Blood & Gasoline

Maybe you were right all along:
I’d be better off dead.
Or maybe you were wrong:
I can make it to the end–
glass shattered across the pavement
Blood and gasoline joined in matrimony
in a temple of open skin.
I’m buried deep, can barely breathe,
paralyzed beneath this wreckage.
The checkered flag at my fingertips
I’ve never felt so close but I’m still so far away
I knew that I’d be better alone,
But I couldn’t say no.
‘Cause I was gullible from the start,
so you took what you could–
no mercy or remorse
Came here to kill, take the steering wheel
Drive me straight into the median
A flash of light retells my life
And all I see is you
The checkered flag at my fingertips
I’ve never felt so close but I’m still so far away

A Void & A Vibrant Sky
03:24

I’ve got a few places left to go;
don’t got the will to put my feet on the floor,
I’m floating in the gray…
Yesterday the trees were green with spring;
today they’re buried under feet of snow.
And the sky burned with the way back home;
today it’s lost in an endless void,
I’m floating in the gray…

Choices

I gave my body to the Big Sky,
but I kept my heart in Gold.
1200 miles of a lonely road
pulling me and won't let go.
And I’m not sure which way is up,
let alone which place is home.
But now I’m wishing I was omnipresent
so that I could have them both.
I hate these choices that I make,
I hate these choices.
These choices I make
could be a big mistake.
Go be a California novelty in a busy part of town.
Find myself a pretty blonde with hazel eyes that I can wrap my life around.
She’ll be the theme of all my love songs 'til my love songs freak her out,
and then she'll make some great material for another string of break up songs.
I hate these choices that I make,
I hate these choices.
These choices I make
could be a big mistake.

Torn Apart

I’ve made so many mistakes,
but I’ll lie and we’ll call them risks.
And I don’t regret anything,
but my memories keep me up late.
I’m torn between two places
There’s not enough of me to go around.

You are everything I wanted and more.
You’re more than I could ask for,
you make my brightest dreams look like nightmares,
lungs incapable of taking air
when you appear
like a vapor in my mind.
You’re tangible for the blink of an eye;
so full of heaven make me think I died.
You make me believe.
You make me believe.
I never knew a person could be so damn vague,
but now I'm sitting here, hearing what you're saying.
I recognize the words you use,
but they don't mean a goddamn thing.
You’re simultaneous transparent and opaque;
you're clear as glass baptized in flat black paint.
A black and white perspective
with a heart floating in gray.
I wish you would tell me what you're thinking
so I
could find a light in the darkness of your reason
and decide
where the line between denial and believing lies.

It Is What It Is

It is what it is:
I'll pick honesty over selfish intentions.
So do with that what you think best,
because I'd rather be alone
than be the lust of your drunken lips.
You say you want a man,
but you keep messing with the boys
who still act like high school kids.
And God would I give you heaven,
but you're satisfied with taking rides
from guys who drive you through hell.
You say we can still be friends,
but I am smart enough to know
that I am just your backup plan.
So I won't wait around forever,
I won't be here your whole life.
I won't wait around forever,
Cause I know I've got to move on with my life.
You say you're looking for the real thing,
but you're tipsy in the bars, trying to find yourself a fling.
Yeah, you'd have me for fun!
But not if I won't waste my time on anything that's short of love.
So down another shot, and chase it down to chase your sorrow
'cause you know I'm everything they're not.
No I won't hold a grudge,
I'll still be here if you need me,
just not the way that you'll want.
'Cause I won't wait around forever,
I won't be here your whole life.
I won't wait around forever,
Cause I know I've got to move on with my life.
I'm just another notch on your belt.
I'm just a tally on the wall next to somebody else.
And I would give you all the love that I have
but you're too busy settling for the temporary.
So I won't wait around forever...
