Each moment at hand Is open invitation To the promised land
Elaborate mazes Of conjured phrases Tickle the ear Of literary peers But don’t read the type
My daughter said the other day I’m glad my father ran away So we could find relationship Without my mother ruining it
I’m not the one That I should be I’m just the man You came to see Imperfect you
Mom and Dad don’t love you They’re already tuned To their own sweet song Fireflies in June You are just an extra
Ev’ryone’s so shiny and bright Double rainbows and laser lights I guess that’s why I’ve come to c… To be the dark side of the moon
Always lived a life that’s been Filled with devils, marked by sin Never thought my darker side Be the thing that brings you light
Hey there Watcha doin’ Wanna play with me I’ve got Crystal balls
Powdered salt snowflakes Dusted on stubborn dead leaves Life’s perfect white noise
Face down in gutter again Seems to be my closest friend Where I land time and again Nothing new except the end
My brain doesn’t work like it norm… It doesn’t think of the funny rema… Or witty sayings It doesn’t jump from scene to scen… Most of the time it’s too busy
Chose a path Not like the rest Takes a strength That can’t be matched But...
My baby’s got Curly red hair Shimmering eyes Freckles to spare Likes to play games
Open your heart to love So you might be able To love your open heart
Remembering that fateful day I wish I hadn’t run away I saw the fire in your eyes And it froze me as if a spire I thought I’d have a cooler head
