Back of my hand
Forehead
Wipe
plastic sweat
Close call
Heartbeat rise
Shallow grave
Bad idea
Two can play
Count me out
Candyland slide
Back home again
Fear not
Ain't skeerd
No turning back
Bevey of beauties
Untouched
Retouch that painting
So much for art
Say goodbye
Goodnight
Back of my hand swells
No joy in the night
Crickets remain
Celebrate their delight

One finger on his pulse
One finger up his ass
He didn't know
Which way to turn
And neither did we

Calm demure smiles
She hid her true intent
One last leap of faith
And, she hoped
No more torment

Friends in the tens
A cacophony of opinion
He had a hard enough time
Listening to the only words
Anybody else could hear

With a clear conscience
And a beard like Moses
He said that
There was a trespasser
In his soul
He didn't say
Who or what he meant
He just mumbled
Vague warnings
And a threat in the event...
And he stopped right there
Fixed me with his gaze
Waited
Nodded
And began a new
Mumble haze

Tears fall
One at a time
One for each regret
Each lost love
One for each fading memory

Hitchin a ride
From time to time
Gettin nowhere
Down the road
You call sometimes
Ringin payphone
Cross the street
You been all over the world
Lovin who you meet
I put up this town
Not meanin to settle in
But my ride
It's not movin
And you done gone
Down the the road

The drivel spills
Over my chin
When did it
Start
What was
My sin

The key that leads nowhere

The key that leads nowhere
The flowers in her hair
The single bloom in winter
The smile I once knew

Wrapped in a memory
Put on a shelf
I've forgotten my purpose
I'm somebody else
I've spent too much time
Being alone
I've put away sanity
I never atoned
Sombody somewhere
They said that they cared
I should have known better
You would have been spared

The door left open
The stems without bloom
The snows cover all
The nothingness I know
