Be Careful
04:08
|
|||
Be careful about the things you say
Be watchful of the prayers you pray
For no one knows the damning damage
You can do like I do
Be careful
Be careful what you throw away
Or believe me there'll be hell to pay
I thought I understood you, how could you?
You know I'm only damaged goods without you
Be careful
Tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna try to swallow you
To make it understandable
You've got to feed the animal
Tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna try to follow you
But if you don't want me anymore
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful

Thin Ice
01:05
|
|||
Based on a poem by Koura Linda.
I no longer want to hesitate
as I slowly skate
moving along
at any rate
when my heartbeat
races
and I'm caught
making faces
to my reflection
I want to dive in.

I Dream
01:43
|
|||
Based on a poem by StephMadi.
Sitting where I am
But not where I want to be
My imagination is more alive
Than any part of me
It consumes me
To the very center of my core
I know I can do better
I know there is more
I have always dreamed so big
The sky was the limit
But you don’t know how hard the world can be
Until you are living in it
I hope, I try, I fail, I bleed
I dream, I see, I want, I need

Late Great Flowers
02:29
|

Late great flowers bloom
Over grandma's tomb
Where grandpa was buried
Pallbearers carried
The tune through the trees
A white painted breeze
Over shivering black coats
Smoke-lung parade floats
Past Jesus as a sheet ghost
A snow-colored Holy Host
Visions left unheard
Far beyond remembered
Dead songbirds sing amen
When the late great flowers live again
Icicle-covered stones
Rise above dead bones
Embedded bodies get cold feet
And dreams left incomplete
Leave all those hard-earned savings
In hyphenated engravings
I miss my dead grandparents
In dreams they make appearances
While the cemetery freezes
They rest in peace and I rest in pieces
Visions left unheard
Far beyond remembered
Dead songbirds sing amen
When the late great flowers live again

Wilting
00:57
|
|||
Based on a poem by KayBeckz.
She's looking less
like a wildflower
and more like a
weed.
Best put her in
the sun a bit
and let her
breathe.
Toss some water
over her head
for clarity
Take the needle out
of her arm
and root her
in reality.

The Tree
01:42
|
|||
Based on a poem by Matt Conley.
Father made me chop down the tree
It was back then, back when I was small
Twenty strikes was what it took
The tree shrieked, bent, then folded flat
Snow wrapped itself around the dead limb
Shivering, I sobbed into my scarf
I watched father drag the tree away
Later he burned it as we watched TV
The flames flickered, cracking in the air
The bark burned to bits of dust
And I never felt colder in my life

Broken Records
01:54
|
|||
Based on a poem by poetic_dreamer.
Here I lay in time and pray
for colorful nightmares
and cry for grey dreams.
My sweet porcelain doll
is my own reflection
in the promise land.
we speak that one day
roses will die
passion will strive
and then will you know
your mind is frozen in time
from all said and done over time
those broken records
will leave you in a cycle
of all that is a lie

Child In Me
01:48
|
|||
Based on a poem by Siddiqua.
Tiptoeing silently,
delightfully, excitedly.
Knick knacks, marbles.
Cardboard and sparkles.
Kept in the safest place.
A smile comes to my face.
I begin to comprehend, to mystify.
That's when the child in me said goodbye.
