I awoke in a sinking Manhattan. I played in drunken cathedrals. There were businessmen in armchairs. With namebrands and short hair. Detonating with evil. So I scratched out the eyes of all my past lives. And gathered my crooked flowers. The gardener grins as the toothache begins. And the angels sing free from the towers. [...]
there’s a tall, a mulatto, boy I know and he comes to every party — he stands alone viewing them the rest, from the corner of his glance it gets so clear, he’s not judging anyone the way his arms float around his cage, he’s caged canary sings, silently rings, his voice to rage the [...]
I know how the good wind blows and it gives me my time Don’t let them drag your hatred off the line I know how the anger goes so I bury mine You know they had me working overtime I want no part of your blackheart causes empty speeches broken promise I know how the [...]

Every season has a lesson to be learned. When all the love is piled, pushed aside, and is burned. No more driving with the top pulled down or laying on the beach.

You and I have tried to pretend. We both exist inside of a dream. In my life, from beginning to end, no stranger thing has happened to me. I went from highland, straight thru the desert. I had to suffer my own mistakes. I went from daylight, straight thru the nighttime. I barely lived thru [...]

I imagine long walks down the road Things began to bloom, the sky explodes The Damage is undone Then I know this has got to be a dream Machines and Luxuries dont last I took my sleep for granted in the past And I woke up half-dead in the hourglass Why does that sound funny? [...]
