the scarlet letter's getting redder the fingers are a-waggin' the allegory in this story's got me feeling bilbo baggins fighting feably to defeat fucking firebreathing dragons seeking proof in fiction cause the truth has turned to fractions it's what the people need one deceptive dimension stab it til it bleeds or no one will pay attention give 'em what they want, a filthy little spectacle a crucible is suitable, only when the noose is full of someone else's neck the mockingbird won't say a word but you keep trying to kill it the conviction in your diction grabs my will and tries to steal it but i'll push my pen into your brain, my tongue behind it strong the ink won't sink in just a blink it takes time to write a wrong may let go of june there was no other way for her to bloom it was no easy thing; it took all of spring she didn't leave her behind she just gave her some room may let go of june june turned to july she said does saying hello mean saying goodbye? cause retrospect is gonna break my neck but the future is bright and I know why june turned to july may, june and july felt a gust of wind fall flew by; offered a hand to lend you know if time stood still, nothing would heal seasons would stall; wounds wouldn't mend may will come around again
it’s raining here in Oregon, springtime blossoms soak it in
just like me, my paper, petals, my pen, of course, the stem and the bridges i keep crossing they support and transfer weight over sleepy riverbeds of time their paths comprise my fate oregon is in my body now i’ll never be the same her skies moisturize my skin her rains cleans my brain her trees have brought me to my knees in gratitude and prayer oregon is in my body now wherever i am she’ll always be there easygoing attitudes in corner pubs and cafes i relax and tap my toes to the music that she plays her people so considerate, her careful care surrounds me leaves me wanting to improve, leaves me better than she found me there’s a shroud of silence that sends us off to sleep there’s a cloud so dense filled with words we dare not speak tongues are tied, i can’t explain if mine is biting yours guess we refrain from the rain cause when it pains it pours there’s a shred of sunlight that wakes us in the morn there’s a miracle of life like a baby being born voices blend i can’t explain which notes are yours or mine guess the lights is why we fight cause when we sing it shines there’s a shrug of shoulders that moves us up the road there’s a hug of wases and weres and a kiss from the unkown fingers crossed, i can’t explain if it’s a wish or command guess it’s best to give it rest cause when you trust it lands my love, once a chameleon green
changed shapes, fought hard not to be seen shrank into a shallow shamrock dream seeking out a four leaf clover my love, once a jazzy blue learned songs and scales it never knew it sought the sky but stuck like glue to an uncertain ocean lover i've taken to the color wheel to repaint the walls of how i feel my canvas is a heart that needs to heal but aren't all works in progress works of art still my love, now a honey gold smacks of sweetness somehow subtly bold rises sunny to thaw out the cold setting with a gentle hover my love, now a crimson red bleeds deeper than it's ever bled as plump as kissed lips, freshly wed fills to the top and spills right over Various Voicings of Bm A G
we built a freight train, it carried cargo we set the train out to sea if it would float we had a false hope we had so far to go if only trains had buoys we should have built a boat, we should have let it sail instead we built a train and let the train derail we built a strong ship upon a railroad sang sailor songs and dreamed of moving in one lane we had a true love, we called it music the anchor dropped, there was no steam we should have built a train, we had a thousand tries instead we built a boat and let the boat capsize i'll dock my boat out in calmer waters close enough to see land and i'll look for you your locomotive will pass along the harbor just close enough to squeeze my hand as you fly through i'm going to build a boat, i'm going to hoist the mast you're going to build a train, you're going to hear my name a voice from the past we're going to learn and grow, we're going to have some fun go our separate ways and maybe meet some day out by the setting sun done all that i could do darlin' so did you dying dead and done but only just begun time's the only thing that grows old and doesn't die i will grieve this sad reprieve as i say goodbye love's the only thing in me that heaves a heavy sigh love lifts my hand to you and waves hello to the new you and i i'll love you in a lyric you'll sing to me, and i'll hear it our kisses will be harmony we will always be a we was it love at first sight? well it might have been
but like so many things, you don’t know what you have til it’s missing when you went away i hoped and prayed that it was not too late i’ll spend my life right by your side proving we were worth the wait i’ll be your lifelong love and your forever friend whenever life gets rough i’ve got a hand to lend i’ll be your tried and true until the very end i’ll be your lifelong love do i take your hand forever and stand right next to you it’s the easiest question i’ve ever been asked – i do every heart beat, i’m yours to keep with every promise that i make i’ll spend my life right by your side proving we were worth the wait beautiful soul where do you go what have you learned that we don't yet know it's terrible and tragic it's beautiful and magic there's joy in the sadness even when it's invisible i see you even though you're invisible beautiful girl you left the world in every shell a shining pearl |
