What trials have my selfish pursuits penned in confusion?
(Leave me be belief)(oh indefinite inquiry! )
And what noble creations can come from any cursed man?
And if his conviction for honesty in his art
Should lead to corruption,
What punishment would see justice done?

A destitute silhouette consumes my reverie
What part of me draws this scene
To erase you?
Such an innocent scene to tell me
I am not a good person

A dream consumes my mind
That will never convince my hands
A song consumes my heart
That will never cross my lips</

I'm walking in a crack, scraping dirty hands on eyes so big and white. Indecisive as always. Watching you spit on yourself.
It's a party for the particles amid brown ant-covered bird carcasses.

I can't hold anything together. My teeth keep falling out.
I'm a neo-paleolithic man in

This sin offering stretched out before a guilty world
This atoning blood spilled out for a sinful world

(Christ who came to save the world,
Who suffered death and, on the third day, rose again
Inscribes the book of life with the names of the righteous)

Undeserving of forg

We're waiting solemnly at a crowded intersection
I might have confronted your hopes
A scratched screen glows inside a red room
Your comments tempting the lonely night
Our only refuge a sketchbook

Soft words and brief smiles
on the steps in the statue of liberty.
Her thin arms embrace me.
All her friends are going to a party tonight.

Goodbye is all that we ever say
in the dim light behind the stage.
We say goodbye and we go our own
lonely ways

Will we m

Haa tang kao mai?
The beginning - a condensed expanse
The stars contained in one golden point and released in a black collage
From brook to bank to book
To honeysuckle these memories drowned
These secrets laced in the summer air

These sullen songs - the testament of my

Whenever your around I can't keep my heart in my chest,
I can't keep my feet on the ground.
Your the girl that makes me happy to be anywhere if you are there.

She snuck up on me,
I saw her eyes in the shadows
in the folds of a black curtain,
I just wanted to kiss her.</

I lost a red sea shell
on the boardwalk by the Ferris Wheel,
went to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean,
and I didn't come up for six years,

but I've got my mirror,
and I've got my room.

I lost a porcelain doll
in the skeleton of an old barn.
Beneath the ashes o

I saw you three times today
I saw two birds
Trapped in a white dome
A miserable road corroborates
Is it any wonder that I sing from a white porch?
Our careless mother - she'll never listen to us
But we will always love her

From a dirty sofa she curses the guilty

Every time I sing I think of you. The only person I should never think of.
Some kind of love, rotting. Love never seems to ever last long,
but the flowers, the flowers last forever

Emotion can't walls innocent words pencils conveyed needs stared withered the beautiful orchid

I like us made of lead believed our eyes would meet

The winter my gift to give
A faded picture to hold and
Know you no more

A promise believed our eyes would meet
Watching

A silver moon is hanging in the sky,
with one lonely star to wish upon tonight.
We're in my car at a red light,
and you're right beside me, but you're so far away.

I saw you with someone else,
while you were holding on to me.
(I saw you with someone else,
while you

Small hands folding canvas and plastic in low light
Besides the butcher's bellies smiling,
The cleaver falls and
Coins roll like thunder

Under the shuffle of worn shoes and excited voices
There are snakes here she'd the skin of a man

Isn't life perfect for you?

In a city made of sand (with my old kit bag at my side)
Agleam with lights and dreams
(With my broken guitar across my knees)
I sat outside the spookhouse at sunrise
I saw a million faces without a clue
Watching their fathers playing in the sand

That's my love! so close to the grave,

You heard my oath
You saw the blood on my face
I was the ghost
You saw through rain warped windows
But I chose to build my garden in the shade
Threw all my drawings and all my feelings away

He's a star, you know his name

The riotous jubilance set the solemn dusk ablaze
(Sirens, laughter, lights)(games, rides, fights)
Seagulls calling from the lonely pier
Standing in line for the Ferris wheel

Moonlit memories lapping at the docks
(The sky exploding in competing brilliance)
(A name spelle

You wanted new words
To take a small part of me

You left me wandering listening to willows
Whispering in hushed breezes blowing kisses
(I'm still waiting for you)
The words I gave you will never be spoken again
(Against the stage door)

These gentle hands that comfort me in my infirmities,
May they also guide me in the confusion of my securities
A voice as clear as my conscience agrees, disagrees
And speaks deeper truths than I can receive

In the comfort of my strength may I be most penitent

Let your tru
