Nobody can cause her voice. Hang me out the window. From the cieling. The Sirens offer me a free way, in the Pine Barrens. Keep me in another state. My own love. Tell me where you are going. Give all you got, after I have. I hear Sirens. "Better be honest. We make up the stories, to keep you all focused." You do not know anyone. Never really get to. My own love. "You left the world today, you have to feel them all." I don't know what to feel. Only know your reaction. It was that bird I took down, just to learn your intentions. I know you hear my thoughts. I know you are all acting. But you limit it to what I show. So the learning was paying less. Embers, mixing with dirt. and mixing with worms, and sow seeds. Embers, mix with the fire, mixing the sky, and blow seas.

I sit alone in my room, and I play air guitar with a broom. I wait by the phone, because I just called your home, and want something to do. It is only the nights that I wait for the morning to come. I walk to the beach, just to watch and acknowledge the rising sun. I wish I was beneath the waves. Rest alone in summer stay. I think I am happy, but nobody likes me. I sit alone in my room, and I play air guitar with a broom. I wait by the phone, because I just called your home, and want something to do. It is only the nights that I wait for the morning to come. I walk to the beach, just to watch and acknowledge the rising sun, but then it is gone.

What is the sound now? A sparrow on the horn, approaching on the horn. The marrow of the Moon. Drills encircle, and gather up the corn. The only place it is found, the sparrow at the Moon. Never trust the old people that you know, or anyone you love. Whenever you go, I am spinning really slow, until I am going to find you. How many months now have gone, and you won't say? The Earth is far away, and the branches might back up. You are never captured. Nothing to hang up. Nothing to look upon. Nothing to hold on. The worst has come and come, to see how far along, the sparrow ate the Moon. Whenever you make a center to revolve, hey, I am going to love to. Follow the full, until I really wake up. I really want to. A place to howl. You are going to love to.

Remember what you said. Remember what I am waiting for. Never was too sturdy, so I take hold of the floor, of the floor. Remember what we did? Remember how it started? A sudden flash I got in heart, much more I never wanted. Let it start again. Won't let it stop me. Won't let it stop me. Won't let it stop me. These words arise from thought. The thought comes from the feeling. The feeling only exists from the words I imagined her speaking. Can you say something? Everything I wanted, as nothing that I got. Everything I hoped for, as everything I am not. Does it make a difference? A serenade for burning. A moment for my feeling, her ligaments for turning. Does not stop this consciousness. Or validate this emptiness. An ordinary name, I guess I am built to be an ordinary reaction tumor. Any ordinate reaction tumor. Let it start again.

I can see in the lightning bug's haze. I can see in the part of our brains, we forget that we have. It makes me wonder if electricity connects to nothing. And electricity connects to something. I am moving towards the only person walking down the street. She has got the only face that you are ever going to meet. Black and white. Passerby. Passerby in the night. And electricity connects to nothing. And electricity connects to something. Sparks fly by, in the sky, tonight. Sparks fly by, in the sky, tonight. She is only going forward. It is not what I was taught. I am only getting older, and it is nothing but my own fault.

How many ways can I say it? After you say it is not going to work? Is all the effort I have put into it, become heavier than what it is worth? Go if you want to, go if you want to. Make it the hardest. There is nothing I could do for us. Not sorry for what I did, but I am sorry for what I said. Keeping you naive to it. Feeding lions to your head "It was so easy." Go if you want to. Make it the hardest. There is nothing I could do for us. Make it the hardest. There is nothing I could do for us.

We will have a time in the Sun. Feel the warmth, feel the glow, and then it is done. We will have a time in the Sun. Feel the warmth, the glow, and then it is done. I will die when I am ready. I think it is right now. Take me out, when I am twenty. If you ever want to see me around, you could. We will have a time in the Sun. Make my friends say goodbye to everyone. I will die when I am ready. I think it is right now. Take me out, when I am twenty. If you ever want to see me around, you could.
