lyrics

I traced my name in the sand,
where darkness meets light,
I lost rationality through fear,
exchanging melody and reason,
for the petty tabloids in this city's wasted seasons.
Where darkness meets light,
the memories fade and the mirrors crack,
from the sight of my pompous guardian,
becoming the ventriloquist,
of my weak, adolescent frame,
guiding me to the educational Holocaust:
where false words are guidelines; running parallel
with a poet's cheated vows.
I've wasted my skin,
on burnt reds and photos of nights spent,
counting mantras of waves,
and flames of blood in the sky of summer's madness,
melting into the ink of a pen,
where a home full of letters of my romantic past,
are written effervescently on the walls, for the earth and it's friends to hear.

When I return home,
I hope to hear the words,
I once so carefully carved into life,
seeping through the floors,
and into the cracks of every rich, weathered floor board,
where I had left my hands to their sworn love:

Where they traced their name in the sand;
where the darkness meets the light.
