Bruise on the Wrist

Thus thy heart in silence, break
Embrace the tears we now forsake





One drop for lonliness

One drop for shame

One drop for the children

Writhing in pain





Tear out my tongue in mortal splendor
Embrace my tears that must end here





One drop for the broken

One drop for the dead

One drop for the voices

That live in my head





Silent witness to this ghastly crime
Embrace my tears in Satan's brine





One drop for the haunted

One drop for the damned

One drop for the shadows

Wandering this land





Thus thy heart in silence, break
Embrace the tears we now forsake...

Forbidden Fruit

Innocence is overrated

I'd rather know the darkness


Than face something I wasn't expecting






Why does everyone insist on purity?


I'd rather know

I'd rather expect it




I insist on knowledge



Wasn't that what the serpent said?







You'll know life and death









I want to know...

Heaven is a point at the bottom of the bottle
I blaze away the night's smoke
And pull open the door
Smooth my ruffled feathers
He's sitting at the bar in his arrogance
The Master of glass bottles and broken hearts
Deceptive solace
I clutch the smoke around me
It's a long flight and we must be off
Must be ready to shatter stars
A broken piano plays in the corner
My melody comes in broken bars
Like broken bottles
Shall we dance, m'lord?
My feathers caress his face
I'll smother his idle dreams of love
The angels he finds in heaven
Blue lips, red eyes
My feathers catch at his coat
And from his heart a pearl of light
Now begins the flight
I turn with his soul in my beak
My melody plays
I blaze away the night's smoke
And leave heaven in an upturned bottle









I joined the fire dept. here. It's awesome! We've had a lot of fires recently, too. 'Course, I can't do much yet cuz my training is a little less than zero lol. But! It's really neat. I've been to two trailer fires (yeah, house trailer), a factory alarm, and a car wreck. The wreck was the worst, they had to bring in a 'copter for one of the people. A pickup flipped over, quite a bit I guess, two people inside, crazy stuff. Crazy crazy...
