inhale, out of need
desire has its own requests


its meant to be fierce and un-yielding

You have Loved Enough

I said I’d be your lover.
You laughed at what I said.
I lost my job forever.
I was counted with the dead.

I swept the marble chambers,
But you sent me down below.
You kept me from believing
Until you let me know:

That I am not the one who loves –
It’s love that seizes me.
When hatred with his package comes,
You forbid delivery.

And when the hunger for your touch
Rises from the hunger,
You whisper, "You have loved enough,
Now let me be the Lover."

I swept the marble chambers,
But you sent me down below.
You kept me from believing
Until you let me know:

That I am not the one who loves –
It’s love that chooses me.
When hatred with his package comes,
You forbid delivery.

And when the hunger for your touch
Rises from the hunger . . .

this old revolution

Lately you've started to stutter
as though you had nothing to say.
To all of my architects let me be traitor.
Now let me say I myself gave the order
to sleep and to search and to destroy.

Into this furnace I ask you now to venture...

Yes, you who are broken by power,
you who are absent all day,
you who are kings for the sake of your children's story,
the hand of your beggar is burdened down with money,
the hand of your lover is clay.

Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows,

i didnt think you would like that
this light in your darkness

but i revel in its destruction of your desire
for darkness

the cracks are where
this light shines in

NIGHT COMES ON

dont love me quite so fiercely now
you now that you are not sure

( you say you have turned away from me
but i can feel you when you breathe)

i should tell you
but i never will
because it is mine, its what you can't take away and you cant own
you have no right to claim more anger, you have already been over justified for your actions

yet karma comes
and i am now the one that knows.

everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows
