Blame the DandyC Darling

Oh look, you've even got other boys writing songs
Professing my so-called love for you
And oh what an instrument
Equal opportunity longs
To be played
Skilled or ignorant hands
All made clumsy by too much to drink
And too little thinking
Fallen on, barely escaping

Dropped not broken
Shaken and stirred
Edgy elixir courage
Hits happen
Its dirty sexy
Drugs and coffee
The uppers by downers

Skewed balance is still balance

Dont say my name like you mean it
Or look into my eyes
Gave me your helmet
To protect me from myself
Its myself that protects me from you
You and your body's lies
The cravings win everytime

Skewed balance is still balance
Uppers and downers
All for a chance
The days call me a looser
But the nights proclaim
Another win
Another win
Balance is balance

Folie à Famille

"Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars..." I'd never just change my name.
---
I know I want to spend the rest of my life in St. Louis.

I'm just not ready for the rest of my life yet.

I've got too much else to do first.
---
Only two people in the world. The very same complexes, strengths, and weaknesses. And then again not at all. The only two people from whom I'd never hear the word "No". We don't ask. Burned too many times by the anwser or the lie in the affirmative.

The Upward Glance

I could sing about love
From the moment I wake
I could read the great novels
But I'm not sure they'd take

So I've read the hours away
And I've sung the silvery verses
With all the right faces
I've had you entranced with every word I say

But those sweet nothings
They're just that
Little whispers for the taking
Because we haven't yet met

I'll be your pet
And you'll be mine
For never have I ever
Had a perfect Valentine

I Just Want to Feel Something: La Noche Triste

"Spin the Bottle"


I rocked you
You rolled my world
Bounce on me
I'll bounce on you
Never left
Just an aside [forgotton]

Use me, I'll use you
Come on honey, like this smile?
How about how I move?
Its a flash of white danger
We smell the rapture
And you're eyes are filthy liars

It takes one
To know one
I heard the line across the room
Drew me like a moth to a flame

Vampires prowling
The scene of the binging dead

Dead to you by daylight
This Mindless Butterfly
Cinderella she's not
Smeared makeup and hungover
A mere shadow of the Queen

Until the next tryste
And its a different player
Same dark game

Played by the vampires
Stealing the life
From the binging dead

Waiting for the Valium to Bind

Your indifference sets off the panic, knowing you can't help us either. "I wish you would've lied"; its just my way of adding another level of grime, because I didn't think you had enough trouble seeing clearly. Sick of stupidity. My tools don't work, they're over used, rusted and coroded. This mind can't untangle any more chaos. Burning every last connection trying, borrowing against a heavy heart and a credit line of prayer.

Caught in the rain, held captive by the wind. Lightning flashes of memory, when life was simple. Thunder rolls off the tounges of the heavens, whispering the promises of angels. Soaked and alone, kept afloat by the very thought of you.

--

I can hear you slipping. The tears in your voice suffocate me; my heart aches in beat with your breaking. This line does its best to save us, but its only a line, and we're so far away. We are so much the same, I should know how to fix you. I barely have the spare parts for myself. And I'm gone from you. Can you feel my eyes? I'm burning them through time and space for you. I pray you catch enough of a glimer to soothe your tired soul, just enough to rest.
