1.

Those Eyes
Them long times on the couch
Those drives through the city
Through the desert
How that hot water felt
With your skin pulled tight
against mine
No amount of alcohol
can drain you out
You've stained my skin
my mind
my heart
my thought
You are mine to me
Nothing can change that now
Damn those eyes


2.

It's Chilling with the open road ahead
Just yourself and the wheel
The cd's that hang overhead
You're running
Begging to be free
Trying to get out
Away from the people that care
for you most

I stop to overnight,
Picking a random motel
I walk to the nearest bar
for a drink
for my parched mouth
4 shots down, 2 beers, 2 more
I play pool with an elderly
Till I can take no more
I pay my tab
And continue my walk back to my room
Some bridge I cross over a river
Gleams with the moon

I make it back unharmed
But the world spins over me
I make it to the restroom
Throw up once maybe twice
Then to my temp bed, I stumble
My thoughts throw their weight on me
700 miles down
No turning back now
I shut my eyes

When you wake to a new day
New blood pumping through your veins
Still an empty road ahead
Where your new life waits


3.

My bullshit job
I slave 6-2
Five days a week
My evenings are spent
Wondering what to do

Your smile kills
All I think through the day
Its the only thing getting me by
Yet I still try to
stomp and drown it away

There was a crossroads in my life
Maybe three or four
Maybe one each new day
I think I pick the wrong
every morning

To call or to live
To ring up the past
Or walk by
Just knowing you
might be there


4.

I want to not care
to know nothing was there
to think that you never cared
I want to erase everything

We lived our lives so in sync
But you were not happy
You changed
Like most people do

So I did care
And something was there
So I set you free
And like the saying goes
Maybe you'll come back to me


5.

Muse
How you move
The curve of your hips
and lips
makes words
flow smoothly through mine
My heart beats fast
emotions easily
multiplied
Nothing any substance
can do
I've lost you before
many times
over and over
But your memory
pushes on
You're something I want
I need
I crave
For my thoughts wouldn't
be the same


6.

I miss you now
I thought I didn't
For my thoughts told me
I'm easily replaced

For those times
Oh those lovely times
I'll never see again
or live

You say that I'm stupid
But I want your happiness
For it's too much for me
to fulfill

Maybe if we seperate
You'll miss me too
For my heart and life
can't concentrate


7.

It started with a simple
phone call
An exchange of
evenings

It turned to the past
And what I have done
Plans were made
Yet now undone

You say that you love me
But I'm left confused
For my plans were one course
Now yours always split in two

You dislike who I am
For who I've become
Yet I tell you otherwise
But you'll never understand

I'm left on the fence
From whom I to run
I'll hang here until
Life has begun

I leave you on the line
and tell you
Goodnight, I hope you
won't do anything you'll regret


8.

Fuck your lips
Fuck your face
Goddamn that sweet face

The words it holds
from the curve of lips
to the glint of eyes

Fuck your thoughts
Fuck your hips
Goddamn those sweet hips

For words can't describe
what they hold through
you sweet kiss


9.

We are scared of the uncertain
And what it holds
To a phone number thats unknown
Or whats at the bottom or top

We ignore and choose ignorance
and push to forget
To hitting that hang up
Or keep striving for a life

If only we realized its all unplanned
And happens does
And that phone call was your
love calling
