I don't much care where...as long as I get SOMEWHERE...

Je t'aime

Small Fry

Mother

A mother trickles down those lost and lonely stairs
People tell her that she’s beautiful but she doesn’t seem to care
To catch her off the box is a rare sight indeed
Another world, another planet she really wants to be
Because she does not partake in the shallow things we do
Her orb contains a heart bigger than any of us knew 
Stronger than the waves crashing upon that frightful sea
Her blue and grey stories meant everything to me
She sings her songs of courage, she sings her songs of grace
Her poetic words of parting the men always have to chase
As a little girl she skipped and granted other people magic
Soft hands floating above the piano like doves who seem to have it
Go now into the unknown without fear
Please, can’t someone tell her she knows her destiny?
She knows her inevitable point in time, you see
I decided to walk into your dream and not only inspire but
I changed it
Because I’m your umbrella you carry with you
Through the rain which seldom breaks your heart
Sleep tight my dear, for soon you’ll feel the Arizona sun
And with conviction it tells you the new day has begun.

Gotye - Giving Me A Chance

Neon Indian - Era Extraña

Behind the Mirror

                                            Behind the Mirror
Fumbling words and petty speak lead me to a dark space
Eyes gaze upon another sad creature
The stench of desperation fills the room     
Tiptoe lightly, anything but this
Firm and distracted handshakes because I just want out of there!
A calm rushes over and I know what I need to say
It’s mapped out for me, thank you
Thank you for giving me the words dear lordship
Let me pour it in your mouth and pray I’m not lukewarm
Play a part of a sweet child longing to be loved
Or a mystery girl with one-liners
Chase after that imaginary man!
You are holding a basket full of dignity!
Take us to an ethereal place please
So we don’t have to try anymore
Cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut
Copy
Belittle a craft that you have no idea how to be grateful for
The Grecian beauty once taught by Gods and sons of Gods
Has turned into this?
Hand us your face and we’ll turn you into a frog
We will take away your magic and deny you ever had any
A beautiful cordate butterfly
Now crumbled leaves and forgotten dreams
So I leave and find my pen, my solace
I leave to return to Grace 

Wow
