The Science of Breaking Down

I can’t focus on other things at all
Headaches to the worst degree
I go and lean against the wall
All the normal things that were done to me
It all builds up and before long
I slide to the floor, by the doorway
They ask me, concerned, “what is wrong?”
I look up and lie and say “I‘m okay”

Night Light

It’s so cold at night as I lay on the stone
In the night of September, I’m not alone
But with you around me I know you’re my own
Now I’ll never be cold or fear the unknown
It has grown dark but the stars still glow bright
The sun has gone down but I’ve still got the light
The streaks of red flame, I feel it ignite
Old glory feels new when I remember that night

Give Me The Knife

Making noise in the kitchen was a man with a knife
I stumbled downstairs in preparation for strife
If I had any sense I would’ve run for my life
Then I saw that that action was being done by my wife
She was running away, hoping I’d fought and died
She thought I would fight him as she ran off and cried
But I talked him down and I lead him outside
Then I picked up the knife and went after my bride
I found her outside, backed up to a tree,
Cornered by the man.  I said, “Leave her to me!”
Finally alone, and finally free
She then begged for her life, I said no to her plea

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Just Dance

When you come and see me standing over there
There’s no need to ask me what I’m all about
We don’t need to talk for you to find out
So come up here and get up off your chair
I’ll know all I need to know about you
By the way you touch me and dance
Don’t think, just move, give it a chance
Silent connection, it can only be true

Rain Dance

I sit and I worry about the meeting ahead
Trying to sit and act like you are my friend
But all I think about are those things you once said
Ten years ago when we faced our end
I smile and I act like I want to be here
You smile back and flirt just a bit
I hesitate, for it’s you that I fear
But I play along with my charm and my wit
We start to feel close as we talk and walk far
I find myself shocked by this feeling I gain
It starts to downpour as we run to the car
But when we get there we just kiss in the rain
My greatest fear was another heartbreak
But it seems worthwhile for the future we’d make

His Wife Stole My Man

So my story is age old
One thousand times has it been told
So here is how it did unfold
How his wife stole my man
For two years now you’ve been my friend
I cannot count the hours we’d spend
Then you met her and it was the end
All other fun, she had made a ban
I try to call because it’s been so long
She wants to come, though she won’t belong
You don’t show, I can guess what went wrong
Good job shunning me, if that was you plan
I cannot wait anymore for you
It’s obvious that our friendship’s through
Sitting alone is now what I’ll do
Because it’s all I can

Eat Me

Because I love you
And if you love me too
When life is withdrawn
Consume me when I’m gone
