I Already Died

I ALREADY DIED
The psychic asked me
What was it that enchanted you so
I said the silver of her voice
The cyan in her eyes
Her skin of alabaster
But especially the glow
That made her different
From everything I know
No regret
I’m still astonished how we met again
As random as roulette
I cannot forget
That moment in December
When the mention of a word made us remember
I hear them whisper
They think I’ve changed
I’m alive but I already died From a broken heart
New Year’s day
Lost entirely for words to say
You said for both of us
I know we’ll be in touch
Opening the door to
The possibility of me with you
I never saw
March would bring a reason to withdraw
That frozen February
Was warmer than this spring
When life is solitary
And your absence is the by far the coldest thing
Out of the blue I conjure up the thought of you
I hear the silver of your voice
See the cyan in your eyes
Kiss your skin of alabaster
Feel the pain of never knowing what comes after
I hear them whisper
They think I’ve changed
I’m alive but I already died
From a broken heart

Firecracker

FIRECRACKER
You sparkle you’re a firecracker
Hot as a nuclear reactor
Shimmy like a salt shaker
Shuddering earthquaker
If you wanted it that way
Why don’t you get down on your knees and pray
We’re both getting tired
And it’s too late to get any higher
If you wanted it that way
Why don’t you get down on your knees and pray
We’re both getting tired
And you’re too far gone to get any higher
Wide open for a jawbreaker
Rug burns loudspeaker
Is it sulfer that I smell
If you’re the devil I’ll be happy in Hell
If you wanted it that way
Why don’t you get down on your knees and pray
We’re both getting tired
And it’s too late to get any higher
If you wanted it that way
Why don’t you get down on your knees and pray
We’re both getting tired
You’re too far gone to get any higher

Love Kills Slowly

LOVE KILLS SLOWLY
Love kills slowly
Love kills slowly
Teardrop diamonds
Crystal chains
Cut and bind you
Possession retraction
Last remains
Dance the voodoo
Love kills slowly
Love kills slowly
Dead end stop sign
Cul de sac
Passage forbidden
Broken window
Zodiac
Angels hidden
Love kills slowly
Love kills slowly

The Same Side of the River


THE SAME SIDE OF THE RIVER
I found the note
You wrote your number on
I never phoned you
I was afraid to
Loneliness is safe
What did it cost you?
What did you want to say?
I would have lost you anyway
When I’m alone I’m safe
We’re from the same side of the river
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t give her
To help her get back here
I’ll keep the pathway clear
When will we run out of time?
Do I ever even cross your mind?
What’s up with this waiting game?
I’m dying but I keep that flame
Burning in your name
We’re from the same side of the river
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t give her
To help her get back here
I’ll keep the pathway clear
I missed the last train out of nowhere
Now I’m lost searching for somewhere
Maybe it’s for the best
I can’t find your address

Playing in Stereo


PLAYING IN STEREO
This is cool, it’s great
It’s more than I hoped for
It’s meant to be, it’s fate
And that’s what we’re here for
What will be, will be, but I don’t know
I’m daydreaming all the time
Imagining scenarios
When you say what I think
We’re playing in stereo
We’re different channels in sync
Playing in stereo
The stars align, it’s a sign
It’s part of our astronomy
We get along, I see
According to astrology
This is amazing, and sublime
The chance of a lifetime
My thoughts are racing overtime
But everything will be fine
When you say what I think
We’re playing in stereo
We’re different channels in sync
Playing in stereo
