Lyrical Chaos

 One, two

A-one, two, three, four…

If you’re angry, well, I’m angry too

if you’re tired, lay down your head - rest a while.

Oh, Academia;

like the American Dream, 

made me want things I don't really need.

We all need to get loved and laid.

We all have to learn and that's the hardest way.

Will you listen to my proof or add another page? 

Get it off your chest / Get it off my desk.

Between the lines-

cryptic crossword, beauty of the word

is that you don't have to show it.

Transcendental big wheel can you feel it?

It swings (woo), it jives (woo);

words only say so much.

feel their body through screen in the heat of the night,

forgotten in the thought of them.

Cleopatra, Joan of Arc ; 

face down trippin' so damn hard.

Love them so much I put my hands on myself. 

Knew who I was with every step that I ran to you.

There is no modern romance.

 

A most peculiar man-

Orpheus, his silent world-

lived in a house in a room in himself.

An open book but I can’t read it,

difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion,

a pretty good read, but God,

who’d want to be such an asshole? 

 

Don’t need to read my mind, 

cause I’ll tell it to you straight.

Come here rude boy-

talk to me with that whiskey breath.

Constantly on the cusp of tryin’ to kiss you.

Nobody here, just us together.

Between the sheets, 

got a chance to tell you face to face;

said “I gotta be up in the mornin’

I got shit to do

I know you do too”.

Staying up, dripping down your body like gold;

ready to bleed from shadows on the wall,

the center of it all.

How many licks does it take 

to get caught in the center 

of your sugar, your sour, your salty your sweet?

Get faded rap poet go down. 

Don’t use your language, just your mouth.

 

Slowly steaming up the windows,

keepin' it hot like July forever.

Skin on skin, again and again.

Lunatic to Love. Sweat for me. 

Hand’s up we can go a lil’ longer.

Who needs a beacon when you’re fine with fog?

When the morning comes all misty, we fade.

Woke up in a painting,

'cause we fell in love in new shapes,

meant for another dimension.

Call it art, you pulled out my heart.

Take what you want from me. You deserve it all.

Love you no limit, if you’ve got time let’s spend it.

 

It's always too soon you lose to the moon.

Freaking them out, ain't even ashamed.

Hard up, for some time in your sheets.

Wanna’ lean on your shoulder;

wish I was allowed, but it's causing me shame.

High, low, stop, go, do you even know me at all?

Better to leave it unsaid

Why can't I leave it unsaid?

“Well honey I’ve been so sick so sad,

whenever I’m happy it makes you mad”

Did I make you mean, or were you always that way?

Ain’t tryin’ to rush things but it’s been a while now,

I won’t follow you into the dark.

 

Leave unsaid, unspoken.

Eyes wide shut, unopenen.

All things that are seen and unseen-

gaze and sob from the city roof .

 

Learned to listen through silence,

all the things they surely meant to say…

 “stereo, what good songs do you know?”

lay in bed and motherlove myself.

Come by the fire,

souls changin', changin'.

I'll take the lead and you can follow.

Find me here amidst the chaos.
