My Kin 02:27
All my kin are spinning tops – Bearing wounds and aftershock I don’t know what I’m doing here All my blood came from a pool Thick with suspect attributes Oh, I’m not alone – though it may appear so. Pry, search, you, bloodhounds Writhe around in the mud Of what we are. From my brood I do discern Nervous charm begetting mirth Dancing atop a distressed façade Look at how our roles played out Youth usurped and still for naught Oh I’m not alone though it may appear so.
2.
The Power 03:36
So you wonder how it got to this You can’t be alone Oh, where was your body last night? The love of your life will leave you Leads you out into the light Then kills you Hope was just a whisper that night A soft blow not a strike Oh I’ll be a good, good wife And one day all this will haunt you Till there’s nowhere left To run to Oh, this girl who is enamoured with Who faught for her harder Wavering until they both Had gone The loves in your life are strangers And you’re bodies the only remainder Your past, your lack, your cruelty The power you’ll never have on me
3.
Wakin’ up crooked Drag a deep breath Tired of waitin’ Walkin’ on eggshells Sitting on the ringside Like a circus clown Watchin’ the lions Dancing on their hind legs Oh, I can’t get out of here Now why’s it have to be so hard Friends say make your mind up soon Time is runnin’ out on you Then the cold & alcohol Prompt my leaving post last call Every definition reeks of over thinking But my minds not made up yet And I’m still waiting I rise too quickly Like I break into a run From my bedside to the next morning No, times not precious (not as much as you) And so I keep running Looking for the exit
4.
Here’s where we stay Floating on paper And as we lay Prone, drifting further Once more Make sure your eyes are open Cause here it comes Why lie so still? Are you scared to breathe? I haven’t moved yet And I ain’t gonna harm ya Please lets just abscond Now I lie in wait Scared to look Looming above Fierce and alarming
5.
Always 03:49
Always, I can feel you Getting closer To the end Always, I can feel you Getting close Always, I can feel you And my mind goes in a circle Always, I can feel you And I’m mad, and I’m lookin’ Hush now, little darling Don’t betray what You have heard Soon it will be morning And you wont mind Any words--- Cruel or formulaic Fitting kindness On a matchstick Always, I can feel you And I’m mad And I’m looking I cant stand the sound of How the words fall from your lips Harsh and always changing With the hard crack Of a whip Thoughts don’t make you thoughtful And my love won’t make your heart full Always, I can feel you And I’m mad And I’m looking
