I'm writing in a diary of a stranger
My words are all meaningless, just pen on paper
I'm speaking in a language that is not mine
Don't know what I'm trying to say or trying to hide
I'll speak my name tonight just to see if I know who I am
I'll set my fears aside, if you would only would give me a chance
If you only would give me a chance....
Cause I've...been...quiet in corners
Stuck in my head again
I'm ready for you to feed on the haunting
To numb me, so I won't feel a thing
It doesn't feel like it's supposed to like the movies
It doesn't last when feelings change like the leaves
It doesn't feel like the climax...no grand effects
It doesn't read like a monologue it's much more complex...
So give me a billboard, a Bible, a TV,
To stop me from searching to make me believe
That there's more to this place then I could ever see
And that all of the answers are sitting in front of me
Stick me with needles and fill up my I.V.
With plenty of blind faith to make me fall asleep
With fear as your scalpel, begin this surgery
Cause I'm ready to rest now to escape the empty...

Please...bring me back
To this emptiness
'Cause completion is just a dream
No one's signing me
It's hard to wake in this wedding white,
Here each morning
Nothing's attached
Don't you forget that
Another coat a brand new start
Cause I don't care what's written here
I'm tearing pages and making art
I'll sweep away and build my space
The artist has broken
These windows taking pictures
Of sand and snow
Of careless echoes
My body double has passed away
I'm blending pigments and burying stains
We're closer to canvas than expected
Oh what a collection we've collected

A cigarette stain on my brand new jacket
I fear I've worn myself away
A missing stitch from my navy jacket
Put me away...in the tomb
Have I gone mad...I think I have
Have I gone mad...I think that I have
It's time to meet you
This time is so overdue
I need to
Connect to
Don't you know, I do
This time is so overdue
Invisible voice speaking to my conscience
I hope she speaks free of lies
A dead empty room talking up my conscience
Put me away...in the tomb
Nothing...
Nothing you do or say can change that wave of life you've missed
And nothing you do or say can change that wave of life that you wished for
The candlelight slits are open in time
They're widening now
Wider than your surprise
Tangled in the tree line
Tangled in the tree line
Tangled up in lost time
Tangled up and lost...

These strangers will do for friends
Maybe better that way
Just know that I won't be there
When you come back someday
Stars and stripes on blackened eyes
Fold a flag close them tight
Tired lips swallowing pills
Pause to sleep..still your mind
I'm just a child acting tall
I'm at the edge over the falls
Tabloid talkshow burial
These grave machines are digging my hole
And oh I'll trade your ink for some of my blood
My head is a wreck just prop me up
Paper letters the writing turns
Lost my balance but you've got it worse
Rain and ash run down your face
With wordless grace you frown
Tears and lights flow from buildings
Lay your glass flowers down
Rack focus pushing petals (*pedals)
Drown the lotus in metal
Can anything keep me up
Above surface level
I am looking for some sanity
I am ready will you level me
Cause I am ready will you level me
I am looking for some sanity
So level me with sanity
Just level me...

Naked in Poems

Time’s a disease
That you cannot cheat
They say your supposed to know by now
They say you must be grown up now
Covered in prose
But naked in poems
I’m four years old, on sandbox adventures
Where did that time go?
Fourteen years now, the music sounds better
We’re gonna rule the world
Lost boys who watch the sky and wait
But Peter Pan is not on his way
Covered in prose
But naked in poems
I’m four years old, on sandbox adventures
Where did that time go?
Fourteen years now, the music sounds better
We’re gonna rule the world
Eighteen years old, I’ll never forget her
But every summer ends
I’m twenty-one, as lost as ever
What do I do now?
Why can’t I just be here tonight?
Why can’t I destroy time?
Covered in prose
But naked in poems...

My Time

The storm it moves through my broken fingers
Reminding me I'm not a ghost
I'm ready to leave now but we just got here
I'll pay the toll...who is the host?
Lately I've been taking my steps four at a time,
Somewhere between the bar and the bathroom
I can pretend this is a life
Here I am
I'm on my way
Another evening
Cause I can't tell you where I've been
Cause I've been hiding...inside...tonight...
You know I'm standing right here
Am I wasting my life?
Everyone has there day
And I am ready for mine
Wake up with phone calls that I regret
Wasting my time, just time to waste
And it gets so lonely when I'm surrounded
So can I chase this awful taste
Every time I finish sinking
I can't recall, no I can't recall
It's not so funny but everyones laughing
No I don not know who is to blame
The stars can't tell you the difference
Between the selfless and
The bulk they struggle not to shine
While I've been hiding inside...tonight...
