Trail of Pain

I could crush my heart with expectation
It's just easier to focus on yours
I'm made of mirrors
Substituting compassion for pure reflection and closing doors
Force of habit and self-interest
I lose track of you in an instant
Lack of care is a moment
But the trail of pain persists
I could try to love as myself
But that would require work and committment
You hold your breath so expectantly
Turning blue as you wait for me
Force of habit and self-interest
I lose track of you in an instant
Lack of care is a moment
But the trail of pain persists
I could crush my heart with expectation
It's just easier to focus on yours
I'm made of mirrors
Substituting compassion for pure reflection and closing doors

Broken

It's dark by six take us home early
The moment and meaning has surely been missed
At our thickest we can't even guess
Pile on potatoes try to enjoy this mess
Dumb tired
All of a sudden it's 3a.m.
Dumb tired
Mouth breathing to gain oxygen
Back on our feet again time has slipped
Slumber gives way to a dawning
Memory aches, competes, without complaint
Hands full of charcoal and mud are drawing
Thorns and briars
Conceived desires
LIke barbed wire
catching our cuffs and sleeves
It was fun while it lasted
Our answer if anyone comes asking
Oh, it was fun while it lasted
Mark my words I'm not joking
Swallow another drink without choking
Try to hide just how broken
Not hiding at all that I'm broken

As I write this you are sleeping, you are dreaming
There are promises to yourself you are keeping in a realm of hope
Where magic still exists
Secures the smile upon your lips
All I can do is watch and admire
With a fresh flash of desire
Inside my heart
Inside my heart
Your peaceful breathing
Serene calm receiving
graceful weaving
Let me count the ways
Let me count the ways
You capture me
Enrapture me
This is but one

Hound

Where are you going at such a brisk pace
I see you there with your competent gate
A fresh smell and a wind reddened face
You keep moving forward with savvy and grace
You let me know when we arrive
Can we tell by the length of shadows
Or the passing of clouds in the sky
Will there be resting point after this race
How will I recognize we've reached the end
For my lack of trust and vision I 'pologize with haste
Trying to match the speed we keep to fill the silent space
You let me know when we arrive
Can we tell by the length of shadows
Or the passing of clouds in the sky
Can I keep hounding you for the how and why
Can I keep hounding you for the how and why - hi-ee-hi (woo-hoo-hoo-ooh hoo)

You Wanted To

In darkest night/ you confide your secrets
In close confidence you/ express your regrets
By shadows light/ sleep whispers may forget
Suggested recompense you/ hedge your bets
My love, my pet, my heart, my dear
My love, my pet, my heart, my dear
You would be faithful if you wanted to
You would be so true
You would be faithful if you wanted to
You would be so true
But I can't, I won't be a party to this
I can't, I won't be a party to this
You did what you wanted to
You did what you wanted to
You did what you wanted
