Sept 28th will go down in history as the day America lost it's soul.
===================================
These photographs that hang on my wall meant everything
Looking back they all seem like a fading dream
But waking now I know that it's just a fallacy
I rub my eyes and face reality
How could I just sit and ignore all the signs
Was it easier to say it was fine?
Now the words are out in the open air
I try to make it right but you don't care
Content to be blind, not to see
Happy to follow, not to lead
But now that I've regained my sight
I won't be losing sleep tonight
Put up a wall I can't tear down
There's no reason, you don't have to shut me out
Suddenly it seems that you're too good for me
Remember when we were like family?
Now you've ruined everything
With every passing day the space between us only grew
Whatever happened to the person I once knew?
And there were times I called you almost every single day
I know you'd see my name and put your phone away
Funny how expendable some things can be
Like our friendship and your negativity
You look down your nose at me with such disdain
You're so much better, "friend," how is the cocaine?
You're the last that I thought could do this
If you needed blood I would have slit my wrist
Now you'd cut me open just for spite
So I won't be losing sleep tonight
It seems that I have been betrayed again
By enemies disguised as friends
Feels like a gut shot that stripped away my breath
And now there's nothing left
And now there's nothing left
===================================
And did those feet in ancient times
trod on America's pastures of green?
And did that anthropocentric god wane
with their thoughts and beliefs all unseen?
I don't think so,
he's up there with the others lying low,
vying with those who you've traded
your life to bless your soul,
and have they told you how to think,
cleansed your mind of sepsis and autonomy?
or have you escaped from scrutiny,
and regaled yourself with depravity?
now we all see, "religion is just synthetic
frippery, unnecessary in our expanding
global culture of efficiency"
and don't you fear this impasse
we have built to our future?
ever so near,
and oh so austere
===================================
I heard you threw your phone away
A brave attempt at dodging sympathy
And maybe you're right
Who needs checking up on anyway?
But I remember when I felt my worst
Its friends like you I called on first
The shadows of what seemed so sure
Haunt you as you tread alone
The empty house you bought with her
But even when you're torn apart
Worlds away I feel your pain
And carry you inside my heart
I will search my acquaintance
For a close-lipped friend
With strength and understanding
When I think Ive reached my end
I want to hear your voice again
And it would be so sad
If I learned you never even tried to call me up
But its not so bad
When you remember you've got friends to pick you up...
===================================
there's nothing simple when it comes to you and i
always something in this everchanging life
and it probably always will
now that time is getting harder to come by
the same arguments are always on our mind
we've killed this slowly fading light
now the lines are drawn
is this feeling gone?
the best parts of this have come and gone
and now that is all this is
with the reasons clear
we'll spend another year
without direction, full of fear
but now things will be different...
===================================
Slowly the pen touches paper in the guidance of the words that you write.
Memories roll in; of the things you once did
and who you had shared them with. Is somebody thinking of you?
Did I bother telling you this, with the words that cross teeth and jump lips?
A poor choice of words, in wanting to tell you anything.
But words don't come with ease. They're forever my hurt.
Would it really matter, if you were to count the days left with your hands?
Your focus secure and the loves you left well
smiles staged in photographs here until...
You, you left the light on.
There's a chance I might have tripped, girl
You were there to hold on.
Ignoring the words of your obnoxious little brother
kill or be killed spilled the words from your mother.
I'll lay awake for a while.
I'll leave the light on a while.
But you couldn't last a lifetime. Caught between here and the days of it
carving her name across your arm with every wish. It's hit or miss... her.
I told you so. I measured distance in lines departing the rest of my life.
===================================
So you had your turn and you made it work
now I'm the laughing stock of your joke
as crazy as it may seem I cried for you when you
told me to date all of the things that made you end up in my life
and I'll believe anything I have no luck with girls
I overheard that you were unhappy too
misleading trust into a relationship that makes no sense
over and out Connecticut
but you had your back turned there as you faded away
at the end of my day I found out
you weren't worth what I thought of you
what I thought of you...so forever let it burn
===================================
too many chances and too many chances please don't wait
things will never be the same again, it's been said
and it's been said
this house is haunted
cause you didn't believe like i believed in you
and it's been said
this could have all been avoided
if we only loved the way we should...
