State vs. Joseph A. Macor
it seems to me that I strive for complications at every opportunity, I
cannot resist at all. so I beat on, "boats against the current, borne
back ceaselessly into the past." I never leaned a thing at all. but
to show I care I could cut a piece of my ear and send it to you Van Gogh
style, with that "deranged artist" smile. and I'll put it in a box and
wrap it with the finest paper and ribbons to make it beautiful, I hope
it freaks you out... at 90 miles an hour, another presence is felt.
wrapped in blurs is all that I feel. feeling the slight urge to unbuckle
my seatbelt. starving for the taste of the windshield. I know that
the summer wouldn't be so welcoming without the long cold nights spent
wrapped up in the hollow grasp of winter. If I could, then I would tell
you everything that I need off my chest. cuase its been wieghing too
heavily, and maybe if you'd see. the stars shine bright..as sharp as
knives. So maybe if they would cut me so deep. Then maybe I could bleed
you out of me. Its just sometimes it feels like breathing is
overrated. but I promise that I won't make this too dramatic for you. so I'll
stand by the side on the platform with my hand pressed against the
glass. and you'll stare straight forward like you don't notice me, you'll
make this moment last. as I lose my lead and the platform's ending, my
heart's against the tracks. I'll sit there helpless and watch you fade
from the station into my past.
I Don't Remember August This Cold
through early dew I drag my feet, thoughts of you and fallen hopes find
me once again. as sun sank I saw brightness fade from the sky and your
eyes or can't we just pretend? that your feelings did stay unchanged.
I'm trying to forget about you, but I hope you know it's funny that all
of the littlest things bring back the biggest memories. it's hopeless,
I know it. but I still dream of you. and I know you don't feel like I
do but it's so much easier to think with your heart when you... I
remember late night conversation choking on emotion meant for you. maybe
if I showed you exactly how it hurt - no, I know that it could never do.
no it never, could never do. ...when you watch the sun shine less
brightly as the summer goes by so slow. and hanging onto a kiss for two
months but though you still cant let go. I'm sorry I wasn't everything
you wanted, I'm sorry I couldn't be all you were to me.
Standing On Ocean and Sunset
I feel the breeze of midsummer night's air. these are the nights I
live for. with warm pavement beneath my back gazing to endless sky above.
reflecting on past relationships and years gone by. here I wonder why
though as I try I cant get you off of my mind. tonight is one star
away from perfect. one shine away from everything I've wanted. now every
time I close my eyes to sleep I'm dreaming the same dream. I lift my
head only to meet your eyes, only to feel I'm falling. and as I fall
through your eyes, feelings so true when I'm around you. I'm dreaming
through a perfect dream and knowing only that I'm falling for you. I
hope this song sings you to sleep every night so I'll be in your dreams,
and you know that's where I'll be happy. you probably don't even know
that all of this is about you. oblivious, don't the blood stains show
from a heart on my sleeve?
goodnight.
come and we'll watch the sun set on all my days of regret. only to see
if I'll get through tonight. oh, this life that i know, would you
please not let me go. you know I'd be lost without you. the best days of my
life are wearing thin. I know that I'll be lost when I lose sight of
them. its sad to see that all my years here will only be a memory. its
sad to see that all my dreams here will be lost in this memory. I could
not live with myself if I had nothing to tell of all these years that I
have lived so long. so I'll take back this regret with the only chance
that I get. I know I'll miss them too much when they're gone. as we
watch these seasons changing into years passed on, all we'll have are
these memories and then this life will have to go on. its sad to see that
all my years here will only be a memory. its sad to see that all my
dreams here will be lost in this memory. will be lost in this memory
tonight. goodnight.
