I want to light you up and watch you burn
Beautiful bastard child of the sun
Crazy you may be but there's a lesson to learn
From the strobes you shine on everyone

Light me up, let me fall
Ride me sideways against the wall
Flushed with fever, still giving your all
Filled with the light you shine on everyone

Memory like fantasy
Time, release your grip on me
I live only through the drugs, you see
This crap they'll feed to anyone

Itching skull and begging bowl
Living down in a powdered hole
And every day another soul
Lost in the light you shine on everyone

("Duloxetine" opens with a couplet from the poem "The Loves of Apollo" by Gwared Sheridan.)

Duloxetine

Far from complete, but just a bit of proof that I'm not completely dead in the water.

Your Own Sweet Time

Rest: you are immune to the grief
Blessed: with uncompromising teeth
Shed: you create what you seed
Bled: of the fire and the deed

Fled from the open and the closed
Red has not the power you supposed
Dead to the world and in my eyes
You said that you would never compromise

We just laid around and sang nothing
We had to have all the time in the world, but it ran out
Lasting all night long, we ran and then ran some more
You have never grasped what it takes
To outrun a shout

We just laid around and said nothing
We had to have all the love in the world, but it ran out
Lasting all night long, we sang and then sang some more
You have never grasped what it takes
To form a shout

No one showed you the path
No one showed you the way
No one gave you the key
No one told you to stay
No one accessed your root
No one opened your lid
No one lit up the room
No one could do what you did

Poking this Idiot Doesn't Seem to be Working

He has always been the lonely one
He has always made you laugh
He has always been the lonely one
But there's no other way to

Ask him for
His uniform
Come to the warm
Come to the warm

He has always been the lonely one
But his ice will someday crack
He has always been the lonely one
But someday you'll bring him

Back toward
His uniform
Into the warm
This wish unformed

He has always been the lonely one
He has always been the lonely one
He has always been the lonely one
But there's no other way to

Ask him for
His uniform
His bitter storm
His wish so warm

His wish so warm
His uniform

He has always been the lonely one

Harmyard

Move when I move you
Hush when I crush you, oh
Give me the truth when I soothe you
Blush when I touch you, oh
Only the one chance
To tell me why you love me so
Only the one chance
And I'm in the front row
Oh

This is a warning
Never a second chance
Never ignore me
Never a sideways glance
Bliss taking over
Manic and monstrous, I'm whole
Craving all the wrong things
I've got to get a shot at you solo
Oh

And it's only now as you fake your vow
You turn this around and do me proud
And it's only now as you turn me down
For my body count, I let the lights go—

—Down when I soothe you
Clowning around again
Living with the lights out
Baby, we could end up dead
Cause a commotion
Expect me to forgive and forget
Is that what you're hoping?
'Cause no one's beaten me yet
Oh

And it's only now as you fake your vow
You turn this around and do me proud
And it's only now as you turn me down
For my body count, I let the lights go down
As you fake your vow
Turn me around and show me how
And it's only now as you turn me down
For my body count, I let the lights go down

Lesson be learned
This tide can never be turned
Alexandria as it burned
Could not compare
No matter who you are
You're a better thing by far
Forever raising the bar
And I can't compare

Move when I move you
Hush when I crush you, oh
Give me the truth when I soothe you
Blush when I touch you, oh
Only the one chance
To tell me why you love me so
Only the one chance
And I'm in the front row
Oh

And it's only now as you fake your vow
You turn this around and do me proud
And it's only now, as you turn me down
For my body count, I let the lights go down
As you turn this around
Break the ice with the sweetest sound
And it's only now, as you turn me down
For my body count, I will not let you down

Never turn those shining headlights down
