Just Keep Breathing

Hee-hoooo, hee-hoooo,
Hee-hoooo, hee-hoooo...

Blue blood coursing, red blood flowing
Keeping me steady, keeping me ready
Breast swelling with O2, dispelling CO2,
Maintaining my wits in the miry pits.

Hee-hoooo, hee-hoooo,
Hee-hoooo, hee-hoooo,

You turn the hee-hoooo into a quick cue,
You make my heart still then suddenly trill.
What can I make of what you leave in your wake-
Masking life's hums with cymbals and drums?

Rat-a-tat, tricka rat-a-tat, ping-ping
Rat-a-tat, tricka rat-a-tat, ping-ping

A lash of your tongue
And my hands are rung
The same song and dance
Not another chance...

The world spins around,
No sky nor firm ground,
And my courage is spent...
Don't know where it went.

2X
Hee-hee, hee-hee
Hee-hee, hee-hee

Look at me getting undone
I can't seem to shake this one

Tribute to the Slam

I push and pull, push and pull, push and pull.

And you try to stay still, and you try just to chill;
But I try to let go and I try not to show
That my iron resolve just begins to dissolve
'Cause your touch makes me weak as a flat-lining beat.

BLEEP... Bleep... bleep...

And you and they, you and she, you and I

Move along with great care, most of us unaware
Of the way that we cope: choking on hangman's rope.
Though we all suffocate, not a one so irate
As to flail and to fight her way back to the light.

CREAK... Creak... creak...

We swing and sway, swing and sway, swing and sway.

While my innards do churn, it's for you that I burn,
For the mess of my life that would come from this knife.
Just contact with that pout, you'd gift me my way out,
You would set me ablaze with your hellish heat rays.

pop... Pop... POP!

Will You Save Me... If I save you?

Sorrowful swindles swim whispering winds.
Desire's alight in my quivering gaze.
Your eyes, your smile, your raspy voice-
Each a treacherous labyrinth too great to discern.

Fingertips trail titillating circuits of wondrous despair.
Eyelashes blast crippling rounds with shocking aplomb.
A gasp, a moan, a sigh, a scream: melodious ecstasy
As I squirm my response to your fervent touch.

If you grasp my hand you take from me my languid vacillation.
Do what you will to destroy my straining autonomous streaks.
I exist with neither a care in the world nor a will of my own,
Save to kiss away the tears glistening your delicate cheeks.

Regression

Maybe if the waves crash hard enough against my chest
Maybe if the lashes purge me of adulteration
Maybe if the tears combat the sting of every smack and every ring
I'll find my way back to the girl you loved.
