Dear Beautiful Button Eye
Button nose
No body Knows
Why the wild wind
Smashes her body
Against the coast
Words are all turned around
Looking back at the sound
From whence they came
And all of our tongues are tied
Speaking in riddles and rhymes
I cant tell what I’m thinking at this time
When you put me on the spot
I dig a hole through the floor
Back to the ocean
Am I really that wave
Crashing and thrashing
Are you really that storm
Quietly waiting
With your hand on your heart
Am I really that wave
Crashing and thrashing
Are you really that storm
Quietly waiting
Dear Beautiful Button Eye
Button nose
No body knows
Why the wild wind
Smashes her body
Against the coast
Am I really that wave
Crashing and thrashing
Are you really that storm
Quietly waiting
With your hand on your heart

Little Neon Vampire
Drinks bubblegum blood
From a blue eyed boys
Soccerball head
And a hairy beast
Tethered to a skinny leash
Drags his tongue
On the hot concrete
Strange places
Skateboard faces
Skid kids wasted like little snakes
With faces
Shake shake little liquid tears
Flutter silk
Spider thread
Cover your chest
Carry your babies on your back bone
Sacrifices to the wolf throne
hHold your arms in a cross bone
Hold your arms in a cross bone
Long life noodle
Little girl with cake face
Rides her BMX like a beast of burden
Through the streets of Saturn
Big black boots
Knee high against hot blue sky
Heavy set bleach blond curl pearl
Carrying flowers to her mother
Shake shake little liquid tears
Flutter silk
Spider thread
Cover your chest
Carry your babies on your back bone
Sacrifices to the wolf throne
Hold your arms in a cross bone
Hold your arms in a cross bone

The Reluctant Being
05:16

The being was
Scared to be born
It turned and turned
Around and around
In its enclosure where
It was warm and there was no
Sound
I called out to it
I called out to it
I called all of its names
But still it never came
I called out to it
I called out to it
I called all of its names
But still it never came
The being was afraid of the light
It curled up curled up curled up tight
In a small small ball
Hoping it would
Disappear
But it did not
It still was there
It hid it’s little face
From the world
It felt disgraceful
In it’s being formed
Out of skin and bone
I called out to it
I called out to it
I called all of it’s names
But still it never came
I called out to it
I called out to it
I called all of its names
But still it never came
The being
Went inside its little mind
Searching for
The voices it had left behind
In another place
In another place
I called out to it
I called out to it
I called all of it’s names
But still it never came
I called out to it
I called out to it
I called all of its names
But still it never came

I'm in the Ocean

I took a sliver
From the side of my heart
And set it to sinking where the rivers do part
Outside my window
It’s dark as my heart
I’ve got the candle
But you’ve got the spark
Tell me Child
How can it be
I'm in the ocean
And you’re in the sea
Something's wrong but everyone can see
All of the children have fallen asleep
You told me your tale
Then you ran away
I had no time to speak.
I’ve been trying to search my memory
For those things
You accuse me of.
Tell me Child
How can it be
I'm in the ocean
And you’re in the sea
Something's wrong and everyone can see
All of the children have fallen asleep
I travelled the seas
I travelled the land
I thought I heard words from the palm of your hand
When you left
You broke all my hearts
I couldn’t sleep
I was scared of the dark
Tell me Child
How can it be
I'm in the ocean
And you’re in the sea
Outside my window
It’s black as my heart
I’ve got the candle
But you’ve got the spark
