False prophecies.

I hoped for sun to do the undone
But it's rays only chose to blind me
I prayed for rain but it never came
So I prayed for hail and lightning

Black and yellow.

In spite of what you may have heard
I'm not dead
Yes in spite of the crushed lungs, chipped teeth and holes in my head
Pause
Reflect
Remember when progression left
A bleeding heart tied to the back of a crow rains blood of a new
Irrational passion passing through
from the end of this tounge to the tips
of my fingers that fly like this
Pause and reflect, remember all that I truly miss
But know when to move on
Move on like this
From a child on the swing crying from a bee-sting
The bastard flew in my ear
I just heard a buzz and smacked my head like that
My brain rang as salt water adorned my face
and that's just one memory that I haven't erased
But the days of sorrow in that place
Can't be an excuse of the trials I now face
So move on

Still got oil in your blood and an engine in your brain
gears for guts and a heart that sustains
Somehow after all these years
So move on
Come on and move on
the dead deer in the lake are gone
so move on
come on and move on

sad crying clown in an iron lung

Hell hath no fury
Like a mind in a hurry
Repeating sermons in tongues
Wearing through the holes in our lungs
Our hearts need more resting

So let it be known
Our thoughts won't be shown
Before ends of friends show their faces
Carcinogens begin again leaving familiar places
If we hand fingers, we'd count our blessings

Show up some time
You and I will chew the rind
Of hospitalized hoaxes we have to offer
As slow as the grind we pursue with such honor
Filled with the bliss we've been investing

It's going to be a long summer.

So it whispered under a listener's breath:

If you kill the Sunshine
You'll always live in night
As cancer grows in blossoming fruit
To dilute the truth as she dies with youth
Leave the leaves to the trees
And the roots to the dirt
Both the fools and the thieves
Know hatchets in stumps hurt
Yet dumb flirts fling in reverse
And blistered cheeks seek payment for pursuits
If a crimson moon grins kindly
Can the tide reflect chartreuse?
Or is there any use in trying to decipher
Troops of letters that have nothing better
Than to be some sort of therapy
During the change of weather
