Love ridden, I’ve looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I’ve wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over
So I can’t tonight, baby
No, not ‘baby’ anymore - if I need you
I’ll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave
My hand won’t hold you down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I’m giving up on you
No, not ‘baby’ anymore - if I need you
I’ll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave
No, not ‘baby’ anymore - if I need you
I’ll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave

How fucked up is this

Tonight I was walking back to my apartment when I came across an animal cookie on the cold hard cement.

I had to catch my breath because I felt like I was witnessing a child's tragically lost innocence.

Why I didn't just think "Hey some poor kid dropped their cookie" is beyond me. Once again I will never be able to fully comprehend the mind that is mine.

DREAMLAND

it's like i'm being carried by the ocean
when i start dreaming of you
and all the currents the moon creates
keep pushing the dream from view

and while i drown in the green
the only thing that remains unseen
is when the time will be that we
will swim together inside your sea

i'm hanging on to the edge of you
with my fingertips digging into the earth
the swirling rapids threaten me
while they pound against the surf

the waves come crashing and wash away
the footprints of those who traveled that way
and here i tread in the ocean i dream
too in lust to realize that you are only a stream.
