we're all little candles
melting around
leaving little wax puddles
wherever we go
sharing each other's burdens
of filling the night
some burning brighter, faster
more blue
gone in a flash
some like a quiet light
diffusing through
space by space, finally wearing thin
we're all just little candles
waiting to be snuffed out

the grenades are never blowing up but you can sure continue to put effort into throwing them my way
really isnt that all that matters?
the expenditure of energy

intention is subjective

can you hear me or can you hear yourself
what's the difference
stringing letters together
by and by and by
do you know now?
every time i breathe in
i can feel you over there
watching, waiting
indifference is a virtue
a prized possession
starts out slowly shaking
soon mastered, your master
you are Master
your body is a temple
within which you reside
and i worship you

chugging a toxic concoction
liquid glass
underscore aftermath underscore bad omen
honestly personally to me
an omen is simply an omen
no connotations
you gotta do what the omen tells you to
then you go and do the next thing
no biggie
dilate my pupils
bless me
tick tick tick
tock tock
whoooooooooooooooooooom
and some fibonacci sequence song laced with electric guitar
what good does this do
you only ever speak in riddles


havent you ever had some of that good
wonton soup
i thought so

here take this pill
it can make the darkness go away
the stars burn again
the dust turn into flowers
the flowers into dragons
and the dragons into a swimming pool
the mirrors not in me unless you put it there
you want a reflection
you get a crystal ball
inside a magical secret
i move like a *** goddess through your mind
keep your hands off me
and stand straight because i dont like slouchers
you want to win the award
you get what you pay for
you get what you came for
then you go home
and please do go home
a nicotine dream
always coming back for more
step on over to the sidelines
AND WATCH ME WHIP

what has it all come to

there you all stay
tucked in your beds like the little ants youve grown up to be
prancing around in your dreams
to and fro
on the way to meeting your destinies
they're all the same mind you
here now its time to attend the masquerade ball
paint your face on
ask them how their mothers are getting along
yeah sure im prone to flights of fancy from time to time
but you can ask me anything youd like
not saying ill answer
the offers there waiting on the table
take advantage or dont
am not here to pass judgement
only here to be here
and to go
same as you
same as anybody
going
going
gone
thats what they all do
go and go and go
til they cant anymore
whos doing the staying
the scoundrel
you demon child you
stop waiting around
get up and GO
there's places to be and youre waiting at home alone
for the lights to go out
the paper trail to disappear
thats all fine and dandy when you dont have a train to catch
you miss your chance and youre out
badda boom badda bang
all thats left is the old messenger bag
filled with an empty bottle of liquor
that girl really knows how to sing
she can belt it out like nobodys business
really

man oh man
i am giddy like a child when i read you baby
lets go back to your room and bang until the sun burns out
