In this one,
I'm the villain
Twisted and selfish
Forever unforgiven
Set fire to the letters you trusted
me to send, instead
coming home wasted.
The echo of voices
that bounced off the walls
of our rooms had gutted
your choices.
Left you sleepless without
an ounce of solace.
The evidence abounds.
Now there's darkness,
and screaming.
Broken bottle on the floor
a million sharp pieces
that I clean up,
while you check for clues,
distorted truths,
and illegal maneuvers.
Living in the shackles
we clapped to our wrists,
slit and drained
the life ebbing away,
you're staring at me,
stalking your prey,
baring your teeth
to kill me in my sleep.
I'm awake.
See all...
In this one
I'm the hero.
Reliable, strong,
Keeping up with the work
on this home, and my job,
I listen to your words,
remember what to say
when you're weak
so you don't get lost.
Stay focused,
I want to know the you that saw
every mountain,
every storm,
every joyful dance
and mournful song,
every impulse that took you
on a journey,
across oceans,
to come back with the magnets
that adorn the door
'cause it's something
that reflects what matters
making space for you to dream,
a place to be.
I'm the builder.
I'll make my heart wide,
keep strength in my body
so I can hold up our future.
No matter what we see
and you'll only go first
so you never know a day without me.
See all...

Keep No Secrets

Put my ear to the wall,
Listen for your breathing go soft as you fall
asleep, again, day three
of the nightmares,
as the aperture closes off all
but the one who cares.
My routine is the same,
just to keep the house safe
'cause it comes in
crashing like a plane,
a fireball in the sky,
now it's flying down the street
as I'm writing out your name
it's no secret
we keep no secret.
Pull my coat off the chair,
the season's gotten cold
and there's snow in the air
that's blown off the rooftops,
gunshots, distant sound
of a bass drop,
headphones - gotta turn them up a lot.
It's no trouble.
You don't need to see the struggle
just to maintain the space,
just to clean all the plates
and the bowls and the cups,
wonder if I'm doing enough
to own up,
high light fire.
High light fire.
No time
slipping all away,
There's no scene,
too hard to make the means,
all resolve gets wiped out.
Banking that depression's
not the mission
that defines all our time
that's why I search
all these pages for a clue,
to produce an answer
when the effort leaves like residue,
I dream
of our house with your garden
and basement beats
from my vinyl collection
We sing.
We sing.
We sing
and keep no secrets
we high
light fire and dream.
