These Loops

Posted on 05.15.24 under Uncategorized

Who put you on that pedestal
painted it gold
bought what you sold
When you look me in the eye
Is it true love
That you’re thinking of

Why
My mind plays these loops
I’m holding on to you, but you’re slipping away
But there’s no substitute
Why
Can’t find the reason why
You tricked me, you tricked me

Why
My mind plays these loops
I’m holding on to you, but you’re slipping away
But there’s no substitute
Why
Can’t find the reason why
Am I dreaming

Who put that thought in your head
Bewitched you fell
Under that spell
Helpless you did what was said
Bought what was sold
Posed as a centerfold

Why
My mind plays these loops
I’m holding on to you, but you’re slipping away
But there’s no substitute
Why
Can’t find the reason why
You tricked me

How I feel

Posted on 05.05.24 under Uncategorized

Listen

Closer

Yeah

She walks across
the rainbow bridge between
Time lost forever and infinity
He can’t forget
This chronic feverish dream
Her face has haunted him through virginity

How I feel
It’s hard to conceal
This dream’s so surreal

To her he seems to
be so naive
Look past your mirror
To his heart you’ve never seen
To him she seems so
far out of reach
Her wounded child defends her
Like a knight to her queen

How I feel
It’s hard to conceal
This dream’s so surreal

A short Sakura season

Posted on 04.13.24 under Uncategorized

This year the cherry blossoms came two weeks later than last year and cold rain and winds made it a short season as well.

Riptide

Riptide of my soul

I’m tired of waking
with fragments of dreams
My soul’s been mutating
Transhuman machines

Riptide

Riptide it’s an undertow
Lost souls swept right off the shore
Riptide drags you below
Lost souls gone for ever more

We live by delusions
We form in our sleep
Then jump to conclusions
And think that we’re deep

Riptide

Tell me it’s not a game
Tell me it’s not a game

Riptide it’s an undertow
Lost souls swept right off the shore
Riptide drags you below
Lost souls gone for ever more
