tree swinging
riding high above the branches
flying through the air
the pits swelling below
you will never catch me
off i go

[manillascissor]

[manillascissor]

it feels so unreal
the people that are around
spirits floating in and out of my day
mostly muted and on repeat
but everpresent they are
and oh so many opinions
never anything worth digestion
where did the real go
what has ever been
can always be no more
lest we forget
but i choose to ignore

[manillascissor]

let me whisper in your ear
just one more time
let me whisper in your ear
just one more line

we traveled so long ago
the memories are fading fast
across the many fields
life holds so much to feel

let me whisper in your ear
just one more time
let me whisper in your ear
just one last line

[manillascissor]

I received number 879, not number 1 – oh well 879 will have to do! [/quote:pn5seols]

good to hear.

[manillascissor]

disconnected, i am not really here
my soul is nowhere to be found
completely bursting with emptiness
sitting on the doorstep of a raw era

tired, fed up with you
you do not begin to understand
the depth of my shallowness
the sheer pressure with which i crush

fragile, this will only last for so long
and then reality will set in
a sincere pretentiousness on display
front window fifty percent off

alone, come over here with me
come walk with me down this gravel road
an endless path that never begins
it’s all downhill from here on out

hold my fucking hand
and put on your boots
i dare you to walk with me

[manillascissor]

i got one like that.

What do you call Pat Robertson on Sunday?

[manillascissor]

lol

[manillascissor]

such a big block with a dull finish
setting up high on my work table
inhaling through the nose to stay warm
i get out my chisel and start to chip away
forming the smile i remember
i begin to break her down
the perfect corners
the perfect radiance
it’s only by see through water
and that smile only lasts for so long
because it’s getting warmer
and her eye sheds a single tear
that drops to the snow covered ground
liquid sadness from an icy beauty
alone in silence she melted away

[manillascissor]

flash click as he settled in
whiskers not even trimmed
eyes blinking, lashes growing
lord knows he loves his kin

mother dearest is holding the youngest
and pa is standing in the back
two little twins hold hands in the front
and stare until the bulb crash

sepia snapshot and afterthoughts
memories contained therein
they say a photo is worth many words
who knew time could freeze once again[/quote:20jp1pge]

nice one![/quote:20jp1pge]

thanks rose! how have you been. long time since we chatted.

[manillascissor]

head in my hands
it’s hard to write
traveled lands
we’re in for a night
drink it up
and start a fight
suck it up
a cry for my plight
down on yourself
come here go away
moons assemble
that’s totally insane
never together forever
twice removed spitfire
wonderment never again
purple on black
the blood moves within
bruised but not born
a woman unscorned
let the leash break
again to hide the bone
beneath the dirt
is where i’ll be
chipping away
come find me

[manillascissor]

i’m glad for this little bit of news. makes me not focus so much on tbk and give more time for the songs to surface.

i was getting a little impatient recently.

[manillascissor]

march! you dare i say
one two three four
endless steps in time
feet hitting the floor

this pace keenly kept
like it or not, keep your stride
together we’ll go on
quarter notes that tear away time

but alone she sidestepped
and fell out of bounds
and lost the beat forever
now nothing surrounds

and just ahead, a bridge
as troops stomp on by
it will never hold the weight
still they push, as if to die

tears flow down her twisted face
as the floorboards give way
down they fall to the river below
like tears she cried that day

[manillascissor]

sober i don’t want you
sober i don’t need you
sober i am fine
drink up

[manillascissor]

the sound continues to drown
raining down the great escape
the swirly exit sign
swinging back and forth from the loft
don’t scream fire in a crowded theater
you may hurt someone
but then again
you may get out
of watching this shit movie

fire fire rush to the door
climbing atop the others
women and children first
chivalry above the others
and even now you know it ain’t real
and break through the white canvas
the screaming pictures in technicolor
bleed to the floor in rainbowed water
staining the palms in purple eternity

the doorhandle is red and blue
as the tape reel spins off the loom

[manillascissor]

you cut me open with shiny scissors
and i bleed to this day
giving my tears and midnight cries
for the day you say enough
and completely drain my soul
and breathe back into me
a spirit so rich and divine
i will float from this earth
leaving everything
everyone
behind

[manillascissor]

lipsmacking and opinions
food flying across the table
googly eyed with hair pulled back
never trimmed in forty years

a beautiful woman til the end
caring for others before oneself
always had my towel
and it was always dry

and i hope you know i loved you
and i hope you know your son still does
even though it feels removed
you were always moving

see you on the other side

[manillascissor]

flash click as he settled in
whiskers not even trimmed
eyes blinking, lashes growing
lord knows he loves his kin

mother dearest is holding the youngest
and pa is standing in the back
two little twins hold hands in the front
and stare until the bulb crash

sepia snapshot and afterthoughts
memories contained therein
they say a photo is worth many words

After all these years I finally splashed out and purchased the Pisces Iscariot Vinyl with bonus 7" for $163.00 delivered, pretty good price I thought.

White Stripes on Conan, last song. This is fucking epic.

[manillascissor]

a little staring contest
where i cannot help
but blink
close my eyes again
and open to see
you still staring at me?
