Tiny Bodies

Only the good die young
So I'll be around
for a thousand years or so
Strutting about in the dark
Bright lights illuminate
not enough pretty faces
Scowl & move along
Only the bold win here
So I'll go ahead
& get settled in
I'll feel at home
being the deviant I am
Until the girls with tiny bodies
begin to leave the room
Scour the room a while
It was if God had
clicked his pocket watch
& began the countdown
So I fed my ego with a drink
I took a lap around the room
My eyes locked & yours did too
We both knew our intentions
So my dear, I think we've won
Savour that glance we had

Joy

Joy, I'd jump for you
High into the sky
Up higher than I've ever jumped before
Oh, I dream of all the times
When your pigeon-toed goodbyes
Were brash enough
To never take flight
Well, those simple things they always get you down
I guess I'll go & be more passive now
Joy, I'd love for you
To be by my side
So I can feel the breeze again
'Cause it feels as though I have
Encased myself in glass
& I can't see any love getting in

Glasgow Kiss

I sold my soul for wealth
I guess that's the price I pay for it
But if I threw away all my wit
What would I have?
We've all got egos to keep in check
But mine's just about the best you'll get
After all I'm waging wars with my regrets
& my concealments
If you're wondering
& oh, I think that you are
I've been slipping through the cracks of time
Just hoping,
Hoping that you'd take notice
‘Cause our future never looked so bright
I've never had a Glasgow kiss
I guess that's a way of asking for it
But your violence isn't old fashioned you see
You use your charm to hold me down
& your contempt to beat me up
If you're wondering
& oh, I think that you are
I've been slipping through the cracks of time
Just hoping,
Hoping that you'd take notice
‘Cause we had no flaws in our design

Batting 100 Now
03:19

I'm all torn up about the weekend I just had
I was acting out of character, an extension of who I am
I was a great defier, the warrior
that split the hairs between others
Now I'm the catalyst of all the terrors to come
I was on fire
I'm not even human anymore
I wasn't cold
I could've warmed your heart for hours
I was on fire
But I'm not even badly burned
Well, those Americans
have got their sayings for doing well
They say they're batting a thousand
Well, I'm batting a hundred now
I was the patriarch,
the definition of a proud, learned man
But all those days, they've all gone to shit
I keep throwing myself into flames
just trying to ignite
Orange & yellow warmth tonguing at my sides
I should be gone,
but I could not get closer to a perfect state
Make no mistake; I'm just a man that makes mistakes
