Requiem
Dearest Faye I’m sorry I didn’t stay.
Didn’t pull the trigger and it fell anyway. It was all the things I never got to say.
I saw when you threw the glass to the wall. I realized then it was all my fault.
Never say what we mean always looking to go anywhere else just not home.
Now I’m out in this desert alone I see your face, your eyes leading me on.
I’ll trade all I can be to have you with me, I’ll give anything.
Say it so loud I need you to stay. I feel you floating away as you drift off to sleep.
Faye please find a way. And god says hell for me. That’s what it’ll be. Being me anything to make me believe. I’m trying to be.
Now I’m out in this desert alone I see your face, your eyes leading me on.
Just collapse and grieve is all you’ll say to me. My eyes are tired and my soul is weak as I drop to my knees.
Prelude
With a piecepaper I’m writing all down. This will be the last time. This is it, is it over now.
Ya I saw you in the mirror with a loaded gun. Finger on the trigger screaming- I’ve got no one.
Shoulda saw this coming and I never saw nothing.
I failed every time-does that count for something.What am I to do? Empty handed and hearted almost departed.
Save your face ill pull you through. That’s fine but who’ll save you? No matter it’s you I’m safely keeping.
I fell so fast just to catch you. Love in living room to hanging in the closet. Empty vessel never really feeling. I’ll never stop calling till your hear with me. Besides you can’t leave me this can’t be over.
Song 2
Burn that mountain air. I feel it in my head. Begin to drift. I’m thinking of the dead. I sure it’s never me. Standing by your side again. Waking all alone with no friends. So Lucy what will it be. Please don’t pick a fight. Makes for a long night. I hear you scream for me…to be better than I am.
And all these bones say start again.
Let’s tumble down this hill to the fire. A step through the looking glass. First ones a doozie for a floozy, that’s you, (ya that’s you). Split second reflection, no changing direction. Swear it’s not the same as before. You’ve changed, I’ve changed, yet the bullshit remains. I’ll watch you slip, the edge of the cliff and the lies you’ll drown in.
And all these bones say start again.
Oh i know its clever, still feel my endeavors would be better spent on anyone but you.
Progress
Just breathe. Its ok to grieve. It’s exactly what you need. There was time to be anything. Press your hands into me into you. Feel the light break on your face. It’s not over yet. Your hair in the breeze enamors me. Don’t let it get you down, just hear the sound. It will embrace you now.
Sunlight makes you light makes you strong. Make me strong.
Finally here, it’s finally clear. it’s all for you. On a train,you’ve waited years they seem like years. On the move trees silhouette your smile. No matter how slight I can see.

Time Keeper
A misstep in direction. A modest discretion. A clever inception. I won’t win so you can lose. I think I need to go. Can’t hold you close. I would like ta think I’m the most. Keep it with me. Still see the strip for it will be. I’m trying to be anything. It’s the only thing. It’s a sight to see It’s a sight to see Hold on dear, I’m trying to be different. Hold breath false start, meaningless life restart. Living trying. I walked clean through rainy homes. Waiting for lightning to strike twice. Is this worth it. Keep your words, they burn my chest. Soft speak and unsaid things. Take my time with you It’s a sight to see It’s a sight to see
