5 Bright Stars- that I’ve never seen before Step by step- walking on the checkerboard, you know Some things get easier with time Blood flows much easier when I know the blood is mine.
5 Dark Knights- sleeping underneath the skies Toss and turn- thinking of the way you died, I can’t Describe what is left of me more delicate than a lace Hold me in your hand then let me slip into the wind and watch me fly.
Sometimes the sky is filled with eyes.
5 Small Boys- I saw them inside a dream Step by step- but the checkerboard was green, you know They never cried they were a bubble in the air Flying in the wind they never knew that you were there all of the time.
They were oblivious to the feeling of your eyes.
Step by step- walking to the rabbit hole And there I will forget, slip into a black so fine That you were there with me when every wind was filled with time.
They say the rain will play that song again You know the way it will go. To feel his net within my mind again I’ll lead the way even so.
But if you’re gonna take a one time stand, then you’re a one time man You don’t know the way. If you want to say that they was wrong when they was barely born Save it for another day.
If you want to take the easy way and fly First you walk to the window by my side- Water running through the drain and Everything remains the same and
If you want to find the open road and go First you walk to the window and you’ll know- Clouds are foaming in the blue, man. Do you think they’re reforming you man?
I feel the baker take her time again Stir slow, stir slow all of the corn. Green fields appear within my mind again Grow slow, grow slow, only born.
But if you’re gonna take a one time stand, then you’re a one time man You don’t know the way. If you want to say that they was wrong when they was barely born Save it for another day.
If you want to take the easy way and fly First you’ll walk to the window by my side- Water running through the drain and Everything remain the same and
If you want to find the open road and go First you’ll walk to the window and you’ll know- Clouds are foaming in the blue, man. Do you think that they’re reforming you man?
You know the way to pull that cold from me Pull hard, pull hard, pull with your hand. My hair was rope inside your hand, you see Pull hard, pull hard see if you can.
But if you’re gonna take a one time stand, then you’re a one time man You don’t know the way. If you want to say that they was wrong when they was barely born Save it for another day.
If you want to take the easy way and fly First you’ll walk to the window by my side- Water running through the drain and Everything remains the same and
If you want to find the open road and go First you’ll walk to the window and you’ll know- Clouds are foaming in the blue, man. Do you think they’re reforming you man?
Leave the ones who love you Tell yourself they did you wrong Now you’re drinking in your bedroom Ceilings come to comfort you they fall on you like song.
Tell yourself they left you Every single day Clouds will come haunt you and pull you away Ride into the blue now. Ride it all away. Cause you change your mind to make it all okay.
I remember you now Seemed like we were one Wrap myself in your arms and your skin, I’m done I remember you now. Every single day. And you’ll change your mind to make it all okay.
Follow the things that lie Follow the things that change Follow the ways that times flows slowly into lines.
Cut from an easy time Cut from an easy strain Cut from the way that time flows slowly Slowly drifting into lies.
Thinking of your body Wasn’t even that Clouds will come to haunt you and cover you flat.
Only wanted something You couldn’t even try Reach for clouds to warn you, they turn you goodbye.
Follow the things that lie Follow the things that change Follow the ways that times flows slowly into lines.
Cut from an easy time Cut from an easy strain Cut from the way that time flows slowly Slowly drifting into lies.
Following you, you walk ahead of me Don’t need no one to tell me the things that my eyes can see. You look at your cars & you play all your games & I follow you round that’s the way that God made me.
And I want you to protect me but I know you won’t So I change my mind to make it all okay. Cause I know what you love most is just to be alone Because you love space so I fade away.
You don’t like my dog, you want me to be tan But when I reach for you, you feel like a man. And I watch you so careful, you stare at your beer And you talk about where you think you’ll go fishing next year.
And I want you to protect me but you think that’s gay Because you love space so I fade away.
Touch your face your nose your hair I love you. Wrap my arms around. Turn your head you pull your herb out. Then the light go down.
Gotta be silent, I gotta not to scream Cause said that loud noises can trigger your PTSD. So I ride in your car as the Tom Petty plays And you sing at the top of your lungs how you’re free falling.
And I wish you would protect me but I know you wont So I write a song to make it all okay. And my friends all tell me that I would be better alone Cause they hear me crying every other day. Fade Away.
Fruit Cocktail bought with my new EBT card in a bowl given to me by the women’s shelter who are also paying for my apartment. The single life is full of woe. If you are married- PLEASE never leave your husband. Especially if he orders you pizzas or takes you to chick fil-a. Especially if you can get dipping sauces & order breadsticks and fries and milkshakes. You would be insane to walk away from something like that. Nothing is worth more than the lump of a warm body combined with food.
Life is pain. Bang your head on the shining door Everything you went looking for In his eyes.
It was maybe a dream Worlds that bubble up from the floor Head is twisting a little more… Who am I?
Do you hear all the little things? They sing. All the little things, they say All the time we need to get back home, we’ll find.
Stay closely by Move slowly across the floor Everything you went looking for You’re about to find.
Close both of your eyes Hear the words that the people say Feel the waves come in cool and gray. You can feel a life.
Life is a flood. Pumping his dreams into your blood Heaving gently against the mud. Never alone.
Can you fight for the flame? Clawing your way towards the light. Bleeding silent into the night. Almost home.
Do you hear all the little things? They sing. All the little things, they say All the time we need to get back home, we’ll find.
Stay closely by. Move slowly across the floor Everything you went looking for You’re about to find.
Close both of your eyes. Hear the words that the people say Feel the waves come in coold and grey. You can feel a life.
Do you hear all the little things? They sing. All the little things, they sing. All the songs we need to get back home we’ll find.

They came on clouds to comfort me Lay down they said I close my eyes now, I close my eyes now They said one day they’d ride with me We’ll fly so far- invisibility.
Play play another game for they don’t know What may be coming down the line Lay out the cards or they won’t go So sure the king would come this time.
One man was fire, one man was rain What mad desire I close my eyes now, I close my eyes now Between the two, which one should I believe? I trusted fire the more- invisibility.
Play play another game for they don’t know What may be coming down the line Lay out the cards or they won’t go So sure the king would come this time.
And so fire came to get down on one knee And gift me pain I close my eyes now, I close my eyes now For I know that I was made to suffer and to bleed Hurt me more, invisibility.
Play play another game for they don’t know What may be coming down the line Lay out the cards or they won’t go So sure the king would come this time.
