Pitter Patter

pitter patter
a flurry of beats
rhythm rising to crescendo
{ burst } it batters you
interfere to clarify
but this is no melody { that has been played }
so it splutters
gasps for air
as an unseen tree falls alone : silent
membranes crease fists clench
consumed by essence advance : blind
struck spark
a flame engulfs
vexed : rising to crescendo
{ burst } it batters you again and again and again and... .. .
stop! this has to stop
there are absolutes and i will absolutely not
so it spluttered
gasped for air
and an unseen tree fell alone : silent

Street Car Scene
02:56
|

when your smiles spread to your face
your procelin heart won't break
when your trained eyes will obey you
nothing moves and nothing gets though
how discreet, street car scene on your movie screen
while travelling light, wear sneakers, jersey and jeans
introducing your new martyr
exemplar to build and burn down
i'll be your martyr now
introducing your new martyr

This is Photoshop
02:46

we are all gifted
experts of course
even the ones who crashed
to join our populous
wildly creative
we are the elite
we are the mass market
our appeal is at hand
free independant spirits
who wear uniforms
saturated incompetance
the chic obese
we package our souls
to sell at studio rates
this is only a job
i keep telling myself
over and over again
it's not design
it's photoshop
this is not for you
don't you see it?
we're already suffocating
there is no room
you don't want this
it's too late for us
save yourself

"See, I'm a hardcore gymnast. No way jumping up and down yelling 'GO TEAM GO!' is gonna satisfy me."
this is only a test!
go team go team go!
"You know what? ...count me in!"

you touched my heart and then you left me
with nothing but your fingerprints
now i want you gone, i have to start over
but how can i remove your {stains?}
the more i wash, the more i rinse, i can not erase this shame and pain
i soaked my heart and it turned grey
all signs of life have been drained
my eyes they burn from amonia
as i attempt to pin it to my {sleeve}
for the world to see this heart is no longer mine {no!}
i gave it away i denounce all rights i ever {had}
everything i've tried, but nothing {works}
this song is my heart break
this rhythm despair
one step forward two steps back
one hand means two more grabbin' on
and when the hole in my chest finally closes
and the hollow sound of my no heart echos in me

Rock 'n Roll Eulogy
02:09
|
|||
this is dedicated to the loving memory of myself
the part of myself i have put to rest
this eulogy of self, my last will and testament
a final resting place
for past disapointments
i've buried the anger .ANGER
i've buried the fear .FEAR
with nothing left to mourn
i'll walk away
i throw the last handfull of dirt
on a life once lost and bury any trace
this soil and depth will redeem me
the quicker i can move on
the quicker i can forget
wash the last of the past off my hands and stamp
the present from my shoes
i want nothing of this memory to linger
and the quicker i clean and stamp it away
it was never your fault
