Dear Julia
I just wanted to say hello
It seems that we've grown apart
as we learned to grow
The distance between our houses
has always stayed the same
but the distance between the two of us
has nothing more to gain
Dear Julia
I remember we never strayed apart
I told you all my dreams
Which you supported from the start
We were the best of friends
Your house was like my home
and my family was your family
my backyard for you to roam
Dear Julia
Sometimes I hear a song
that reminds me of those times
and how far they're gone
As I ride past your house
I know that our friendship's done
but sometimes I look back
and wonder where it went wrong

stormy eye

stormy eye,
i loved you dark into the summer

your pretty cheek
molded in my fingers
i felt nothing
the sheets whispered softly

smooth porcelain
in the pale morning glow
i loved you and
i felt nothing at all.

stormy eye,
i loved you dark into the summer
breathe separately,
the air is running out.

She keeps her chin up
Her shins cuffed
to the right stuff
Watching their legs twist
With the darkness
so foolish

She knows to be classy
with her lips sassy
and her heart brassy
Watching them laugh free
But she disagrees
Always has a plea

They make her shatter
constant batter
waste matter
But somehow she's ashamed
The one to blame
Can't be tamed

There's always something twisted
Watch me stand by his side
Smile plastered on my face
From behind I've learned to hide

All is perfect, all is kind
Love is anything but blind

But it means nothing to me now
Not anymore, not in this life
Smiles have lost their touch
But not enough to clutch the knife

Words escaping from their lips
No more trusting anyone
Even when there's certainty
Drop it, leave it
It's there to deceive you
No one can please you

various things




mope.

everything is falling apart,
my world is tearing open my
fingers reaching for empty air
where is my hand to hold why
does everyone watch
blind and laughing
and let it happen.
