a melody on the breeze

silent on the side as i wait my turn to come
shall i burn inside the sun or on the wall?
your hand is near my heart and i can't think how to breathe
will i fall apart or float upon the breeze?

distance has a way of making everything so small
i can't imagine the pain you keep away
will it find us in the dark? will our hiding spot be strong?
just how long can we last this far apart?

compliments of air, precious little star
how i wonder just what it is you are
if the winds be true, may we catch this evening sky
fly further than the night and say goodbye

Something Worth Nothing

I practice politicians
Pre-spoken sentiments
Pre-broken but expensive silent instruments
Something that is worth nothing
Can't escape the skin you break
Can't give back what you've taken
Give me a break

The killer's in my living room
A monster's in my living room
He watches me while I watch TV

Cash craving broken promise
Crazed muggers in disguise
Lies, cheating, words misleading in suits and ties
A noble liquidation
A sorry with a smile
The art of masturbation always in style

There's a killer in my living room
The creature in my living room
It watches me while I watch TV
