Love and Sex
Love and sex
Scattered on a sheet rock
Left to dry
Parcel of a graceless trade
You made a leger of the love we made
Painted pots
Centered in a diplomtaic case
Signals of a holocaust
You took the annex to the end
Heard a blast
Coming from the corner
Saved a life
By diving into a fire, well
Hope was that I might find you there
And I floundered in the sweetest way
Watched the paint chip off the portraits
I gave my life to love and sex
And I floundered in the sweetest way
Left my shadow with a tourist
I gave my life to love and sex
Never had
Someone with a real death wish before
Sinking in the open light
We’ll be invited when the time is right
A dangerous logic came to my door
I didn’t want it
A dangerous logic came to my door
I didn’t want it
Now I have to go through all the motions
I have these limbs and they are fire
You taught me how to bite the pain
And I floundered in the sweetest way
Watched the paint chip off the portraits
I gave my life to love and sex
And I floundered in the sweetest way
Left my shadow with a tourist
I gave my life to love and sex

Retrospect
Help me focus
Send me sideways
Give me your flesh
I’ll be your spade
The harder you tried
In retrospect
Something’d go wrong
Lets bury this mess
Caught me waiting
For the right time
Gender is rough
Hatred is kind
Is this the end?
Watch you nod off
Visit next year
Living high costs
And right in hell so am i
But you were the hero running
After the whole world don’t you know
Better than what I was headed for
And you think nothing’s changed
But you haven’t looked into these eyes
I can’t get up tomorrow
Just to idolize
Crowded spaces
Seconds on stilts
Built for contact
Clarion mask
Solemn bedrock
Drinking downstairs
Could have got stuck
Never looked back
And right in hell so am I
But you were the hero running
After the whole world don’t you know
Better than what I was headed for
And you think nothings changed
But you haven’t looked into the eyes
I can’t get up tomorrow
Just to idolize, to idolize
Yea and you think nothings changed
But you haven’t looked into the eyes
I can’t get up tomorrow
Just to idolize, to idolize
Help me focus
Send me sideways
Give me your flesh
I’ll be your spade
The harder you tried
In retrospect
Something’d go wrong
Lets bury this mess
Lets bury this mess

Faith Is Stranger
How’d you forget
When your father said
It cant be wise to take this world to heart?
You left your love alone and frail
Replaced in one exhale
Put me out my modern emperor
The faith is stranger than the street
I’m lucid in the mezzanine
Really swinging hard
What little time we have to talk
Covering up my eyes, up my eyes to watch
Sirens offshore bearing down with heavy lights
And you were my black and white
Built like a tidal wave
Soon to fall apart
Come in close my modern emperor
Come in close my modern emperor
Couldn’t choose a life to save
Take ‘em all away
And leave me with the consequences
Out of touch
You crept inside the tunnels waiting for the violence to let up
The people went away
So why did you give it up babe, like you can’t stand for nothing?
So why did you give it up babe, like you can’t stand for nothing?
So why did you give it up babe, like you can’t stand?
Sirens offshore bearing down with heavy lights
And you were my black and white
Built like a tidal wave
Soon to fall apart
Come in close my modern emperor
Come in close my modern emperor

Pendulum Man
In delirium
A world has just been torn
Taking the early bus to a job that keeps him calm
Out in the field there lies a rusting death machine
Patience is a lot of work when you’ve lost your sense of home
Call on me my friend if things been getting out of line
I have the temper to drown a few years down and still stay strong
Would it be kind to shed an ugly light on how you might be wrong
Or like a pendulum man do I give you what you want uh huh
A cut a kiss a lift out of entropy
Were you that surprised to hea she wants to be left alone?
For all of the old impassive stances that led this girl to leave her one
Who knows what I’d have done if my sweetheart had cut me off
Call on me my friend if things been getting out of line
I have the temper to drown a few years down and still stay strong
Would it be kind to shed an ugly light
Ah hell you might be wrong
But like a pendulum man do I give you what you want uh huh
Call on me my friend if things been getting out of line
I have the temper to drown a few years down and still stay strong
Would it be kind to shed an ugly light on how you might be wrong
Or like a pendulum man do I give you what you want uh huh
