who made the mistake first.
i know i'm not perfect, but i hope you're still proud. i know i'm not perfect, but i hope you'll still love me.
it makes us more honest to clearly state positions daddy, i don't trust you. i'm sorry that i fell from your eyes even now, i might be wrong, but i'm sure we'll be fine in time. 'cuz fathers love their daughters and daughters love their fathers well, i had a hard time believing that one

Too Fast To Find
all the feel that things are changing fast in five years are we changing back? stalls to settle down the engine of the mother's frown but from the homes we go into society's throw
"God is dead" he says "but nothing's real" "i'm in charge and this is much too real" "if i want it, i will get it, i deserve it" "it's my right and i just know that ba ba ba i'm lovin' it"
simply calls too fast to find the line to which we crossed over simply calls to mind the innocence that once really mattered
i'm
filled with cheap ideals of love and sex and money, honey women- vixens, tricks and love for instant infidelity this world advanced so far but would it help to raise your children? to 9-5 on tv thinking sins are destines
hush little baby don't say a word momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird and if that mocking bird don't sing momma's gonna break it's mocking wings and since that mocking bird don't sing momma's gonna buy you a diamond ring and if that diamond ring don't shine momma's gonna sue and make them cry
To lin with love
slowing down gently, i know that you have not lost hope as a child waits for the sheets to rise, mommy daddy i always wish your sickness would cease but don't hurt yourself please the torment of the tempest's storm merits no lifetime to mourn
the dimmest constellations spell out the confirmation cat's cradle beneath the table, hands string they intertwine and if you'd look up to see what your existence does mean a glimmer waits for your time that i trust you one day will find
sometimes the wills of men fail sometimes our hearts become frail trudging along life's road if cows can jump over the moon i will be there with you soon if comfort please us live then we must
if comfort please us live then we must
in memory
i see the waves and they fall back down again breathe deeply we do i'm sorry to say that the castles blown away such prints that lead us back to land
so sorry i know that you'll miss me you know of the things we had but time is awaiting and fleeting so go on i know you can
taking place on the shore which will drift forevermore night falls predictably don't watch now the time runs out like sand into the sea lay leh see?
all i need for life
run of the mouth i'm being open like the skies are open now as always i am the smallest worth in the great expanse of what you have
because everything i thought i knew all of it leads right back to You these fleeting moments are my time because You're all i need for life
oh the peace of what You leave on the essence of a broken heart is the least of what You gave
