She's skilled in the art of seduction
It’s just another form of self-destruction
She’s so beautiful
But she’s cruel

And she’s so sorry that she does this
But all’s fair in love and politics
She'll be your religion
your sovereign jewel

And she will love you as much
as she loathes her own spoilt skin
And she will break your heart
so repent your serpentine sin

And she will love till she leaves you
She swears she'll never deceive you
 But as with all great trysts
One heart must cease

She was born pure, with good intentions
 But so soiled with inattention
With each aimless affair
She does but keep the peace

And she will love you as much
as she loathes her own spoilt skin
And she will break your heart
so repent your serpentine sin

Podcast #3: Are You Tired of Trying So Hard?

I don't know where to begin 
So I'll dig you up from under my skin 
Dangling out on a limb 
Though the hurt is thick I am thin

Dancing on the head of a pin
I don't know where to begin
Wallop me like waves I’m wavering 
The sea floor seems more sheltering

Too light to sink but I can't swim
I drift without aim till the sky is dim
I don't know where to begin
Digging under doors for a way in 

You're just a little god made of tin 
You wither beneath weight of the win
Patching together bits of skin 
I think I might know where to begin 

Don't know just how it's ending
But I hope I know where to begin


Where To Begin

I got cracks in my bottom lip
And his child on my hip

I got smoke and soot in my lungs
And a dried out story teller’s tongue

I got rheumatoid and rope burns on these wrists
And I’m fluent with my fists

I got two clouded windows for eyes
And a gaping gap between my hungry thighs

I got scars scattered all across my skin
And blue and black front and back of these shins

But you, 
You are moonbeams
And you, 
You are sweet dreams 

And you,
You are sunlight
With you, 
I’m almost alright

Your kiss won’t mend my bottom lip
But I’ll be damned without your hand on my hip

Woman Work

Dreams
what am I to do with you
It seems
you're always creeping in 

Eyes buckle beneath dead weight
There's so much time for you to fill
Lay me down, tell it to me straight
Make me scared I love you still

Night
there's nothing tender about you
You might 
be quiet, but I know

When my mind drifts deep into the black
you waste no time and come alive
Like you never left, you're always back
I dread the moment you arrive

Screaming matches in the bathroom
Saying sorry like you mean it
The more I ask questions
The more it gets heated
You wish it never ended
Then you leave again again again
The curtains close, the screen goes black
And that's the end

Dreams
You know they're awfully flimsy
And what they mean
depends on who you ask

Subconscious urge or secret code
I can't help that you're on my mind
Looking for a truth I am owed
But surely one I'll never find

I'll never find

Dreams

Saturday Cover 7 - I Am Easy to Find by The National

Saturday Cover 8 - Tourniquet by Hem

Somewhere in North Dakota 
There’s a girl that looks just like you
And she’s walking the streets alone
Like you used to do

And she’s got a strange fondness
For the scent of cigarettes
She loves lighting candles 
And watching sunsets

Her friends all say, where’s daddy?
Did he leave you all alone?
But she knows her daddy’s coming home

And her friends say, Where’s daddy?
But they don’t know who you are
‘Cause she knows her daddy’s
A rock star

Somewhere in North Dakota
There’s a girl that looks just like you
At a college graduation 
Dressed in robes of gold and blue

And she’s got a burning hope
For that empty folding chair 
To be filled by an absent father
Who was never there

And her friends whisper, Where’s daddy?
Did he leave you all alone?
And she wishes her daddy had come home

And her friends say, Where’s daddy?
But they don’t know who you are
She wishes her daddy 
Hadn’t been a rock star







Somewhere in North Dakota
There’s a girl who looks just like you
And she’s walking the streets alone
Like you used to do

And I don’t know if I can love you
Until you love her 


For Richard

So I put on my mask
And I do as I’m told
And if she ever asks
I’m fine

So I put on my mask
And I paste on a smile
And if she ever asks
I’m fine

Just knocking over clocks again 

So I put on my mask
And I say it’s all right
And if he ever asks
I’m fine

So I put on my mask
And I stifle a sob
And if he ever asks
I’m fine

Just knocking over clocks again 

I’m not who I say
Living in a palace in West Egg
I’m wearing this mask
To keep safe

Wasn’t even mine
See how it shatters on the marble
As it fell of the mantelpiece
Into pieces

Just knocking over clocks again 
But it’s not as it was then


Gatsby

I never meant to hurt you
I’m no murderer of men
If I could I would go back
And do it all again

As my voice was carried
By the ocean breeze
And delivered to your vessel
Across all seven seas

It lured you back to me
And whispered
Come to me

Your judgment clouded
Drowned in sweet melody
To the rocks it led you
It led you straight to me

As I saw your ship approaching
Our jagged seaside stones
I knew in moments your men would be
Reduced to brittle bones

I whispered, flee from me
Or be swallowed by the sea

Your men were finally taken
And acquainted with the dark
But you my darling captain
Had a place safe in my heart

I led you below the surface
To the kingdom where we reside
Your soul was extracted
And your human flesh set aside

Your soul now immortal
It was you and I for eternity
Our love could live forever
Now you belonged to me



I cried out, stay with me
Or be swallowed by the sea
I never meant to hurt you
I’m no murderer of men
And if I could I would go back
And do it all again
