Who writes history better?
The victims or the tyrants?
The ship-wrecked or the sirens?
Enough of poems that ramble on
My patience quickly ends
Enough of lines full of rhymes
I'm tired of all that's perfect
Enough of sonnets, lyrics and prose
Enough!
Every concept I thought is now ash
And despite the anger you can create
I want you in places I never thought
Only my presence would know
As ironic as it sounds
That which I hate
Love poems and prose
Is our beautiful fate
My patience quickly ends
Enough of lines full of rhymes
I'm tired of all that's perfect
Enough of sonnets, lyrics and prose
Enough!

I'm sick of you seeing me crying
Tired of you thinking I'm lying
Had enough of your endless prying
Can't you tell I'm fucking trying?
Frilly poetry has its place
But I enjoy the iron taste
Of blood dripping down my face
Born words of some disgrace
Recreate that phantom ache
Comatose from feelings you make
So long as nothing is fake
Your raw emotions will awake
In me something unknown
Reading from my distant throne
Your pain cutting to the bone
Sacrifice your soul to me
I feed on the words I see
Craving what sets you free
Your suffering becomes my key
Full of sand and wedding bands
Swim in the grand canyon's misery
Sit and watch the Earth turn red
There's not a green tree in the world
That has not felt loneliness
My favorite house
Is the one falling apart
Tired of you thinking I'm lying
Had enough of your endless prying
Can't you tell I'm fucking trying?

Your lonely words remind me
Of my own angry past
You say I've gotten crazier with time
But I tell you dear ---
That's the only way to face
Everything
Whatever happened to making love
You've asked me once
I can't remember the last time
You held my hand
Of my own angry past
You say I've gotten crazier with time
But I tell you dear ---
That's the only way to face
Everything
Whatever happened to making love
You've asked me once
I can't remember the last time
You held my hand
Hey fence - constantly repaired
You must hate having no say
To contain
Separate
When really you just want
To break down
So horses can run free
And humans can remember
No one owns the Earth
You must hate having no say
To contain
Separate
When really you just want
To break down
So horses can run free
And humans can remember
No one owns the Earth
How's that coffin going?
The one you're building.
In your subconscious shed
For that rainy day
You're predicting
Who is it for?
You or me?
Maybe you'll nail us both in
I wouldn't put it past you
Insecurities don't fall apart
...easily.
Yeah boy - we'll all die
One day we'll realize just how
Much we've lived
And maybe it will be painful
Messy
But don't etch that tombstone
Just yet.
Stop working so hard
We don't even need a box
We've never fit in them anyway
Lets just focus on the before
I guess it's inevitable
But of course, you're so fucking sure
A cloud of doubt follows me
I want to escape it
But you love your doubt
The one you're building.

It's funny, boy.
You told me about your expeditions
to other mountains
Before you finished the one
you were climbing
You told me about that hill -
you shouted upon
While you were at my base
And now you're worried I'll move
But mountains are particular
About their movement
And you rarely see them run
No, boy, you came to me
And I'm not going anywhere
So worry more about the climb
I'm not sure you'll survive

Frustrated
My hearts been vacated
For so long
And now I love you
You think I'm not true
And boy you're wrong.
I can't seem to help ease
Your endless anxiety
I'm not sure what to do
My hearts been vacated
For so long
And now I love you
You think I'm not true
And boy you're wrong.
I can't seem to help ease
Your endless anxiety
I'm not sure what to do
There is a herd of horses
Following me
They run beside
Everyone I knew
Horses who tell me
I'm not alone
Dappled
Long-hair
Following me
Saying
All will be fine

If I died today would you miss me?
Can you recall the last time you kissed me?
I've broken you in dark places
You think our times been wasted
I can't understand your fury
Can't comprehend your worry
Why don't you just trust me
There's no way things must be
Your jealousy controls me
Nothing can console me

It's not so simple as love
Being some glorious answer
Your "love" is draining
Every inch of my soul
The forecast is raining
Smoothing the bowl
That holds my tears
We've collected for years
So that I may face
Death with grace
Submerged in the past
It all goes so fast

they fucking say
"Love"
as if once you find it
you're good to go
that's all you need
once you plant the seed
you watch it grow
they say so!
ha!
what do they know
marketing fraud
we're all God
and what else is true?
i love you!
but it's ugly and red
so while in bed
i remember your ways
until the suns rays
rear their head
and every thing's dead

you don't recognize my tears
barely acknowledge my fears
and now that i'm strong
i wont be here for long
needy love isn't love at all
you ensure i'm unable to stand tall
and it's my fault for not doing more
when you kept my face to the floor
you'd rather i be miserable by your side
you'd rather every night i cried
than have the strength to set me free
that ain't love baby
we're all afraid of living alone
but you're cuts are deeper than the bone
it's not love even for me to allow
you to attach me to a plow
i am who i am and i love that lady
the decision before might have been shady
but real love will be to fly away
maybe you'll realize your mistake one day

If I stand my ground would you ask me to change?
I wonder how far is safe in your shooting range?
I keep back tracking as if
But some miracle
You won't hit me
Stupid girl!
What matters
is that
you're being shot at!

Compromise
aka lots of lies
hidden in the disguise
of "i love yous"
Manipulate
left the station
pint-size ration
and the tracks disappear
Controlling Tightly
treading lightly
not thinking brightly
he's at the wheel
don't know what to do
but you can't put me through
all the anger in you
I don't know if you can change.

Watching mothers crying
Boyfriends lying
You told me all the people
In this world
With bad intentions
Told me how terrible this
World is
How we have to stick together
I shook my head
This world is beautiful
But never could I have realized
You are the person you were
Warning me about
I love you
But you're a monster
And I don't know
If you can change

Stop taking advantage of my love.
Just because I accept you
And you use that to control me
Stop hitting yourself
Threatening to kill yourself
It's going to be alright
You just need to realize
In order to help you
I need to let you fall.