===================================
She smiled in a big way
The way a girl like that smiles
When the world is hers And she held your eyes
Out in the breezeway down by the shore
In the lazy summer
And she pulled you in
And she bit your lip
And she made you hers
She looked deep into you as you lay together
Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer
And she combed your hair
And she kissed your teeth
And she made you better than youd been before
And she told you bad things that you wished you could change
In the lazy summer
And she told you laughing down to her core
So she would not cry
And she lay in your lap as she said
Nobody here can live forever
Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer
She said No one is alone the way you are alone
And you held her looser than you would’ve if you ever couldve known
Some things tie your life together
With slender threads of things to treasure
Days like that should last and last and last
But youve already lost
But youve already lost
But youve already lost
When you only had barely enough to hang on
When you only have barely enough of her to hang on...
===================================
And I drive this ocean road
And remember
The small of your back,
nape of your neck
I remember everything
as I drive, I'm waving this town goodbye
And I will leave under the cover
Of summer’s kiss upon the sky
Like the stone face of your lover
Just before she says goodbye
I was certain that the season
Could be held between my arms
But just as summer’s hold is fleeting
I was here but now I’m gone...
===================================
a simple lifetime
i spend all my time planning for something
instead of doing and the faces pass me by
as if they're saying "a year hasn't done that much for you"
tell me when i can stop impressing you.
pretty girl
you're pretty entertaining
but you've got nothing on california
in this big gray sky, burning out my eyes,
take your medicine, but you know it might not work,
don't take too much, you know, you just might make it worse,
cuz i know, i was half way home before i realized
the joke was on me all along
and its becoming laughable
well i don't have to play your song,
hey man you pay too much if you paid at all,
how many miles have we gone?
it can't be all that hard if you can sum it up in a postcard
"sincerely yours"
look for comfort in the stars and the sound of your guitar
and wonder what its done to you,
and visualize what you'll never do,
never do,
well i was half way home before i realized
the joke was on me all along
and its becoming laughable,
well i don't have to play your song,
hey man, you pay too much if you paid at all,
i can't decide if i hate it all
yet
===================================
As a tear formed in the pit of her eye. The music poured through the speakers
and we were losing ourselves in the cadence. She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes
for a bit longer than a standard blink. Then she was crying. Then she was shouting.
Then I was shouting, now pouring confessions, having no answers, or solutions, we barely even knew the questions.
Don’t put me under ground, I was meant for a life somewhere else.
Please love give me the wheel, please forgo for the hearts
you'll steal tonight. you'll steal tonight...
As we were, so perfect, so happy.
They'll remember, only our smiles 'cause that's all they've seen.
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.
As we were, so perfect, so happy.
Our cracking voices became part of the music.
The car pressed on faster through the night. As our voices lowered,
the cadence again overtook the air.
Up ahead there was a curve approaching.
She made no indications of slowing...
===================================
They called my number.
I didn't feel like standing. I looked around and faked a half pleasant smile.
Is it fair to say I've lost myself or maybe just my mind because I've forgotten all the questions for the answers that I used to want to find.
fell asleep hungry and woke up starving feeling old before my time
where has all the time gone?
and when will I get you back?
and when I do will it only be to lose you again?
I wish I had something good to say.
I'm not like this all the time.
tomorrow is another day, for me another kind of smile.
at least I'm smiling, don't tear it off me because I might need it to fool someone.
I feel like I've got some kind of disease, maybe not but something is wrong with me, get me out of here, now.
I guess I feel alright, I guess I feel OK.
Why have a relationship if we can't relate?
It comes and goes and it comes undone--show me the door, I'm out of here
I feel old before my time..
===================================
Is there a God tonight
Up in the sky
Or is it empty just like me?
A place where we can hide
Out from the night
Where you are all I see
So blow a kiss goodbye then close your eyes
Tell me what you see...
===================================
Tear down the building, bludgeon the architect
Biased opinion from outdated intellect
And we keep sailing, with a fear of failing
Listen while they say your name
We hang our heads and take the blame
With daggered mouths and stay controlled
These chemicals will take your soul
Sail on...
===================================
Summer, she's gone but I remain
Summer, she gazed upon what I could know and
Remembered it all fall downward
===================================
i love alex!!
