The blank page smiles a wide grin
Bonafide sin coming through this flaking skin
Making tin out of thin foil
My latest spoils found coils of emotion I could find with promotion
High above the relative ranks
Giving thanks to my first God, spreading wings to save our banks
Asking a simple question, no simple quest
I’ve regressed to find progress within
I undress my skin
Let’s begin once again
Find new bones when you’re alone, a ghetto of the mind
Only back among the future flaws do we pause to find
Legs left behind
See the truth underground, a wonder found
I plunder sound for keys to the sane
I administer the sinister exchange of pain
From brain to brain I’m on the game
Hand me another card before you think we’re all the same
You look flushed, with death I brushed
Compare the two fates, one waits for the others sake
All mothers ache with the same growth
The dames both have to upgrade and repel the soulful raids
On hearts that haven’t played awhile
Stay awhile, I wanna see you smile
Can I get some of that?
Can I spread the germ of a thousand words beyond and above what you might call love?
On the wings of the nearest dove we pin our hopes
Fuckin about with small talk while inner speech elopes
Dinners reaching for your throats, diamonds and coats in short supply
And people still think Mike is living in Dubai
Like the lonely rhabbi still praying through the floor
He can’t get his kicks anymore
Injecting lawsuits into his jaw
Clawing back some minutes spent well
I rent others spells, but all notions are dispelled
Emotions repelled with an iron first, a tiring wish stays awake
Expire me soon, there’s not a lot of love left for me to make
Faced with heartbreak

A gradual reprise fells trees with a finger snapped
Capped with a lot of bills, blood spills across the hills
Falling through rain with the intent to steal and maim
Mother nature is saturated with eventual justice
Must this war end in violence? Give the planet your life’s silence
Worst fear regretted, your youth begetted, forget it
Lord help the fearful, the tearful pleas turn to dreams
Remember back in the days when sleepovers was a faze of mindless ice creams
The climbing frame lied, and when your new name cried
You turned thirteen with the screen on your side
Feel good? It should
The backbone of wood spreads splinters
I’ve spent my whole life in one discontented winter
God bless the spinster
Dirty work for clean minds, although if you dig
You might find the party trick
Maybe I’ll turn to a girl and recite with spite all the rites of passage I didn’t manage
And with a hypocrites glare I’ll despair of finding solace
Finding a safe pair of hands to test the new polish
Restart death, without a breath I’m back to basics
Taking chances at the races, I’m out of place in your face
I run at a slow pace, I can’t go grace a beauty room
My only duty is my doom
No bride without a groom, sorry friends
Tying up all my loose ends, one tends to pretend while still on the mend
I bend and I break, without a cause to fake
Back to the lake where I swim on a steak
There’s no love left to make
Faced with heartbreak
