Danger Signs
And she's thinking about what I've said
She's hearing my voice in her head
She's wondering what she could have done
Where will it stop- where had it begun?
And now what can she do?
My God, where will this end?
Her little girl is hopeless
And it's time to make amends.
But she can't bring herself to do it-
Who now lies on the line?
And how will she respond
To these blatant danger signs?

Dark Blue
They swallow me, drink me in. They take me under to their world, and I let myself fall. This place holds little light, yet I can see as if it were a winter's day. I do not grow weary, or ever question as we sink away from an ambiguous sun. The dark blue of this place takes me in, drenches me in its color, and I let it.... for I am part of it now. It is not cold here. It is truth. A truth that seems not to chill nor warm the spirit- my fingers and toes and even my soul feel too much for any bias of a physical sense. Down here I have lost all sense but one- the sixth. Deep beneath those waves hurled by the hands of God, there are answers. Here in this forgotton place. Here in the unknown. In this dark blue ocean, miles beneath anything at all. I find peace. Down here alone where I can see neither my fingertips, nor the breath I breathe, nor my own ache or any sin or sign of a tangible world, I find myself.

Don't Say It
Here I go making a mess again..
One I don't know I'm strong enough to clean up.
I need a new town, a new life, a new drug.
It's not enough just to say that it's over-
The healing is killing me
It's not enough anymore just to be.
I need something more-
I need something bigger.
God come down and take me now
Before someone pulls the trigger
Say you're okay
Tell me anything
Please just don't say you still love me

Down the Rabbit Hole
She lets her head fall back on the merry-go-round
Full lungs scream but there is no sound
Her arms wide open while she spins fast
She thought she was free but she's just back at last
Because there is no beginning and there is no end
It's down the rabbit hole, and back again
Nothing really dies and nothing ever changes
And we'll all fall back to who we've always been
