Heart Clicked

What if I clicked the heart

Under all your words at once

Would that be creepy - too abrupt

Would that be wrong of me 

And then what if I read 

Every poem that you wrote

Just like swallowing you whole

Now you’re part of me?

Meanwhile - What if I dreamt

And thought about you - I can’t quit 

More than I’d ever admit 

Would you run from me 

Oh and - What if your laugh

Sounds like music to my ears

Away go all my darkest fears

Like a song to me 

What if , What if your smile 

Yes Your twinkling, winking gaze 

Sets my whole damn heart ablaze 

Just so hopelessly 

Tell me - what if your heart 

Is filled with me as I with you 

Well I may want to hear the truth 

Is that wrong of me 

Nourished

Each word I ate

Like the peace and quiet 

you were waiting for

Every phrase 

though not all peaceful 

delicious 

exquisite

Every line another taste

My growling heart 

satisfied

With each bite

I come alive

Each letter

A feather

One more 

for my wings

Clinging to the earth

I long for the sky

Now charged fully

My mind soars high

Then after flight

I must come down

If not I drift away

( I am not a bird )

The ‘something more’

They all want from you

I do not need

You see

Your warmth from afar

Is enough for me

( When you’re too close I get hot )

Only a fool would attempt

To catch the sunlight in their hands

It is enough for me

To bask in your rays

My leaves

nourished by your smile

My flowers 

blooming in your gaze

The moon of course

Is not within reach

Not always glowing fully

But each night its there

And smiling I’m aware

A cloud may pass over

It may travel far away

It is not gone for good

It will stay

It shines on another

Half way around

I still smile

Heart in flight

Feet on the ground

Yes the moon is hers

But it is mine also

It is mine also

Nostalgia

 Nostalgia…

Clinging to my heels

Telling me the best is left behind

Nostalgia,

You’re beautiful but still

You’re wasting precious time

Farewell, you gorgeous cage 

… Today’s the good old days 

Butterflies

 D d7 am g

No I don't believe in forever

Time has never been so kind

I lost my faith in fairy tales 

And I could never call you mine

Em g d a

So flutter soft, sweet butterfly

I won't let this memory die 

Bm g d a 

Soon enough

This will all just be a memory

Time carries us like tidal waves

Pulling out to sea

Em g d a

Hold onto me, Hold onto me

Bm g d a 

Soon enough

This will all just be a memory

I'll treasure you

So treasure me

Em g

Hold onto me

Hold onto me

D d7 am g

I see you now

Eyes open wide

I'll travel back 

And visit often in my mind

Forever’s far too much to ask

And we can only love today 

So flutter gentle butterfly

Until you fly away

Em g d a

I treasure this

Your arms 

Your kiss...

Bm g d a 

Soon enough

This will all just be a memory

Time carries us like tidal waves

Pulling out to sea

Em g d a

Hold onto me, Hold onto me

Bm g d a 

Soon enough

This will all just be a memory

I'll treasure you

So treasure me

Em g d a

And hold onto me

Hold onto me

In our perfect memory 

Bm g d a 

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

Em, Bm, D, A

Time - Keeps - Pulling me under

And dragging me away

I wish I could take you with me

But it's - Just - Taking you farther 

And I wish you could stay

But that's not how it works 

Yeah it hurts so bad

Bm G D A

Cuz someday this will all just be a memory

Pretty soon this will all just be a memory 

(Music Break)

Bm G D A x2

(Repeat Chorus)

Bm G D A

In our perfect memory

Our perfect memory

Em G D A

Your fingertips like butterflies

This memory never dies

Em g d a

Your finger tips like butterflies

This memory never dies

Pins and needles

Running down my sides

Showers of memories

Pouring from my eyes

Set them all aside

Through merciless ringing 

Breathe until sunrise

A million knives stinging 

My Insides

I'm smiling cuz I know that

I'm alive

Stranger

Last night technology 

Got the best of me

Face glued to a screen 

In the evening 

Looking for love 

Eyes bleeding 

I pause I fight to breathe

Thick fog of fantasies  

A history 

Just like a dream

Birds flock together 

I watch them fly away 

They find their way 

Eventually  

Birds flock together

I’d like to do the same

Cuz this place can feel 

So strange 

Like it or not 

I call you a savior 

Before your love 

I was but

A Stranger  

On an alien planet

Far - Far from home 

Stranger on An alien planet 

But not alone 

Swept away 

On a river of metal and glass

Try to relax 

Because I’m not turning back 

Tried to make sense of 

The turbulence 

Lost my innocence 

Searching for decadence 

But you were heaven sent you were heaven sent 

Crowded with energies 

Born into a mystery 

Always puzzled me 

But here I am 

In a strange land 

Crowded with energies 

technologies 

A quick fix  

On demand 

I found my dopamine in a glowing screen 

Looked for approval in your eyes 

I worked both night and day

I slaved away

I took my medicine 

And I slept through days 

Do they know 

What’s good for us

Do we know 

How to stand up

Where nothing seems to make sense to me 

The laws of Man I don’t understand

Spinning in a river of glass

Metal and rubber 

Chariots that rage flying past 

Paths of light in the darkness 

Spinning in the glow of a screen 

Searching for my dopamine 

I know it must all

Have some kind of meaning 

But sometimes 

I feel like a stranger 

On an alien planet

I’m a stranger

And I’m far from home 

Stranger on an alien planet 

I’m stranger but I’m not alone 

Went searching for a tribe

Just to stay alive 

Part of me is strong 

Part of me is wise 

But part of me falls head over heels

Just looking in your eyes 

IM SO OVER IT

OVER IT

Pink waffles on a sunny day

Pink flowers in my shoes today

cheeks rosy cuz you smiled at me

I didn’t even hear a word you said 

Lily Jane’s become a cyborg

Bit into an apple 

And lost her way 

All her friends

Are turning into cyborgs

Recording every moment while they play

They couldn’t live without the gadget

The dopamine addictive

They couldn’t fathom a life without them

Morning til night

It never ends

Little Thomas Jone’s become a cyborg 

Information seeps into the system 

Information sold into a bigger mind

How much do we give them

I’m ready to live a better life

They stress you out

And then they feed you substances

They wear you out 

And then they ban the medicine 

I was dumb and I fucked up some 

I was young and I fucked up some 

Tell me does that make me 

A bad person 

I had fun but I was so dumb 

Give me a loving ruler

Give me a leader Not a lizard

Give me a human

And not a beast

Give me a leader

Give me a leader
