"Gotham News"
When we arrived in your father's car/
Two torches burning in the night/
You feared the feeling would wear off/
But you knew we'd come this far/
Half was me and half was you/
Coalescing just to slide/
The figures solid in our minds/
We'll make the Gotham News tonight/
I came to you in the TV light/
A mirror covered with a cross/
You thought that something had gone wrong/
But I knew something had gone right/
I came to you without a thought/
Besides the burning in your eyes/
You thought that something had gone wrong/
But I knew something had gone right/
You must choose (they said)/
And I have chosen you/
You thought that something had gone wrong/
But I knew something had gone right.
"Windfall"
Could you try
With all your honesty
To make a change
To the way you hear my name
It was my mistake
To sleep until I wake
Right next to your face
And think I could embrace
A crush I only knew
Through photographs in blue
But didn't we have fun
The summer we were young
The rain would never come
The rain would never come
Could you try
With all pure honesty
To hold me like
Someone who loves
You showed me a bridge
We walked it with courage
And found ourselves alone
No words, just sweat and stone
The rain would never come
The movements of your tongue
And every time I tried to look away
The corner of my eye was there to stay.
"No Comment" Attention span is short.
The office light won't keep you warm.
Infinite pages stored.
Formative stages start with porn.
Mind over chemicals.
All lifeless objects rule the world.
I can't read anymore
The internet we call our home.
You cannot trust anyone.
Not even cyberheros.
You must watch everyone.
Especially cyberheros.
This in formation.
Is pushing saturation.
What's fact or fiction?
We can quell our addiction.
Dilettantism is
Replacing concentration.
We're dumbass slacker kids.
Just shut the fucking thing and talk.
You cannot trust anyone.
Not even cyberheros.
You must watch everyone.
Especially cyberheros.
"Mesomorph"
Big kids like a little victim.
Makes them feel like they've been gifted.
Don't tell mommy, don't tell teacher.
Stand up for yourself and beat them.
I used to get thrown around
By a mesomorph.
Haunted me all over town.
Fuckin mesomporph.
You could just sit back and let them
Take shots at you like a rabbit.
Has it ever crossed your mind
That you can make it all just right?
I used to get thrown around
By a mesomorph.
Haunted me all over town.
Fuckin mesomorph.
And the tears stinging your eyes.
With each breath surely will dry.
Ruddy cheeks lose their surprise.
At the fear you felt inside.

I second, third & fourth these notions. I recently came across your talents - wondrously unique & intriguing. "Roses" has some of the greatest melodies and lyrics I've heard in a long time; it literally gave me goosebumps. And your blog? Everything from the blurbs to the pictures to the poetry - *CLASSIC.* I am truly impressed.
