Bonds

Curl up in wonderland with metallic machine guns

Walls painted white, just the way you like them

So we come in for the landing, to see what you see

Tornado spread thin.

So the violin plays from famed lips

Black butterfly window panes

 It’s your house ,

Your taxi.

A world of heaven - your world of nightmares,

I sent you a thousand messages -but they only touch your shores

We can only get so far…

So I’m sailing- heaven can’t live in hell

Funny thing, she says…

Never was a fire.

Some have a mirage broken and bound to their eyes.

So please darlin’

If you make it

The beach is littered by candy heart verse

But we can’t save you

The seas are calm now

Behind me lies the storm

When The Honey Is Gone

There’s a guateen in my pocket

Holding up the storm

There’s gumption in my throat

Makes me say uh mmm….

I tremble in his presence footsteps loud and clear

Tell me Mr. Sandman,
 never thought I would have the strength to leave you…

With a bullet in my brain

Salvation in my brow

Freedom from this prison

You laugh-

I bow.

Puffy lipped girl, lesson learned time and again

New York tells me I’m special

But I needed to believe ...

But I read it from newsstands.

As I wipe those tears with smudged hands

So I turn to my boy ,
 With another broken promise and a pen.

To tell him the devil won again.

I hand him a heart in a locket

Please tell him it’s not his fault

Please tell him I am sorry

So everything runs thin

The piano stops playing

What do you tell the boy who loses dreams….

Because of the monster under the bed.
