Broken Play

no words no song no sound no voice no hands no ears no mouth pure quiet deep silence i tried and tried but it wouldn’t come has it dried or has it died why will it not come out did i wear her down did i take too much did i drain the life from the love i serve sing softly sing slowly i feel it flowing through me my last song i give my voice verse and chorus the words and chords

i spent that time running wild living free burning bright electric in the night queen of summer i feel alive sunglasses sundresses leather bound and deepest black true fire in softest moonlight trust me hold me close your eyes lay down your head give in to me hold tight the bunny and feel me bleed smile back at me from the kitchen sink prepare our meal so we can eat i taste the moment and savor every bite our lips an open window tonight you are my wine and through the mouth of pain and loss just say my name to see my ghost i’ll find you in forever i’ve prayed and asked of god please tell me what to do and then in the very next breath begged him to drop his sword and cut the earth in two erase the world leave only you i made a mess of angels a war in heaven your throne forsaken

wide eyes on my passenger side tonight we’ll take a ride one hand on the wheel the other on your knee i take control and drive us deep through darkened highway and quiet streets we go forever we die together have you ever felt god lied to you even though you know it isn’t true i thought i heard him whisper was the voice i heard my own or worse around my neck this babychain its tiny links spell out your name and it never comes off it is who i am it is part of me it is my body out there somewhere you wear one too a golden truth when i die again let it rest with me above the ouroboros my only peace may it never break may it give us strength let it be the light let it keep us safe in distant spirit i feel it shake feel it rattle chains on heaven’s mighty gate let us in we are weak and spent held together by love’s red thread the greatest love the world has known fed into the fire mouth of the unknown swallow us whole our chain on your breath give us the blessing that this earth could not afford

sweet angel close your eyes you find me safe tonight am i real or am i dream do you feel my hands beneath your sheets wild cherry sun pink coral moon let’s live forever let’s die too soon busy in the kitchen lean over the ledge rub my beck and stroke my hair my esme your father’s watch on your wrist and from your lips i hear my name prepare a place i see the light through the window pray for me softly remember my eyes flung so far from you wait for me baby earth is a prison i don’t know how much time i’ll do i am the man of your dreams you found me now keep me all i can do is sing

my life is a thread pulled back pulling hard my world is a tomb of beauty my star will fall and again i’ll die this time i won’t survive all things i know will disappear my love this song her tears in death : redemption i hold no key i follow the light that i cannot see i feel it reaching i have no fear manifest appear appear in death : creation reborn in beams of radiant power and unspeakable things all for this mercy i give myself i sacrifice my total being concealed in violet encased in ancient lilac pulled from the orchid’s vein blood like lavender amethyst rain o holy death i hear your teeth they grind and grind while you watch me sleep all things i know will disappear my love this song her tears

all black always like a priest i will wear this every day black jeans black shirt black boots my skin marked up with truth deep raven and india ink i bring my knife up to your cheek in darkness i flicker and spit o candle singe that rope again i feel the reapers swarming up my arm blacking out the image obscuring the already adorned a horse laid heavy in blood and flesh that’s torn unbridled true wild i tame you break you thou art mine i see a panther she shows me all her teeth manifest in power dig deep and cover me i fear losing the details the memories so clear every day a step further i fight the dream that time might steal i drive all night you sleep and pray a giant 8-ball to cover up my heart in solid black i add one hundred i finish where i start to swallow shadows and smell forever bleed take slow the road and mind the edges i find you on your knees my song for baby this panther hunting me wide mouth claws out my death in screaming ebony bright veil of heaven pull back so i might see what angel weeps my name in silence please forgive me

what tries to hunt me and find me weak i keep my strength but i cannot speak i’ve seen the edges and looked beyond they sit and wait for me i know the meaning i know this play i see the hunter i see his prey you want me now just one more song but not this one the words aren’t done i feel it hiding underneath my strings i can make it come i can make it scream love is greeting heaven together love is glowing hidden treasure
