holes in the soles

they say

you're so funny

but i'm not doing stand up

i'm a sit down kind of comedian

everything i write tends to repeat itself

either

this isnt meant to be

or

this means everything

Persian Politics: Sandstorm Seige

Daggers so sharp

turning back the clock

or timetraveling cars

sent into shock

as I watch myself

before the second you ended our truce

before i met you

before the blue

back to the right shoe

she fits better than you

now i know what to do

and you're so close to the blade

downtown war parade

all because of this

rewind to find

where i went wrong

your fall was something like a song

so winded and too long

stop singing those broken words

none of this had meaning

One more night, one more time (the sands of time rewind)

All of these smiles

All of these friends

We are in stitches

While our skin mends

We are head over heels

with hills overhead

I just wanna bring it back to life

the spark that started on a damp cold night

We might consume a little liquor

to make the flames grow quicker

As the city sleeps, we wake up

And theres no time to make up

to these streets beneath this machine

our feet hover on clouds painted serene

I think you know what I mean

the feeling of living in dreams

penny for your thoughts vs. a portrait of your insides

And of all the pokerfaces

That I've brought to life

loved and lost

I'd say you were my favorite

Make the big bank

before we broke the hearts and doors

and swarm away from this place

the busy bees

obsessing now

over you, me, our cities

i'd hang my head over on this one for the night

red eyed without the flight

the sun is out now

and everything has switched out

the stage is set

the scene is dying

and theres a hole

where i laid you to rest

and theres a keyhole

where i watched you undress

my memoir will be written in britain

oceans away

will drive you mad

if only we hadn't forgot how to fly

instead we turned in our wings for lungs

resistant enough to lie

to hold back all the rust

to have skin that will one day turn to dust

you traded in your love at the door

for a box full of lust

it won't last as long but

the joke's on you

i have been hiding it in my stomach cellar

one day i'll return it in full

just in time to watch the world burn

this love is like a wildfire

not so much intense as it distant

stretched across continents and cultures

6 hours ahead of me, you think you'd know it all by now

daytona nighttime

staying up all night

has never felt so empty

there is nothing

breathing doesnt exist

your brain is dead and broken down

on a raceway that no ones at

and theyll try to get inside

but all you can think about is

repairing

but you have to make them think

youre going those last few laps

really youre just putting on a show

in your own heart and head

if they ever make a movie about this, they'd cast Scarlett Johannson as you

So tonight
please take my advice
it doesn't matter if this turns out nice
don't let it get to you, that's your vice
you care too much what they think
you put yourself on ice

the thing about walking on water
is that your heart's on fire
you're just so eager to show
you want them to know that you know

you'd sail the seven seas
but only for publicity
and give the jewels to me
the treasure chest means nothing
nor does the golden ring

so here's to you
for keeping this stage so neat
and the scene is at your feet
your voice shouts out another curse
something in a sad song's verse
but its just another line you stand and deliver
tonight your sheets are where your greed slithers
like a snake, you won't give it a break
you've got no backbone
the blood in your veins is just like a lake

and God only knows
there's no heaven for you
you're just like that serpent
so seductively sneaky
looking for your dues

well this is overdue
i wish i knew
youre like a magician
nothing you do is true
its all an illusion
so in conclusion

the only trick is you

in love with the local lore (whorelords and street wars)

You're open like a vault
share your secrets
I'm open like a 24hr. convenience store
sharing mine
Cashiers coughing up more than cash
So sticky sweet, it's like a rash
Itching to give you this disease
let it go to your brain
the first taste is just a teaser
if there's ever a perfect woman
let me meet her
broken like a piggy bank
not worth my weight in gold
but there's so much to hit or miss

bubbly with a shot of satire

smoking perfume
cloves of couldnt care less
caressing lungs with tongues
nothing like breathing firecrackers
and laying around
the king of the pound
chugging chocolate fames
it's such a shame
you wish

I can't hear a word you say (MiniVan Go(gh)

I wanna bring the music back
like MJ before the heart attack
You need to learn CPR
before you ride in my car
because I lose my mind and breath
on the long roads home
but my place is long and forgotten
like the empire of rome
i get so locked up in the knees
you'd think i'd have made some keys
bring on the zen
shutting off my eyes and head again
the etchings in my bones come to life for the night
while i keep quiet until we fall asleep in the deadend

blackjack with a catch 22

All I'm asking
is all you're hiding
a chest full of diamonds
and a heart full of coal
breathing in carbon monoxide
and dying alone
the irony is
i'm deep within you
and you're the one to blame
but i'm laying here
in a collapsed mine
with the lungs to match
oh you're the death of me
what a catch

ode to O2 and you

its raining, secrets dropping on the rooftops
just be quiet until it stops
in your bed, clear your head and just lay there
you'll hear their voices, begging you to stay and hear
theyll tell you relax and just go with the flow
dont worry your head, just take it slow
the world is changing, your thoughts rearranging
there is never an end, youll always have a friend
if you wait...
ive seen mountains move, glaciers melt
ive seen dead grass grow and gain an elegant smell
oh if youre lost in the paradox, think outside the box
because we're all just waiting for that day
absorb the sun and every ray
then watch the night trade the day
theres a moon in the sky reflecting in your eyes
the stars are singing just for you...
check out the clouds, there's no dues
to be paid, you can't lose
you are free to breathe this air
you are free to stop and stare
you are free to take in the view, but remember to share
