here is a singer
with a new smoking habit of 5-6 years,
a lover of everything
dreamer for days
hater for many more

to say you are a singer
and to say that you have passion to love
to say that all you think about is everything
and everything is nothing once the day is done
a song for every mood
new jobs to fit new suits
a love, a life, maybe a love life too

few thoughts about how to make something
something from something incoherent
fewer ways to grab what's coming
and make it bend your way

i sit here smoking
wondering about singing
still sitting, wondering more about love
if it would have made life worthier of living
and give me something to sing about

love doesn't hurt

when you were away
i thought things would change
change- alright

when you were away
i knew things would change
because it had to happen

we were the way we were
because you were going
and not gone

when you were away
i thought i would change
i would be this amazing dame
..somewhere i am sure i even wore a wig

nothing quite changed
not for the best at least

and now there is this need
this incessant need to simplify
this never ending greed to express
but i can't run after these thoughts

lukewarm

it was lukewarm at it's best
