*Edging for a Decade

I’m just waiting for you

Waiting
Building
Breathing
Bending

Wishing
Needing
Seeking
Sighing

Wanting
Pressing
Stretching
Straining

Wondering
Exacting
Inviting
Invoking

Welcoming
Imagining
Agonizing
Languishing

Circling
Closing in
Crawling out of my skin
So unsure
Intangible and obscure

The moon and the stars and the sky are all here, waiting to see
What you do next

Did you mean for me to see into your soul like that?

Loop Within a Loop

Got stuck


It’s always a quagmire
Especially at this 
particular 
6 o’clock
in the 
morning 
Trying 
to figure out
why I cannot 
open
my own goddamn mouth


Move closer
so you can hear me
finally say what needs to be said
I’m usually loud as fuck
But I find that 
I Got stuck


Loops about loops
Endless fucking loops
I got stuck
Loops about loops
Endless fucking loops
I got stuck


Standing still
Watching as time and other people’s lyrics 
tell 
our 
story
And somehow
we
can’t find our own voices
Never mind all this music we’ve been making


Stuck in a holding pattern
Holding 
it all back
Sitting 
and waiting
For someone else to say 
What is 
obvious


I got stuck
Loops about loops
Endless fucking loops

Enough has built up
What is holding us back
Enough has 
built up
What is holding us back

Got Stuck

A Force That Counters Chaos

“No fortune could buy this”

There’s a monster
trapped in here with us
Crawling around 
underneath the floor
Dripping down the walls
Pooling on the floor
Always needs something 
Something from you

You feed it
but you wish it would go away
You can’t take any more
Invite it to come inside anyway
You beg for a force that counters chaos
You shine with a certain kind of fatal attraction 
You ask for the truth 
but you keep hiding 
Trapping yourself in the ashes 
of the bridges 
you’ve burned

I am the force that counters chaos
I am the truth in the dark
I am the lie inside the light
I am the cycle of life, death, decay

We’ve been drawn together
like water molecules
It has become such a delicate thing
But it tastes so bittersweet
And it trickles
down so slowly
We wish it would just pour forth 
and finally drown us

I am the force that counters chaos
I am the truth in the dark
I am the lie inside the light
I am the cycle of life, death, decay

Everyone wants the truth
But then they don’t like what they find
They don’t like the sounds 
those symptoms make
Bury themselves until the dirt becomes the sky

My clarity of vision is made from your bones
You wish for shelter in the safety of my womb
And you’ll cry out for more
and more
and more
and more
and more
control

This I cannot give you
This I will not give you
This I cannot give you
This I will not give you
This I cannot give you
This I will not give you
This I cannot give you
This I will not give you

My skies will always haunt you
