Nowhere

It kills me though it makes me live.
Could you be true, after all of this ?
How, with a song, could you make me love you again?
And is it love? Or is it something else entirely?

You can be so beautiful, once you wipe away the blood.
Just lift the shades from your eyes,
A million miles away.
Never dull,
I'll give you that.

And something is moving beneath
Water under the boat
Keeping it afloat
And tossing it to death
Like a toy in the street.
But the echoes in your voice
Rang out so emerald green
Did I ever have a choice?
In the epic beauty of the creases
Made on your notes
Riding passenger
In the fairy tale boat
That found stardust in death
And love in pain.

That's where we grieve now
Where once again we find just how
The silence is always so loud
And the sting pushes me there
Into your arms and your touch
How can you stay so calm ?
When I hate you so much?

You know its the closest to love
You can come.

And it is so beautiful, Baby love,
My honey, dripping down and sticking
Holding on sweetly.
Your angel was the assassin
The sky held the devil
He watched us dancing
With the dying honey bee
And the sidewalk saw
Like your heart does.
But I lied to you
And you know it's true
Darling running through tar
Speaking like molasses
Running down my back
Driving in , and slithering within.

Move that skin across the strings
Train heaving it
Moving through and framing him
But you are all your own
And blossom late you did
Rotting on yellow foam
Blindly heading home
Instinct run through veins of steel
Gone black and slimy but electric as the eel
Do you remember how to feel?

The gaps and holes left broken open
These burning fireflies of lost hope
But the drama hung you with a twine rope
That sliced you down to the very bottom
Of the love you wished for
The very end of the heart you bore
And here in this darkening hour
I find once again the words
Come again the herds

Of prophecy and lies
Of hope and demise
Of triumph and cries
Of superficial prices
And empty, unmarked dices.

So swim round and round
This little dish
I'll love you then and make my wish
For you to walk on those two legs
For you to kneel there and beg

But in the kindness of humanity
The bliss of rancid sanity
I'll save you then where your eyes turn black
And the sun goes red

Free the breath in your lungs so that your veins
Might return to their natural state
To love and to hate
And you can walk among us
As the man you told them you were
And what did you leave on my door?

Honey, there is always more.
More and more and more and more
And and and and
More.
Rain
Flame
And
And
Walk me down your picture frame
Emerge from shame
Into fame
Baby say my name
Baby say my name
Yours to be said
Mine to be fed
Lie in my bed
Just say it then,
Say your name .
