Funny

ain’t it funny
how you can listen to old sounds that make you feel funny
how you can look into another’s eyes and feel the same
feels insane
ain’t it funny
how you can fabricate a moment that isn’t real
but it makes you feel so funny
i wonder what makes the world a lonely place
i wonder what’s in space
incongruent lines of time
of vagrant mind’s
i wonder what’s mine
ain’t it funny
to look a sad man in his eyes
it makes you feel funny
to parade a constant disguise
to feel alive
ain’t it funny
how you can attach yourself to nothing in hopes to heal
but it makes you feel -
I wonder what makes the world a lonely place
i wonder what’s in space
incongruent lines of time
of vagrant minds
i wonder what is mine
ain’t it funny
how you can love until you've loved enough to feel
all that is real and so funny
and it makes you feel so funny

Violet Fire

if ice was warm
and winter could burn an iris to its core
cool is the warmest flame
it melts the blame
without shame
we cause violet fires, it seems-
-we’re but a dream
emerald eyes and purple skies
they gleam
mountain breeze, fall to me knees
i stare in admiration
familiar smell i know too well
a love that often bleeds
[chorus]
two more steps you’ll pass me by
and i’ll awake with tired eyes
my fear of loneliness is no surprise
i sit on a chalkboard roof
as skies turns a darker blue
i fill my lazy head with thoughts of you
i lit the violet fire to clean
in truth i lie
in a freezing bed of longing i hide
fool is the only name
that i’m to claim
we’re the same
so flows the violet flame again-
-there is rain
majesty and disbelief remain
holy means your soul’s pristine
unearthly man redeems
hubris of a god above
my own relief is love
[chorus]
you caused the violet fire
he caused the violet fire
i caused the violet fire in me

This Heart

this heart is breaking
this heart is breaking
it’s making up stories to explain its aching
to absolve you of your worries
to leave my heart breaking
this heart needs mending
this heart needs tending to
it feels the absence of a father’s chime
it feels the absence of a lover’s time
and there’s a hole in need of mending
i don’t know what to do
how do i get through?
i wanna feel new
i don’t wanna be you
drink away your sorrows
forget it all tomorrow
i’m not to be used
when you’re feeling confused
i’m too easily bruised
i’m sick of the booze
this heart is trembling
this heart is trembling
it’s holding on solely to await its ending
to ignore time pending
and to leave this heart trembling
this heart is breaking
this heart is breaking
mother’s voice i now feel burdened by
child’s choice to someday say goodbye
and leave behind
a love that has shaped me
