Steven Chainsaw

take these words to heart
please hear me out
please think it through
i want to make this crystal-
clearly it resonates (like a gunshot)
please listen to my case
before you cast your verdict

sticks and stones may break my bones
but your words they still haunt me

take this time to think
a reaction to an action
forged from a scar
hidden from view (close your eyes)
behind empty bottles
time to pay our tab
its last call with no place to go

Double Bed Vacancy

Dreams don't come easily when they have all come true the night before.
your eyes sparkled my reflection and never looked so blue.
They haunt me now as my words surely haunt you.
The vacancy in this double bed is so blatant and disapointing.
Clinging to a pillow in your absence searching for something to fill this void.
Our hands never fit so well, our bodies intertwined.
does your pillow still bare my scent? does it comfort you or scare you?
Did you awake saturday morning feeling alone?
I'd travel that highway a million times to get to you.
I'll face these demons on my own
in hopes that we will stand tall side by side, reunited at last.

Reunion

this time it's different
I'm not fucking around
we've done this routine
2 times too many they say.
let's put the talk to sleep
and save this night for ourselves.

Something so natural
comes at a cost these days
waking up to reality, better than dreams
i wouldn't trade this for the world
hearts beating faster
chests rising in sync
it fits like a glove
that you dont want to wear.

we'll ride this out
wait for the sun
fearing the morning
with each passing breath.

i've got all the time in the world
as long as it's spent with you.
let's put these rumors to sleep
and spend this night together
