Dancing Boy

Do you remember when we wrote down
Our dreams on scrap paper
And hair had not grown under our arms
Do you remember when I was scared
Of thunderstorms and my mother’s shoes
Were too large on my feet
Obsessions in retrospect
Like mirrors giving away
A hidden secret of a past
A dancing boy queering away
A smiling boy, queering away his life
Do you remember when we first fooled around
Bodies in transit, crazed and drunken days
And we shot naked pictures
Young men in an upstairs room
Do you remember when we tried make up on
And our lips still reddened smiles
And my mother’s shoes
Were too large on my feet
Obsessions in retrospect
Like mirrors giving away
A hidden secret of a past
A dancing boy queering away
A smiling boy, queering away his life

And now I know why you blush
when you look at me
When you turn around
and your gaze meets the horizon
And now I am certain why you
play hard and you play your tricks
I am not a fool aren't i?
I am not a fool aren’t I?
I am not a fool aren’t I?
You feed on the love
of those around you
You suck on the blood
of those who love you
And now I know why your head
turns and your heart pumps
I have found you read-handed baring your fangs
And now I am certain why you
seem so sweet it's the blood
I am not a fool aren't i?
I am not a fool aren’t I?
I am not a fool aren’t I?
The blood flowing from my veins
feeds your need of love
You, you, you feed on the love
of those around you
You feed on the love
of those around you
You suck on the blood
of those who love you

He cannot handle it

It doesn’t make sense to me
I want to understand
It really pains to hear it
It really makes me sick
To hear it once again
It is what it is I’ve never wanted it, to begin
With lights turning off, cell count is good
I wasn’t reckless only a man who loves
Is it my mistake
He cannot handle it
He cannot handle it
He cannot handle it
He cannot handle it
It is what it is I’ve never wanted it, to begin
With lights turning off, cell count is good
I wasn’t reckless only a man who loves
Is it my mistake Is it my mistake
It doesn’t make sense to me
I want to understand
It really makes me sick
I cannot stand to hear
those words again
those words again
those words again
He cannot handle it
He cannot handle it
He cannot handle it
He cannot handle it

A last gaze of my dad
04:13
|
|
||
|
I stop by a town bistro
Confused memories crowing
A theatre groupe spanning the years
Ashes crowding my head
Lurking behind the bushes
Of my hometown
I wish I could get lost in my city now
I sit down as an old man chats with me
I’ve never been good as small talk
I don’t listen to him but look from a distance
The ashes beckon to me a last gaze of my dad

A word up there

Don’t you see there’s a word up there
Hanging in the sweet burning air
And I play with the thought of you
But I am walking away from the dunes
You’re swimming and you are inside me
While the lightning is eating your gentle stroke
And a thunder is threatening my song
Don’t you see there’s a word up there
Hanging in the sweet burning air
And I play with the thought of you
Beyond the rules I’ve set for my self
It’s the deside I am to withhold
Mocking the look, the sand in my eyes
And a thunder is deafening my song
Don’t you see there’s a word up there
Hanging in the sweet burning air
And I play with the thought of you

Halting my limbs
Drying off my tongue
Speechless before you
Speechless because of you
I am in a bit of an internal turmoil,
Speechless before you
Speechless because of you
Exciting your heart
Frightening your smile
Heartless before me
Helpless because of me
You’re a in a bit in of an internal turmoil, turmoil, turmoil
Speechless before you
Speechless because of you
Speechless before you
Speechless because of you
Like a drum beating my breast
Like a trumpet stomping while I rest
Like your music I will never hear
Like the oceans we’ll never cross

It’s raining a night a lonely dreams
I am thinking of you, I’m thinking of us
I’m thinking of us, of us, of us, of us….
I wonder if there has ever been such a thing
Last night you were crying out
As the rays of my feelings were piercing through you
It’s raining tonight I am waiting for a hint
I wonder if there has ever been such a thing
I wonder if there has ever been such a thing
My patience is running out
My love is wearing out
My patience is running out
My love is wearing out
It’s raining a night a lonely dreams
I am thinking of you, I’m thinking of us
I’m thinking of us, of us, of us, of us of us, of us, of us….
I wonder if there has ever been such a thing
Last night you were crying out
As the rays of my feelings were piercing through you
It’s raining tonight I am waiting for a hint
The night will soon be over
Spleep will catch up with me
Morning will break with a rainbow
I wonder if there has ever been such a thing
I wonder if there has ever been such a thing
My patience is running out
My love is wearing out
My patience is running out
My love is wearing out

Move on

My shoes are waiting by the door
Four empty bottles of wine are standing
beside them, the price tag still on them
I am looking over as I am sitting on my couch
Move on
Move on
A standstill by the door, the truce I set up
With myself is no longer working out
The threshold is moving as I try to move on
The threshold is moving as I try to move on
Move on
Move on
Tonight as the rain falls down and the city
tries to sleep in spite of me
I break down in tears, I break down the door
The threshold is moving as I try to move on
Move on
Move on
