Mutual Core








I shuffle around the tectonic plates in my chest.










You know I gave it all,
Try to match our continents
To change seasonal shift,
To form a mutual core.











As fast as your fingernail grows,
The Atlantic ridge drifts
To counteract distance.








You know I gave it all,
Can you hear the effort of the magnetic strife?
Shuffling of columns
To form a mutual core.








This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn't know I had it in me,
Withheld your love, an unspent capsule.
I didn't know you had it in you,
You hid the key to our continuity.
I didn't know you had it in you.
This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn't know, you didn't know.










What you resist persists, nuance makes heat
To counteract distance
I know you gave it all,
Offered me harmony if things were done your way.
My Eurasian plate subsumed,
Forming a mutual core







This eruption undoes stagnation.
You didn't know I had it in me,
Withheld your love, an unspent capsule.
I didn't know you had it in you.
This eruption undoes stagnation
You didn't know I had it in me
This eruption undoes stagnation
You didn't know, you didn't know.

Bachelorette





I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the Whirl

Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love is a two way dream

Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay




I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street

I'm a whisper in water
Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

Leave me now, return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder hand
I'm the branch that you break

So broken



 

So broken,
In pieces,
My heart is so broken,
I'm puzzling.

Here I go
Trying to run ahead of that,
Heart break train,
Thinking,
It will never catch up with me.



I'm so broken,
So broken,

I'm trying to land,
This airplane of ours gracefully,
But it seems just destined to crash,

HiDDeN




  
Through the warmest
Cord of care
Your love was sent to me

I'm not sure
What to do with it
Or where to put it

Now I have
Been slightly shy
And I can smell a pinch of hope
To almost have allowed once fingers
To stroke
The fingers I was given to touch with

But careful, careful!

There lies my passion, hidden
There lies my love
I'll hide it under a blanket
Lull it to sleep


I'll keep it in a hidden place

Keep it in a hidden place

In a hidden place

I've seen it all

~ You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru!
- I'm happy to say I had better to do


~ What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
- All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall!


~ You've never been to Niagara Falls?
- I have seen water, its water, that's all...


~ The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State?
- My pulse was as high on my very first date!


~ And the one you will marry?
- To be honest, I really don't care...







I've seen it all, I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark.
I've seen what I chose and I've seen what I need,
And that is enough, to want more would be greed.
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

You've seen it all and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark, the big and the small
Just keep in mind - you need no more at all
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all - there is no more to see!

human behaviour


human behaviour

If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready, be ready to get confused




And there's no map

and a compass
wouldn't help at all

They're terribly moody



There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
