The Girl With Blue Hair
03:23

That’s my reoccurring dream
It’s an endless nightmare
A gothic Myspace beauty queen
I’ve got jpegs somewhere
I regret I’m at a loss
All this effort wasted
She’s preserved in semigloss
I’m annihilated
You got my number
But you never text it
It’s almost summer
Time we just forget it
Some obsession with the past
I can’t quite remember
Messages behind the glass
But who is the sender?
My anxiety’s unclear
About the girl with blue hair
You’re my reoccurring dream
It’s an endless nightmare

IRL
03:45

It took months to meet IRL
You were sitting in the dark, beautiful
Not even looking for me, is that cynical?
You flashed a smile and looked away, is that typical?
Am I just a page from your social media?
Is this just a stage of technophrenia?
A textrovert without her thumbs becomes less a comedienne
Have expectations come undone from social tedium?
There will be no you and me, I can tell
No messages to read speak or spell
No room for hope in Heartbreak Hotel

Disinclination
02:54
|
|||
|
Disinclination, resistance to connect
I hope you’re happy
I hope you choke on it
The perfect set up
that’s what you saw in me
A momentary curiosity
Your words are just vibrations
They’re noises inside my head
And it’s the worst translation
Of everything you said
Riddles of meaning
With layers of significance
Confused and irrelevant dreaming
With cognitive dissonance
Suspect evasion, cautiously walking it back
A vague presumption
Of getting back on track
Your words are just vibrations
They’re noises inside my head
And it’s the worst translation
Of everything you said

Now Or Never
03:54

You’re so busy
Going nowhere
You should miss me
We were going somewhere
Are you afraid of
Being someplace
Slow it down
We could meet face to face
Now or never
Eye to eye
You’re the weather
I’m the sky
Now or never
Is this real?
Or whatever
What should I feel?
I’ve got questions
About your life
But I only want to
Hear your voice
Your words of caring
Sound so cruel
When you’re not intending
To follow through
I saw you randomly today
And thought about it later
You looked the other way
And went up the elevator

A game was planned
But never played
Underhand
And delayed
What matters now
Differently
The final hour
Of you and me
Wheels are meant to roll away
Boxes hold things we want to stay
Windows show us what it’s all about
Doors are what we close to keep it out
With no intent
To deceive
I was led
To believe
What appears
To be true
My greatest fears
About you
Wheels are meant to roll away
Boxes hold things we want to stay
Windows show us what it’s all about
Doors are what we close to keep it out

Unfinished Business
02:48
|
|||
|
Returning to the scene of the crime
The ringing of the midnight chime
What brought me back
A mental photograph
Unfinished business
I’m my own witness
Faulty memory
Nostalgic misery
That one embrace I made in case
It was the end when it began
You gave fair warning
And now it’s dawning
Unfinished business
I’m my own witness
Faulty memory
Nostalgic misery

Neither of us bought the ticket
Everything left up in the air
Both of us made excuses
But only one of us was scared
It’s always too late when the words are spoken
I always wait ‘til the heart is broken
I’m always hoping I’ll see you around
When I do I get lost in the crowd
I cannot say that I was clueless
I cannot say you were unfair
I can’t deny my expectations
When I finally saw you there
It’s always too late when the words are spoken
I always wait ‘til the heart is broken
I’m always hoping I’ll see you around
When I do I get lost in the crowd

Another Year
03:56
|
|||
|
If it’s good you’re understood
The least meaningful of gestures are not overlooked
Another year that’s only clear
When viewed from the perspective of a rear view mirror
Carrying the weight of it
The fate of it is in peril
The verso image reappears
Behind the mask she is sterile
In childhood or Hollywood
Some sorcery reassures it’s meant to be
If I knew then what I know now
I’m sure I’d make the same mistakes anyhow
Coincidences indicate
We fabricate the connections
Circumstantial evidence
Meets providence in reflection
Messages I analyzed
Synthesized and dismembered
Mismatched pieces compromise
Destabilize what I remember

Broad Street After Dark
03:32
|
|||
|
Was the cost much too dear
Was it trust was it fear
Second guessing makes it worse
I’m still restless with that curse
There’s nowhere to go
Broad Street in the snow
Only you walking in
Looking down and within
Was your smile only your nerves
Talk in circles speak in curves
There’s no place to park
Broad Street after dark
