WHAT WAS WRONG WITH 6969.

LETS GO BACK TO 69

Today I wake up in th is commotion.buried under a modern ocean.

Thinking back to that Friday night we stayed up in the back seat

So young that all we knew was right. and your street light drenched body was pressed against me.

That time we listened to the lunar lander and this guy named Neil said something and I missed it we were sohighremember?

We set ourselves on firewe shot up to the moon

Got crazy at some place called Woodstock . It ended all too soon

It ended all too soon..

SO Lets set ourselves on fire .

On f ire

IT COULDNT GET MUCH BRIGHTER

WE COULDNT GET MUCH HIGHER.

SET OURSELVES ON FIRE AND GO BACK TO 69..

LETS GO BACK TO 69 1969

1969we gave up along with innocence..but sometime s it s nice to return to this 1969..

1969

I know now that it wa s all violence .i know now it was all rebellionI know now that Im pushed into the mold..

But what was wrong with our long hairand skinny jeans and rock and roll.when we would race down Marylandavenue and the cops would just laugh at those kids. And yo ud were my letter jacket when it was cold

I know now that i cant return .. Surely now Ive gotten old.

But the times are here ..and tonight were spending it in the back seat.and your streetlight drenched body ispressed to me ..

so lets set ourselves on fire and go to the moon..

Lets set ourselves on fire ..its ending soon..lets go back to 69..

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH 69?

It touches me

your caressing glances from across the room

I harness it

All of the energy it takes to keep me over here.

..all that I ever needed .all that you can give .is fifteen feet away

In the smoke I am consumed

the thoughtless elixir from your spoon

Your raven hair and milky skin has permanently made their place on my memories

I breath deep.

All that you give is just ten feet away.

We gravitate like fire to the wind.

Till all that s left is ashesall thats left is ashes.

So many pe ople here that Ill never know.

Too many people revolving around us.

There is no one behind you and no one before ..

so tired of keeping this within

And everything you have to offer is five feet away and ten minutes and thirty seconds and all in the blend.

Your two feet and five minutes maybe thirty seconds .all consuming..

We gravitate like fire into the wind.

Whats left is ashes in the wind.

Like a hollow tree in the storm you took me in. I cannot recall ever speaking a word.

I cannot see far enough to let it go.putting it all aside is not even on my mind

That tattoo has entranced me under my fingers I can feel your spineand your hair whips meone foottensecondswithin.withoutconsuming..five seconds within

We gravitate

We gravitate like fire to the w ind and all thats left is ashes

Exit orderly.

Some have learned to adapt.some have become efficient..

Overcoming all of the cries ..overruling the impulses

Here is the place we are fromhere is the place weve came to. full circle

Your blood will never be on their hands

Your tears will never drown them

In spite of the distance you have nothing to fear

Follow..followturn into the puppetfollow

Follow.keep watching.in spite of the distance you have nothing to fear

Standing at the podium they give speeches..sometime the fangs show through the mask S

Raising fists in triumph..spouting poison gas but dont worry it wont last.

This is the place were from..here is the place weve came to.

Lights extinguish please

No witnesses to your dreams

Never mind the curtain..just follow

Followfollow..back into your rightful place

Keep breathing.in spite of the distance..

Exit orderly.exit orderly to the light.. and away..

Just follow

BLEEDING WHITE HATRED

I DONT LIKE WHEN THE HATRED COMES OVER ME

COVERING MY FACE LIKE A PLASTIC SHEET

HARSH LIGHTS BLINDING

I WISH THE TRUTH HAD NEVER BEEN TOLD

I CLAW AT YOUR FACIAL MEMORY WHEN IT TAKES HOLD

THE VERY THING THAT I DISPISE IS YOU

THE VERY ROOT OF MY EVIL LIFE IS YOU

WHY CANT I TAKE THIS OUT

TAKE IT OUTTHIS DARKNESS HAS CONSUMED ME

BLEED IT WHITE.THE SEA HAS COME TO DROWN ME

MAKE IT ALL DRAIN INTO THE NEVER ENDING NIGHT

TAKE IT ALL DOWN AND REPLACE IT WITH THE LIGHT

OOZING LIKE A POISON THROUGH ALL OF MY LIMBS

PUSHING OUT MY DREAMS AND IMAGINARY FRIENDS

I CURSE THE MOMENT THAT YOU TOOK HOLD OF ME

I CURSE THE SECOND THAT I KNEW THE TRUTH

THE BLACKNESS INSIDE YOUIS IN MY HEAD

PENETRATING MY SKULL LIKE YOU DID

RIPPING AND TEARING THROUGH IT ALL





DID YOU ENJOY IT? OR WAS I JUST A TRICK?
