Yola
You know what it means,
to live alone,
habits harden into screams,
so cool I burn with rage,
not just merely to atone,
given time to congugate,
pass journeys into dreams,
find explode on their own,
look at where I've been,
hold to make life great,
sound like a bugle horn,
semand things in my wake,
adjust saying don't heed,
all the things I’ve wrung,
remain perfectly at ease,
bask in new found fame,
he lifts me body and soul,
my turn now to say,
unwrap all my schemes,
can still hear him groan,
am your new queen,
pick up that stone.

Is this really the place,
to ask the demons why,
my lover's down the drain,
a haze of loss so callow,
he beats out his time,
has nowhere else to go,
I soak my island gains,
choose to ignore his cry,
sip daquari's again,
what he needs to know,
does not disturb my sky,
how he finds the show,
when I jumped bail,
no walls left to climb
he wouldn't let me fail,
his gaze simply follows,
how he lost love's tie,
witness a gentle furrow,
no easy way to fake,
what hurts him deep inside,
such a pitch i make,
eyes open wide.

Don't say get a grip,
when I fail down again,
anyone can have a slip,
I need payers to pray,
smooth talk my playmate,
any quest to get away,
losers have surly lips,
am manacled to this game,
I take a coin and flip,
you'll see how I sway,
at 49 different raves,
credit on all my slates,
loans make your eyes dip,
into consumptive flames,
give me another nip,
won’t know how I flay,
unkept spirit's shame,
hope for an act of faith,
if I'll make this trip,
hear the wind scream,
lashed to a coffin ship,
it's my father's name ?

My eyes try to fix a place,
where we just carry on,
and no one feels unsafe,
who cares about the bones,
arranged like Babylon,
hung above the river zones,
when he sees my face,
running lines of alcohol,
makes it all sudden plain,
a time to stay alone,
a wolf howl at the moon,
don't want him around,
maybe I'll take a train,
find someone else to love,
glide across the lake,
who knows how it’ll go,
a slew of broken bonds,
laid heavy as stone,
how do you kindle flame,
with eyes to face beyond,
can we ever really say,
where we come from?

Do you think when beat,
perhaps with a common air,
you can rescue everything,
if love’s the game,
it's so hard to share,
even with my good name,
forget depths of need,
friends saying take care,
who needs sympathy,
getting out’s the same,
never short of being square,
stuck in some slow lane,
understand how to keep,
a wooden face on stairs,
bars are my sole conceit,
anyone I can tame,
watches me dance on chairs,
maybe use ankle chains,
does anyone want to see,
my freshly washed hair,
eyes lit like kerosene,
my soul laid bare?

Is this how we imitate,
our inventive best,
by crashin on our brakes,
batter open every door,
destroy our defences,
bend over backward,
fuelled by what we take,
like all the rest,
our bodies twist and shake,
fools line up to applaud,
think we've passed the test,
does two and two make four,
if the night's cool probate,
scatters across our senses,
we count what we make,
eye the drunken poor,
forgive their presence,
join them on the floor,
search and dance out pain,
it's a task that's blended,
won’t chase these away,
our new friends.

You'll pay a heavy score,
my face is savage blue,
love comes swollen raw,
no sense of ease,
always stuck in your Queue,
never would say please,
games divined by whores,
sitting here in gloom,
listening for your footfall,
bad enough this street,
to dance on good news,
hear only loose screams,
why hack at lonely chores,
turned my life wishing you,
sweat in furious pause,
when you rage and bleat,
you never were my glue,
begging at some retreat,
am already over you.
