You've been like the foam that drifts within the waves and gathers on the shore at night. You sink into my pores and hide within my veins, and swim within the oceans of my mind. What are you doing here? You're not staying tonight. You can drown the earth and hide the sun every night; you can whisper till we both turn blue. You can try your best to stir regret within your riptide, but I'm not sinking to the bottom with you.
Deep dive the oceans of my mind, I feel you. And I know you feel me too.
In time, I'll let you cross my mind.
Tomorrow isn't here tonight.
I once knew a man. He glared through hazel.
When he spoke of love, all I heard was a gavel. Climbing without love, a ladder with no rung, always leads nowhere. I watched the worms till the earth, robbing roots from the dirt; withered leaves stain the trees. Where was your fruit when I was hungry?
Sugar, sugar. Baby, baby. You're the only one that I want. I'm tossing turning, heart is yearning while I daydream, smacking my gum. Laffy taffy gimme sappy whispers in my ear in the dark. I've been flirtin', certain that it's working, bat my lashes a little more.
Don't you want to taste my lipstick? Don't you want to steal my kisses? Don't you want to know my ring size? Don't you want my zodiac sign? Don't you really, really want me? I know you really, really want me.
Well you're the headlights, I'm the deer. I guess I live outside your sphere. Oh, yeah I got a lot of questions, but I don't think I'm obsessive. I guess I'm just a little weird. I guess I'm just a little odd, but aren't we all a little strange? Don't want to fit inside the limits of such a pretend image, I'd rather be "deranged." Yes, I'd rather be. Oh, I'd rather be. Let's all opt to be,
Strange.
Why did you complicate it? Why did your tongue drip every thought? How'd I get so mispersuaded? How did I get here? What am I looking for?
Well some of us who wander are lost, and I might have had that pilgrim soul. Ventured too far out on my own, strayed from that familiar road. Some of us who wander are lost.
What exactly were you expecting? Did you think that love was your lab rat? There I go again dissecting. I've been believing, lonesome quenches the bleeding.
How long has it been empty in here? The walls held onto nothing for years. I've been a fool, I think I've been daft. I once played by the rules, but it made me go mad. I think that I belong in an empty place, an empty house,
alone.
I'm too sweet for a cigarette, my mind's at ease when my lips are red. Tongue in cheek, don't let them see what's really going on.
Within my mind, behind the door, beneath the real linoleum floor. I could tell you but, I'll never tell you because you're the reason for it all.
Bare feet run without a care playing truth or dare, my fingers running through your hair. Little lips whisper quietly while the others sleep, my secrets you could never keep. So I'd hold onto the rail, because safe hearts never sail. You'd pull and say to me, "Keep on sailing."
I'll I want to do is run wild and free. Whispers in the dark, living carelessly. Two young hearts dancing to their beat singing, "Keep on sailing."
Run, run, run till we're out of breath. Run so far until there's nothing left to hurt our hearts and forget the rest.
Drip-drop I'd begun to find from my mother's eyes, "No really, I'm okay." You'd say. White smoke I'd begun to see from my father's teeth. I could sing you to sleep if you'd let me.
