HOPE
Give Me What You've Got
Your tongue is a flower wrapped around a root Your voice is the power generating truth
Lungs throat teeth Tongue mouth meat
Take my arms tear me apart Suck the rhythm from my heart
Take my hand, do it again Throw my body on the ground and give me what you've got
My tongue is a cancer rotting in the root My voice is the answer negating truth
Lungs throat teeth Tongue mouth meat
The meaningless sound The soft surface The deathless drowning The hollow purpose
Take my flesh Don't let me forget Smear my body in your sex
Take my mind Bore me blind Drain the fluid from my spine
Take my arms tear me apart Suck the rhythm from my heart
Take my hand, do it again Throw my body on the ground and give me what you've got
​
I Touch Myself
I love myself I want you to love me When I'm feeling down I want you above me
I search myself I want you to find me I forget myself I want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else When I think about you I touch myself I don't want anybody else Oh no oh no
You're the one who makes me come honey You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing I want to make you mine
I close my eyes and see you before me Think I'd die if you were to ignore me
A fool could see just how much I adore you I get down on my knees I'd do anything for you
I don't want anybody else When I think about you I touch myself I don't want anybody else Oh no oh no
I don't want anybody else When I think about you I touch myself
​
Song for My Body
Your eyes are black and your body is open Your spine is pulsing in shallow liquid strokes
Your flesh has borrowed its meaning from God A silent syntax hidden inside omnipresence
Your blood is black and your mind is closing My heartbeat is slackening in the hypnosis of your slowing breathing
Your sex has stolen its meaning from death It's your secret coded omnivorous dance
Your bones bend back and your voice is escaping The words rattle up in automatic heaves
Your death has learned its uselessness through time A private futility defeated and anonymous
Your secret death
​
Show Forgiveness
Take the thing that you love Lock it in stone Let it sink into the deep dead sea Turn around Forget its name
Look at the ground Conceal your thoughts Your wounds can be used as weapons
You could feel love You could show forgiveness
Look into my eyes Tell me your thoughts I will use your wounds as weapons against you
If I'm the one that you love Lock me in stone Let me sink into the deep dead sea Turn around Forget my name
You could feel love You could show forgiveness
​
Defeated
I'll create a wound You'll keep it open Stay on the ground Stay where you are
I'll create a sound You'll keep it in your mind Stay where you fall Stay where you are
​
Immortality
You'll never die
​
Peace
In the city at night The sky never loses light Labyrinthine streets Endlessly searching for peace
You are alive Thoughts unclotting You won't die Love unrotting
Sadness flares into hope
Hope

Heaven
