False eyes I cannot see
Prisoner inside my mind
Stories untold bereaved
Lost is the soul denied
Questions to answers seek
Diamond beneath a rock
Buried deep I do weep
Hands turning slowly clocked
Find me in your deceit
A mirror turned facing me
Looking hard a shard freed
Left without nothing
I am what I believe
Girl you are what you see
Somehow I'm what I need
Someone worthy of me

I am nothing

I am nothing
Skin and bones
Voice of dissent
Paying rent
Wishing
Knowing well
Ideas I've plenty
Seeking something
Still I beget
Past regrets
Pasting smiles
On mile highs
Pretending
This life fine
Yeah maybe
Ghosts expired
Set on fire
Lies and truths
Who explains
What we knew
Ain't noone listening
Are you?

Sweet Grass Moonshine

With lusty breaths
A wayward glance
Through delicate strands
A sweetheart dance
Neath midnight blue
On wings of sound
With your gentle breaths
My lover calls
Sweet grass moonshine
Twilight felled soul
Kiss my lips gently
Girl I did know

Nowhere

I ain't going nowhere
I am standing still
Old tracks on new skin
Pressing tin
And rambling weeds
Feeling my sins
Dime-store bags of candy
Paper sacks emptied
Sugared high rolling
Ain’t feeling
This juice flowing
Inside me
Spending all your dollars
I’ll spread my legs babe
Tell me you love me
It’s ok
Wearing these lies
Like a face
So tired
Moving slowly
Where I begin
Is where I end
