Shadow Bear

Dreaming

Desperidicio de papel

Counted the clocks
Burned all my sheets
With nothing to sleep under
No clothes and no creams
I’ll be cold as the blood dark sky
The atmosphere's poured
Into my bedroom
Barbeque grill
And a car engine boom
Not new, but fresh
Not new, but young
Familiar sound,
But quite foreign tongue
Who is the ghost that creeps under my skin?
What am I, pray tell?
And why
Would
You
Want
To be
My friend?
Playing in hurricanes
Running through sandstorms
To reach my own demise
Because the rest, they’re having their good times
But these are the sidelines,
Smelly backcountry
Where the clocks never cease ticking
And the sheets are torn up
Medicine’s in and it’s kicking
And I’m smothered by clothes
It’s so hot, like the sun’s burning down
Then it gets dark?
Hey, where’s the sun?

Eczema:

incurable.

Rip
skin
and
break
nails.


I could live for the night.

Children of the moon

Art thou?

Your smell's here, but you're not
These covers cover nothing
I won't sleep under them tonight

C'est un jour que peux changer tout le choses.

Inside, a vast emptiness
Empty road to the heart

No bricks flying here,
but the birds are still dying
Chirp chirp?

Road to Rome, far from the coast
Middle of nowhere,
Ah! Ghosts...
Clean under my cuticles, uncrust stale bread
Garbage can in which you spit, not the place to eat.

Tell me a story

Julia, how did you stray so far
From the way you were at the start
Before you left home
To be on the road
To find a place
To call
Your own

Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
BANG BANG BANG

Cold feet! Cold fingers!
Our genes have fenced off our warmth.
You're fragile, sister,
To all that's around you,
But you're viscious enough to chase me away
Sometimes

Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
BANG BANG BANG

You've always been beautiful to me
For years, I watched you evolve
Your slender, long, gentle hands
Caressed my newly roughened skin
And lead me though parks and neighborhoods
Up to these growing pains

Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
Puhm puhm puhruhruhm
BANG BANG BANG

There was that one day
When I witnessed your fall
And I wiped your snot from your nose
With my own hands
Then I played you that song
And you told me
"Sister, I'm sorry, I've never had to do this before."

Okay

I can't wait 'til we're married
bound not by god, but by our hearts.
