I have been searching
For someone to quell my appetite
And you are the moon
You sacrifice the sun to light up the room
And I won’t forget you
No matter how far you stray from me
And I will find you
There’s nowhere that you can hide from me…

Nocturne

Another long night
Sailing to the wails of sirens
Until the morning bleeds into the sea
And the stars shine
Like the flare of muzzle fire
Reflecting off your vacant eyes…
And I can’t fall asleep
Without you next to me—
I don’t want to dream
About you killing me
Another high tide
That draws me back to life
Only to eventually recede
And I’m stranded
Storming all your empty shores
Contemplating drowning…
And I can’t fall asleep
Without you next to me—
I don’t want to dream
About you killing me
My heart beats out an S.O.S.
As I feel her head against my chest
I hope that no one finds her
And I hope that no one finds my bride
But she won’t be mine -
They’re never mine…
She won’t be mine -
They’re never mine…
She won’t be mine
As the sun drowns in the water, she’s crying…

Color me permanently inebriated
If that’s what it takes to make you bat an eye -
I will drown in the bar to lure you out
And I will swim through a river of Jameson
To test your mouth -
And I’ll rinse and repeat with I.V.’s full of gin
I have been an addict since the day I was born
And you have vices that I can’t afford (I can’t afford)
And I can’t live to chase you anymore…
I would dabble at gunpoint robbery so you could afford
The whole damn liquor store
Camp out in seedy alleys to help you score
And I would break down the crystal
And watch your septum deviate
I’ve made some mistakes -
And you have holes to fill
I have been an addict since the day I was born
And you have vices that I can’t afford (I can’t afford)
And I can’t live to chase you anymore…
I’ve been living a double life -
I’ve been living a double life…

I can see you’re drowning
Even when you’re coming up for air…
Your restraint is astounding
Because you don’t even notice that I’m there…
I’ve been sleeping with ghosts…
And you can’t even come close—
So take what you want if that’s what you need
Take what you want from me...
If what you need to doubt me
Is a little silence when you scream,
Won’t it be confounding
When I open all the doors to help you leave?
Then you’ll be sleeping with ghosts…
and I won’t even come close—
So take what you want if that’s what you need
Take what you want from me...
I’ve been sleeping with ghosts…
You can’t even come close—
And you’ll be sleeping with ghosts…
I won’t even come close—
So we’ll be sleeping with ghosts
But we won’t even come close
So take what you want and just let me leave
(If that’s what you need)
Take what you want from me…

Talk To Me

A snapshot of a romance -
My love we waltz around the point
Until we dizzy and collapse
Drawing a picture and hoping the ink lasts
The minute hand is on the present
And the hour is on the door
Take your red dress to bed
And I’ll take the floor
Because I need you to haunt my dreams
And remove my spleen
Oh, darling please…
Two inches was the difference
Between a sundress and a casket
My love, you’ve been leaving marks
And hitting targets while I am in the dark
The minute hand is on the present
And the hour is on the door
Take your red dress to bed
And I’ll take the floor
Because I need you to haunt my dreams
And remove my spleen
Oh, darling please…
Talk to me as if we never met before
This isn’t a party -
It's just a eulogy from rock-bottom
So talk to me - haunt my dreams - and remove my spleen
This isn’t a party
It's just an exorcism...

Spade

Your eyes are like obsidian
They gaze into oblivion
Slack-jawed as a simpleton staring at the sun
A sinner’s disdain for a saint
Anguish makes a marinade
That slowly seeps into my brain
Until your mouth can make me tame…
And on the topic of sin,
I’m halfway between caring and offering a spade
To dig up a hole that you want to live in
Cigarettes and perfume were
Cruel tools to employ
Emptying your arsenal
Attempting to destroy
My confidence, or any hope for change of circumstance
Trusting in a cut-rate actor playing at romance -
And on the topic of change
I won’t owe you a dime for the dollars made
In telling all the world of your half-wit smile
And all the scars you’ve been handing out
I hope that someone finds you…
I hope that someone finds you....

