The Cartoon Robbery of Teal Walls

It was the wind behind my back
The words that it screamed
And the questions that left my lips
That left my heart reamed

How does it feel, shouting against the sky?
Defining loss as the way to get ahead in life and be so far behind

There's nothing here anymore

So we kept running through the places we used to hide, asking people to show their pride
Our hotel rooms contain things worse than bed bugs
(scarier than rotting flesh)

One day we shall see what the world brings those of who wait, while those blowing us kisses keep us away

With the wind in my face, I've been screaming for nobody to hear me
It proves to me that no one has ever cared enough for the things I used to say

Bitter sweet lines about beating hearts and shallow graves,
Menacing corruptions making us fake

Nowhere in the world can I see myself wishing I was but the places I used to hide all them years ago,
As dryers were the white walls I felt the most content being myself slammed up against

These battered questions left me looking for answers I'm afraid of
And yet once again the world stopped me from spinning out of control

Homecoming Events: Dissapearance

You're an enigma, a shadow, a fractured person with no latitude
You sectioned yourself in two pieces, neither one could ever be loved
you leave so much to be desired,
Your cold shoulders won't ever keep me off, they won't ever keep us away

But you say there is nothing left, you have no way to keep on living but you keep mourning your own nonexistance,

So keep burying your hatchet five feet under ground, give yourself enough hope to try to get out but you know the only place to go now is down

The world around you was waiting for you to climb mountains and build houses, but you let it all go and thought it would all build itself,

Without the character to carry on you just lay there and hope tonight goes your way, but your soul is an empty box with broken bones

Golden Guild

Pushing down on pottery,
Kettles singing marching whistles;
Spider broaches fast moving,
Fast approaches;

Your red hair was fake but the green behind the ink was reminiscent of the summer you sewed me together;

Now I lay here with my son, and tell him stories of all the women who will never be his mother -

It's bedtime somewhere in Palesburg,
Where the children hide under staircases and don't believe in a man named God;

As she walked by me, she swore she had no intentions of putting her clothes back on,
And that if I was dying tonight that I wasn't going to be doing it alone

And we walked together; a wall of dying men, telling our sons we can't ever be their fathers,
For we are soulless beings and the vultures they have for mothers will replace them with nicotine and kerosene kisses,

Somewhere in an unfamiliar place called Palesburg,
Bags of gold allured our love ones away

Save the Sky

So this is the beginning of what seems like such a beautiful end
When the world keeps spinning,
We will lay in bed and play pretend,
This is our house, this is our world!
So listen to me while I tell you story of how fast everything changed,
Everything changed;
Did you happen to notice, the man with the motif that exclaimed rest in peace?
So let's keep this up, our one common ceiling is falling and with no remorse our feet will take their course
Make what you will our love will stay only as strong as your heartbeats.
Watch me demise
I'll die right before your eyes

I Know You

Will you wait for me?
Will you stay for me?
Can you breathe for me?
What if I start to forget myself?
What will I know?

You've came into my life,
I swear it was in time
Right when I thought, it was way too late
To ever fall in love, to ever fall in love again
I'd rather die than be without you
I cannot be left alive without you

I know you are the one,
that God sent you to me
You are my everything,
You are the air I breathe
So hear me when I say
Never leave

The oxygen hits my bloodstream
I know you can feel me breathing you in
I know you can feel everything I'm thinking
I'd rather die than see you in pain,
But I'd stay alive just to heal you
I know you might be thinking that I'm naive,
But this is the truth, I need you to believe
I'll never sleep again, I'll never sleep again, I'll never sleep again
If all of your patchwork, comes undone

12.12.12 Murder On San Dixie South: Part Two

You could hear me wherever you go,
But now I remember that you swore you'd never leave,
I'm beyond those days and I accept it,
Now my future has light and shadow,
Corners and creases,
We stare though the telescope -
Sing our hearts out through the telephone
Just to know in this galaxy, we are alone
Come back to Texas, the center of the south, as well as you'd get acquainted,
To be satisfied but your pain always stops you

Has it really been this long since I had this much time on my own?
Now plans are here on the worlds backbone
And you'd never know
We still sneak out of theaters and break into cop cars,
With the hopes of hearing you out,
Of reach and time,
On San Dixie South
We just died together.

Homecoming Events: Segmentation

You should have seen her when I opened my eyes
Face first on the floor looking for daddy and nothing more,
So I lifted her up and held her while I realized I had the world in her hands
Oh how I realized I had the world in my arms

So here we sit in boxes with closed eyes and dead hearts
The skylines won't be the same again as we approach Godspeed from all of those above and below
How do we heal in the futures sake when presently the past is too late?

Our face masks can't hide us from becoming a sensible mourner,
So bring all confusion in line to the alters house,
And alter everything we've known -

Our graffiti has no mark anymore as the fresh paint has been layered against our vision
Oh how frequently we feel cheated
