there’s a flickering light around 
the corner down my street
so that when it gets dark its hard 
to know just where to put my feet 

it’s an invisible wire
we try to grasp and follow down
to avoid the holes littering the ground
our inexstinguishable fire
burnt to last and brighter now
it’s color blinding red
we might be better off dead, but we’re not yet

a shadow’s only here for half the time
and the other half it rests
strung out in shopping malls
dreaming of its first kiss
don’t let it be a part of me
it tempts me I confess
tender, lonely, and beautiful
I wish I could still care less

reaching higher and higher
walking elevated now
toward the edges someway somehow and holding tight
to an invisible wire
we try to grasp and follow down
to avoid the holes littering the ground
our inextinguishable fire
burnt to last and brighter now
it’s color blinding red
we might be better off dead, but we’re not yet


Not Yet (midi Track)

she’s been dancin’ on the tip of my tongue for a while
and I’ve been breathing even, sweatin’ on for close to a mile
and I believe that it was me who was “not sure
of what the point is if you know you can’t get hurt”
but I know I’ll never clean these damn sheets

these are my old chords and they’re headed right for you
they’re a little wild sometimes but tonight I’ll keep them blue
so pour another drink and keep this feelin’
keep this dawnin’, keep this hauntin’
keep on ringin’ till my fingers stain the wood

smoked a lot as I’ve been thinkin’ tonight girl
and I’ve been coughin’ up a whole mess of blood
but I’m a dick addicted to the life (hurl)
yeah, I don’t believe in the end of the road
but I know I’ll never clean these damn sheets
it takes a real man to believe in what he says
but I’m no so sure I’ve got e’rything alright in my head
I’ll never clean these damn sheets

Losing It
