Real Love

Trapped in a body with nothing inside me
I miss those lips as thick as thieves
My man is strong and yet he needs me
I need to be held in this regard
He walks with me when we are apart
He lays his hand in mine Gives a gentle squeeze
When we are together
I’m holding on to my memories
It won’t be long til you're back with me
Losing time can mean losing kindness
Refuel on love
Real love

This Dream

this dream
is not so crystalline
drips like lips lie mean
peeled painted solitaire regurgitate
this snake is fake he wisps
to my sweet ear bait

Come Back To Me
03:23

Come back
Come back to me
The wind is blowing bitter
In the night Through the trees
With bravado I crossed my deep
Spirit ran away from me
Seclusion is nothing I can’t take
But without her, all my words feel like silence
There is no rest assured
No wisdom to be learned
No dreaming til she returns
Come back to me

A Better Way

Buckle down
There’s a better way
To get back my pride without trying to hurt you
Settle down Try to get away
Bring on the salvant time to stick on the wound
So much longer, I tried to be better
So much harder, I tried to be fair
So much sweeter, I tried to deny this
So much stronger, I tried to save face
The seasons are wrong
It’s cold when you’re gone
The seasons are wrong
It’s cold when you stay
Oh my lover, you severed my kindness
Stripped the marrow straight out of my bones
My eyes you took over
I suffer from blindness
Oh my brother, the breeze is growing cold
The seasons are wrong
It’s cold when you’re gone
The seasons are wrong
It’s cold when you stay

Silver Accomplice

How many times have you looked into the mirror;
Seen your face, stepped away but the image crept much nearer?
Double take, double take, Silver accomplice
In the bedroom, there she’s waiting
Feel her waken from her sleep
Rub your eyes of crusted dreaming
Check the covers underneath
Where has she gone?
You cross the room Down through the hallway, there she’s lurking
With every doorway she passes through you
To the parlor, there she stands.
In the mirror see her watching
Only the mirrors see her watching
Now she’s gone Look again
Each reflection holds her glance
She’s my silver accomplice
She’s my cold, deliberate smile
She’s my teeth She’s my taste
Lets me see to smear the waste to my face
And I swear. She makes me bleed
The silver accomplice wears a stone cold smile
I can see her. I don’t believe her
Throw a sheet over the mirror
Too green for the picking
But I’m rotten when I ripen
Oooooh, I’m shaken
From the sermon within her reflection
