It is Yes
I’m a liar
it plainly shows
a reckless dance
I can’t control
I am good
clean like snow
hide all my fear
can’t let it go
Milk and honey
they burn my throat
this disease is cured
in hushed tones
on bent knees
at ancient thrones
I am slipping
don’t let me go
For every question that is spoken
the answers yes and it's no
If I don’t forgive
will my darkness grow?
if I am saved
can I let it go?

Broken Bones

Broken Bones
I keep the yard clean
in the summer heat
poppies on the table
I set nice and neat
I sit in a silence
once filled by three
and try not to mind
I kiss my rosary
like my mom kissed my neck
like my father would want
his blood fills my chest
and I’ll try to get clean
till I’m covered in sweat
and I’m satisfied
I was buried
before I was grown
under granite skies
and azure stones
each autumn’s frost
deepens my scars
each year I smoother them
with sap and tar
until they find the bodies
in my back yard
I’ll have nothing on my mind
My love won’t cry
my love won’t moan
she never worries about
her broken bones
in my bed at night
I’m never alone
if I pretend
I was buried
before I was grown
under azure skies
and granite stones

Anymore
We tore stars from the night
we felt too graceful to die
painted patterns in gravel
to hide our worried sighs
now the sky ‘s black as blindness
and I can’t,
see you anymore
The moons made of paper
the radios low
I turn off my headlights
static takes me home
and I try with all my might,
but I can’t
hear you anymore
We fade to gray
and who’s to blame
for the fall and the break
and pieces that remain
at night when I wake
why do I whisper your name
So you have your story
and I have mine
there’s no use living
off borrowed time
no use chasing a waning dream
that we can’t
reach anymore

You Won’t Be There (To Love Me)
Louder, pain of my pain
allow all your screaming
to claw at my amber door
and shake in rooms meant for dreaming
You won’t be there to love me
you won’t be there to love me
Faster, rage of my rage
with bittersweet tastes of deceit
there’s no reeling in pieces
after biting concrete
Your pulse is shaken clean in hushed flutters
their quiet ends tell me dare not try for better
I’m a million miles away eyes sobbing in stutters
You won’t be there to love me
you won’t be there to love me

So Sleep

So Sleep
Let moonbeams protect you
and build up a wall
from dreams too mean to bare
no matter how tall,
they will crumble and fall
cause when you’re near there’s no despair
Sleep
let go of your sadness
and sleep
understand my love is never leaving
so sleep
I know the cold and the rain
are always near by
but you’re free to rest your head
and let yesterdays die,
and lonesome songbirds sigh
from the candlelight that warms our bed
Sleep
let go of your sadness
sleep
understand my love is never leaving
so sleep
Run my hand down your side
like a path I once knew
like god once traced the horizon
and your eyes ’ll open soon
like pearls faint blue
on the world as the sun rises
