anatomine

your elastic limbs
defy the anatomy books.
you've been bending
notes all along.
haven't you,
tremolo thighs star?
your elastic limbs
make all of this possible.

miss shell, mah belle

you're in your bed
i'm on your balcony
you're in your head
i'm on your radar
you're in your bed
i'm on your to-do-list
you're in your bed
i'm on your balcony
you're in your bed

i'm immortalizing you
you're in your bed
i'm adoring you
you're in your bed
i'll write the rest on top of you

sentiments of escape (song)

these words don't forge you and me
i'm tired, expired; i've deleted sleep
windows bleed with rain and i watch them streak
warm hands won't thaw the spring inside of me

and all those lonely roads - well i've tried every mile
and all these endless nights - it just get a little tired

and who's to blame
for these sentiments of escape?
no i know i can't retrace
the steps i didn't take
and how can i
keep tumbling at this pace?
no i know i can't escape
this new houdini fate

i am cocaine and bottles filled to the brim
poison contained but watch us wash over him
it's right, don't fuss; just let us do what we must
young man, fly high across the universe

and all those lonely roads - well i've tried every mile
and all these endless nights - it just get a little tired

and who's to blame
for these sentiments of escape?
no i know i can't retrace
the steps i didn't take
and how can i
keep tumbling at this pace?
no i know i can't escape
this new houdini fate

sorry, who's calling please?

hearing your voice
over the telephone
after such a long time
made me feel like
a million cannons
just filled the sky
with the brightest flowers

life disclaimer

this is a rain or shine event
you're supposed to smile either way
the world can always do with more reverb
you're meant to take what you can get
this is a rain or shine event

kissed by the sun

on a cold day in march
i step outside the office
to discover the sun's warmth
just high enough in the sky
to peek over the condos
it showers a piece of sidewalk
with its brilliant radiance
i lean against the brick wall
tilt my head back
and close my eyes
the warmth washes over me
penetrating my eyelids
all i can see is orange
this is as close as i'll come
to feeling loved today
thankful to be
kissed by the sun
