Elena

Don't break holy orders, lay claim to the others, all the stuff you swore, free to bestow, the love of your mother, a place without hope, can't you see the shore, like an iron soldier, welded to useless mores, whoever comes up short, you'll curse and blather, fix them with the law, explode without show, a life stripped of lovers, who dance on the blow, no good deed ever taught, makes you take cover, you ignore that call, a life without borders, always in trouble, life with you is raw, I'll love you forever.

Mel

I throw away the years, every life is dust, the laughs and happy tears, no one wears a crown, for those you never trust, along these Ocean towns, I arrive like the deer, with a smell of musk, withstand all their leers, hidebound, spinning pennies in the dust, I always hold my ground, what brings me here, shielding from their lust, a woman crystal clear, no matter what the harm, except the fact she's bust, but never down, blow flames across my fears, share bad jokes and butts, pray for those who disappear, somehow I’m a must.

Frederika

My lover asks, were you even born, you say nothing lasts, are these your ghosts, the dreams you’ve torn, that won't leave you alone, I adjust my mask, stroll down the lawn, I heed no troubled past, don't throw stones, at what I’ve known, if it stops me growing, I like our chit chats, not fool enough to pawn, a ticket like that, with love in my bones, I’ll create a storm, everyone needs a home, my key’s on the mat, don’t look forlorn, I don't do aghast, or roll up in sorrow

Stephen

Let me engage, your tattooed feet in dance, rooms glow in dark spaces, I know what to do, wait for kindness to land, try to make life smooth, there’s nothing in this game, rides on pure chance, when you pull away, you’re great at slow moves, a thief of lonely repast don't let them get to you, my life is framed, your face is tanned, gliding down the freeway, tell me sink a few, pull over make a stance, there’s only one of you, twirl me 'round again, throw me off balance, say what you have to say, I need another chance.

Steve

Since I've been at home, who knows what to do, they let me stay alone, sleep any time of day, watch me walk the avenue, nothing more to say, like breaking up a stone, ask what’s wrong with you, why can’t you conform, the walls are turning grey, the bedroom’s singing blues, I’ve eaten all my cake, say I have to go, always play the fool, act like it’s my totem, confined within this space, there’s only one truth, pure as a snowflake, sing and love your bones, they’ll dance by too soon, who cares who atones, always pay your dues.

Hesta

I scatter all your needs, like ashes on the bar, nothing is so easy, blow away your pay, then fly afar, laugh at the terrible waste, a shrimp in the sea, a shipwreck in a bottle, you won't set me free, it's a different age, even if you drive a car, I still can’t wait, what about my needs, that warm hazy fog, a path to childhood dreams, I sing to the waves, all the stuff you're not, a pearl amongst the wreckage, drink is bad for me, songs leave too many scars, my face has turned pink, what’s going on?

Johnny

Standing by an unlit lamp, a tree, a bridge, shaking, looking like a tramp, I listen to the news, someone else to hate, other cuds to chew, better take a chance, if we play this game, we could go to France, hoping we’re not askew, wondering what's to gain, whatever else we do, all this talk of paths, they’ll scatter our remains, whenever there’s a chance, someone will bring a can, shout hooya what a day, drink before we’re asked, cigarettes and laughs, beer drunk like champagne, life here's a dance, we’ll kill it anyway.
