Sick on whiskey, beer, and bullshit.
I spun it, you spin it,
Others grin through their teeth
With mouths full of it,
So what's the point in trusting anymore?
I'm riding solo. There's a woman
Thinks she can claim me.
There's another that never stopped.
If all of this is about love then
I'm surely fucked. Because what is
This life apart from heart and heat?
I was always meant to fail at good love.
I'm not sad, because I never give up.
I don't mind the bloody pulp. I don't
Feel discouraged with the sadness
That surrounds my halo. I'm a heart
For the world. They use me as wished;
I gift them with uplifting until our
Time runs out. Then I let them go.
Fly on, sweet ones. I didn't mean a thing.
Temporary harbor. Imperfect lover.
I shared your secrets and kept them.
I gave you all I could. I'm going to drift
Along this life endlessly. Take stock in
Something other than a guy like me.
Take stock in peace and ease.
I'm not the one. I'm no one.

You are the beauty I never understood.
I spent a long while trying to
Compromise myself to
Compliment your elegance,
But I never really touched it;
Never got that glint like I figured.

Loyalty is a kind of beauty,
And despite my wayward nature
I would follow you into the deepest
Dark recesses of anything,
Yet I feel it's not the answer, any longer.

Oh, how we broke each other so.
We parted after such a silent battle;
This is that sad treaty we must abide.
Everything will be different from now on.

I'll never not feel the you of your love.
Please always remember mine. We,
Though apart, will never be strangers.

And now the sad music plays our part;
Two lonely beatings of one broken heart.

Let my memory burn for this forever.

Routines

She's got those routines.
They get her through the day.
She pulls my strings and
I'm never around to hear her sing.

It's been a while since I heard her sing.

I took my mind away,
To get myself some sense
And try my best forgetting.
Sometimes you just remember a song.

Sometimes you want to sing along.

She's a sunrise too early
Come on by a delirious morning
With no way of knowing how
My whole life changed in a moment;

You love; you're afraid to show it. 

[Such beautiful first exchange.]

At night when I shut my eyes
I see cascading fragments over years,
They pull and push me like waves.
Tumbling cool green foam takes me

Into the despair of my awakening.
