Homecoming-
Out dancing with your polished faces
Smile for me
Starry-eyed and happy for one night
And I'm lying all alone
Crying silent innuendoes
It's never enough.

Origami-
The light is strangling my eyes
I reach for understanding
I am a cynic in disrepair
Wisdom is nothing but a search for passion.

Auditorium-
Eat yourself up
Breathe it all out
Line your eyes with peace of mind
And inhale intimacy
Red hands and rosy cheeks
Scream his name and claim him
Touch him
And hope he stays a while longer
Till he's in her bed.

Drive-
We slept
And we felt ourselves cold
And we fell too thin
And we broke our bones.

Prozac-
Chew on your pills
And bite hard on your illness
Lie naked
Head upon floor
Bare and exposed
Skinny and pale
Unloved and unwell
Hearts in your eyes
Pain in disguise
Dress it up, drink it down.

Images-
I'm dying inside
A spark of poison in my blood
The scraping of the blade upon my bone
I'm writhing on the pavement
I spit my thoughts into the whiskey
I choke my heart into the smoking cigarette
The stars bleed into the sky.

Radiation-
Fade away
Purse your lips and bite your tongue
And bleed
Scratch your legs and close your eyes
And cry
Shake yourself and break yourself
And laugh
Starve your soul and lose your skin
And fall
Hold yourself and kill yourself
And die.

High Note-
When all your tears have gone
And drugs can only keep you
When they have left you
And rooftops won't seat you
When you're not warm
And you are love hungry
When you're still bleeding
And still not eating
I'll be pressed to the floor waiting forever for you.

Unicorn-
Blinded by your shrouded screams
Protected by your indented eyes
Mysteries echoing throughout the night
And you tear me off
Yeah, you let me go
No, you told me so
You've kissed this world goodbye
You hold no place in these mascara eyes
You've shattered all that's left in my heart
You swear my pain is just the start
Walk these empty rooms alone
Trace the ceiling with your cigarette smoke
Memories flee this lonely life
Cry your skin away
Yeah, you told me so
No, don't let me go
You've kissed this world goodbye
You hold no place in these mascara eyes
You've shattered all that's left in my heart
You swear my pain is just the start
Your broken hands have touched my hair
Your freckled eyes have seen me solid
Your burning lips have tasted mine
And yet you stand transparent
And I leave fingerprints upon your ghost
You've kissed this world goodbye
You hold no place in these mascara eyes
You've shattered all that's left in my heart
You swear my pain is just the start.

Motel-
Pull those streams of water from your eyes and let it all go
Wonder why you're still alive and hurt tonight
Breathing midnight air and chewing at your sleeves, you fall asleep forever.
