SKINWALKER
i will be an animal to you
there will be a place
you cannot find me
substitutes. impostors will not do
your clubs of hate and mace
will never blind me
red is not your color
force not on your side
and i will be an animal to you
underneath your skin i will reside
your clubs of hate and mace
will never silence me

CREATURE SMILE
that look i want to freeze for a future time
for everyone to see
modeled by the shapes of things to come
snow falls around your face and i
follow you inside
into your den of silver and gold
those traps they set will never capture you
they want your skin but you hold on tight
until it’s time to fight
skin of fire. crystalline eyes
i must confess i want them all for myself
maybe in the next world
time will tell
words spill like wine
from a creature’s smile
those traps they set will never capture you
they want your skin but i hold on tight
to you tonight

RETICULATA
fingers out
heart tucked in
here we go
into the deep end
find the cord
plug it in
here we go
into the deep end
i’m just a refugee
in this hotel room
i see your face
in my rear view

LAST BREATH
she whispered softly
i’m saving my last breath for you
meet me on the corner downtown
in case of emergency break the glass
porcelain that melts your fingertips
all eyes on the one for your heart rips
washed up on the shore
amongst the algae and debris
crustaceans crawling out from underneath
the shredded white dress she wore
on her last day
porcelain that melts your fingertips
all eyes on the one for your heart rips
porcelain that melts your fingertips
all eyes on the one for your heart rips
i’m saving my last breath for you my love
sometimes i think it won’t come soon enough
there could be a lifeline for everyone
lifeline, throw me one

AERIAL
in my sky there can be no rules
so please shut up and fly
don’t look down
it will mess you up
the trick is to stay high
and if we’re close to the sun
satellites spinning by
gravity pulls us in
hopelessly lost and on our own
radio silence on
remember the times we spent together
when nothing was going wrong
fly blind to the lies below
and we all crash and burn
in my sky there can be no rules
but to please shut up and fly
and if we’re close to the sun
satellites spinning by
gravity pulls us in
hopelessly lost and on our own
radio silence on
whatever happened to the even keel
and ordinary day

SOONER:LATER
all the stars you knew are m.i.a.
or just about to fall
there wasn’t anything i wouldn’t do for you
your picture’s on my wall
i don’t know why you haunt me
i can’t get you out of my head
i pretend you see me
even though you’re 20 years dead
glamour is so real
for those that are confident and beautiful
all those things your friends use to talk about
meant nothing to you
i have so much to tell you
i’ve written many poems and songs
dress up as if you see me
even though you’re 20 years gone
i’ll be seeing you sooner or later
maybe one day this space will disappear
and our hearts will synchronize
until then i remain sincerely yours
when you materialize
i have so much to tell you
i’ve written many poems and songs
dressing as if you see me
even though you’re 20 years gone
i’ll be seeing you sooner or later

FOR THE STRANGE
this goes out to the strange
we really need you here
i can tell that you care
and way beyond your years
some will want to destroy you
others might save the day
there’s no promise they’ll love you
when truth gets in the way
i can help you play out
the hand that you’ve been dealt
it’s tempting to turn your back
throw it all down the well
you have to kill your televison
and listen to yourself
roads of change stretch out ahead
take a look at us
we are not dead
far from dead

PARTICLES
at my table we listen
to the soothing white noise from
the tv and the radio
hands on the car keys
blue curtains blowing through the
open window
dial it down
this strange dichotomy
creeps up from behind
and i die for a minute

OPAQUE
if words were bullets
and guns were made of skin
would death be less painful?
if you leave me there bled loveless
kill me now
but i know you wouldn’t dare
we are relative
invisible chains wrap us well
the kind that won’t shake loose
won’t shake loose or fail
if you leave me there bled loveless
kill me now
but i know you wouldn’t dare
we are relative
if there’s a moment in time
i could hold in my hands
it would be this one
your words never fail

CASTLES
you’re roaming my halls of finery
and walk a crooked path to my door
statues tumble, curtains tear
you enter crawling on the floor
i’m waiting for you to stand up
and fill in those holes you made
inside our castle in the air
but you can’t keep it clean
the pages of my diary are filled
up with the stories of the day
bittersweet and magical we are
so i can’t let you fall
we lead a charmed life
such a charmed life
yeah we lead a charmed life
everybody says
but it’s a long way down
yeah it’s a long way down
the pages of my diary are stained
with the blood we shed for us
i married into damage this i know
but i can’t let you fall

SAINTS FORGET
big hands might uproot you
stay big inside
perversity will shred you
stay big inside
doctrine will cage you
got to stay big inside
flags parades and pageantry
stay big inside
saints forget all about thee
stay big inside

TEENAGE RED
a stare is all it takes
for you to fall
so new to the touch
of skin and lips and love
in darker ways then
the river of oblivion
the first one floats on
and remains for you to cling to
when everything
falls away