There was a fire in her eyes
Bewitching embers set alight by charm & wit
My God - the way she’d bite her lip
The subtle swaying of her hips
Still drew me in
And I’ve lamented every fingertip
That ever grazed her skin before we met
I still lay awake at night
Holding her tight -
I swore to cherish every breath
So when she said that she was leaving
I immediately opened both my wrists
I begged without compunction while
My passion spilled in sanguine rivulets
And the life and love I offered her
Is slithering like a snake across our bed
Because baby when it comes to losing you -
I’d rather lose myself instead
There was a kindness in his eyes
A wondrous warmth I found myself confiding in
With every breath against my neck
Each sacrosanct entanglement of lips and limbs
I surrendered the serenity
Of certainty to keep from tainting this
Because relief is just a lie
We try and hide behind until we meet our end…
Baby, all I ever wanted was
A safe and silent place to rest my head
In a world of mixed messages
You were a manifesto to be read
But now the life and love you offered me
Is slithering like a snake across our bed
So, baby, when it comes to saving you -
I’d rather save myself instead…

I fell in love with a girl on the run
We saw the world through the sights on her guns
When I could have sworn that we couldn’t want for more
She dropped me and left me for dead…
Now I’ve got a price on her head
Jakarta, Somalia,
Darlin’, I have to warn you,
There’s no place you’ll be safe from me
I begged and I pleaded
But you still left me bleeding
It’s time for some reciprocity
Because what goes around comes around…
I fell in love with a girl on the run
We saw the world through the sights on her guns
When I could have sworn that we couldn’t want for more
She dropped me and left me for dead…
Now I’ve got a price on her head
I searched for the answers
Hate spreading like cancer -
Replaying the betrayal in my head
I should have expected some deranged rejection
When I brought a killer to bed
Because what goes around comes around…
I fell in love with a girl on the run
We saw the world through the sights on her guns
When I could have sworn that we couldn’t want for more
She dropped me and left me for dead…
Now I’ve got a price on her head
What goes around…

Vertigo

The devil is in the details
And your sins are like stretch marks
Crawling down my spine -
She is gifted purple xanax
From a friend she knows -
She curls and lies on the floor
But her feet never touch the floor
There’s reflections in her eyes -
Of plastic and flashing lights...
Strings of copper conceal her body
Until the time is right -
It could take all damn night
In Amsterdam she is selfishly
Abusing her soul
She lays on the floor
Her addictions quickly spread
To three or four...
There’s reflections in her eyes -
Of needles and loathing desire
But her feet never touch the floor
There’s reflections in her eyes -
Of plastic and flashing lights

Hello, Angel…
I can see your skirt’s still shorter than your memory
But I was never one to re-write history
I can still remember every word you said to me
So let’s start coming clean -
I don’t blame you for this - Your poison’s in your tongue
You can’t help it that you just kiss and run -
Thank you for this - You made me see my faults
I’m not heartless - You just broke my…
You spool your secrets
You thread them out to weave into rich tapestries
Of lies you intertwine with what you mean to be
Your every breath spent crafting new identities
But all of them can bleed…
I don’t blame you for this - Your poison’s in your tongue
You can’t help it that you just kiss and run -
Thank you for this - You made me see your faults
I’m not heartless - Because you just broke my…
The truth is that love isn’t enough
To ever hold a place inside your…
And the truth is, your innocence was lost
Long before you ever broke my…
The truth is this lust was never love
It tore apart the grace inside you…
And the truth is my innocence was lost
Long before you ever broke my…

The room takes shape around me again
I’ve gotta up the dose - or hit the skids
It doesn’t cut through like it used to when
I was using you - I was used to you…
Save me from the lithium
The narcan shivering
Help me to feel anything
But ache and empty need
Hold me until the nicotine
Can remind me where this leads
It doesn’t make me feel like it used to
It won’t feel like using you…
The booze won’t keep me warm
I’ve been an addict since the day I was born
Bending spoons, dope-sick, alone
There are no scars - just track marks
Holes, freshly reformed
Save me from the lithium
The narcan shivering
Help me to feel anything
But ache and empty need
Hold me until the nicotine
Can remind me where this leads
It doesn’t make me feel like it used to
It won’t feel like using you…
It doesn’t make me feel like it used to
It won’t feet like using you
It doesn’t make me feel like it used to
It won't feel like losing you...

Searching for solace in Amsterdam
Bathing my eyes in the Red Light
Wanting the warmth of a trained hand
I found one that ended my life
I swore that I’d make her pay
But it kills me to see her this way -
Sleepless, restless, and on the lamb
She finally gave up her flight
Splayed out in front of a webcam
Dying by seconds each night
She put herself on display
For anyone willing to pay -
When she couldn’t kill men
With poison or firearms
She had to kill them with charm
And when what goes around finally came around
Her feet never found the ground -
Swimming in pills and syringes
The angel of death is exhausting her breath
Fate slipped her straight into my hands -
But all I can feel is regret
Those who go seeking revenge
They often find sorrow instead…
When she couldn’t kill men
With poison or firearms
She had to kill them with charm
And when what goes around finally came around
Her feet never found the ground -
When she couldn’t kill me
With poison or firearms
She finally killed me with charm
And when what goes around finally came around
My feet never found the ground -
Her feet never found the ground -
Our feet never found the ground -
Our love just will not be found...
