Poems (Day One)
Two of my favorite sets of poems / lyrics. Eventually set to music!
[Timebomb]
My hummingbird heart jitters softly
Like the little time bomb that could
I’ve been striking out so constantly
I forget to clear deadwood
Deadwood, Dead lines
Live-wire, all fine
Red cord? Or lime?
Snip one, Sublime
It won’t matter a little bit, in time
One day the
Reapers will reap what you sow, you Sow
The roses will never grow
Just weeds and wildflowers and thorns in the throes
The roses will never grow
Caged canary soon croaks, it will never glow
A time bomb about to blow
Segmented displays, I guess I should have known
A time bomb about to bl-💥
[Catatonic Savior]
I’d give up a heartache for a headache in a heartbeat
Unfortunately it seems that i’ve been blessed to have all three
Every little conflict, comfort, capsule, every cathode
Butterflies in my stomach and cocoons inside my spleen
You can claim that it's not that serious
And you can claim i'm simply delirious
But would delirium have granted me this kind of bliss?
Conniptions and carnations, canary kiss my lips
But if the love i long for kills me, please don’t worry
I’ve got another eight lives left to go
Love is like an avalanche, an overwhelming flurry
And i've dropped to seven while you left me in the snow
While clueless curiosity may have killed the cat,
Unlucky rabbits aren't pulled out of the hat
A fleeting fling is better than a love turned flat
My iron lung, my heart of gold
My diamond skull, my carbon soul
Melt me down for one final gesture
I’ll be your perfect, personal jester
Now, I am the sheep - the shears, and yes, the slaughter
You are the new world, leader of the ring
Unsheath the blade now- slowly- and i offer
My feeble sacrifice, coat me with a shade of deep red
I am the lamb, the leech, the lich, the legend
Black sheep blamed for bleating a bit too bold
Cut the tags, blood-let me free to go then
When i'm dead, don't coat me bronze, just let me mold
