heaven.
soak it up, salamander.
light it up,
enough wine for after,
for now.
chit chat,
i wanna hear it again:
the sequel sucked,
but how'd the movie end?
part of myself's still laying in the water
at the onsen.
jump into the pool,
naked communion,
neptune.
we're soaking in the bath
a lizard in the lab
c'mon and take me back.
keep it warm,
because i'm coming back for more
and keep those wandering eyes
on the gravel road.
remove your shoes
at the door,
show some respect for yourself.

i feel emotional,
the credits rolling down the screen,
it's barely afternoon
so much for taking time to beat the heat.
well in the interest
and in the absence,
the dweller on the threshold,
I feel the reason:
you pluck the day from the vine when its ripe
and ill be always on your side,
you keep me under your wing
and ill be your esteemed
mothman tonight.
are you hungry anymore?
or are you satisfied?
are you the prowler,
in the window,
left-handed every night?
well under the banner,
one taste is worth a million,
no distractions anymore,
i feel the reason:
you pluck the day from the vine when its ripe
and ill be always on your side,
you keep me under your wing
and ill be your esteemed
mothman tonight.

you say you're scared
of missing out on the action
you stare into the sun
you feel the pressure
i feel it too,
we clean the apartment.
the ceremonial dagger
in your grasp
you're reaching out
with both hands
the underbelly
into the alleyway
you keep it to yourself
and you can hold
it in your heart
smoker's delight:
look into the mirror
there's a moth growing in you
a pregnant pause:
fetch another bottle of that vintage '42
all along the chateau
hold yourself accountable
for what is surely lost
no music lately
no hurry baby
all we have is raising moths
settle in for the evening
into the heat of the night
alley cats are outside
clawing at the window
they're gonna be alright.

look me in the lizard eyes
no distractions
thats unusual.
holding out and longing
patient as a dog
delusional
don't talk priorities to me
they've got you
mounted on the slide
sharpen the focus
turn out the light
no grave in sight
grinding on my teeth
tugging on your sleeve
in the back of the class
keep your eyes peeled
for the answer
salamander
take a look around the room
out of focus
out of tune
no surprise
we get caught up in the hype
don't talk priorities to me
they've got you
mounted on the slide
sharpen the focus
turn out the light
no grave in sight

well, meet me in the middle
on this one.
patience,
I know I ought to give
but i have none.
i am tired of:
second guessing
i'm tired of
holding my tongue
i wanna be so self-reliant
i wanna be so sure of myself
keep me in the empty spaces
up on the shelf
collecting dust.
you know that i'm an animal
there's blood flowing in my veins.
potion seller
under the weather
under control
baby, i'm your man
begging for scraps
at the foot of your table
running jag
like the dog i am.
keep me in the empty spaces
up on the shelf
collecting dust.
you know that im an animal
there's blood flowing in my veins.
more than just an ordinary sort of solitary feeling
inkling of some pervading guardian is overseeing.
more than ever being held accountable like a real adult
is holier, but who's to say?
it's not my place
its up to you.
now wouldn't that be somethin?
sitting on the couch
arms are folded tight
i've had enough to anchor me
enough for tonight.
i'm looking forward to another time
when i can make you laugh
like i did before
but no more,
now wouldn't that be something?

why is life so hard
on the little things?
maybe not,
that's just the way it seems.
look what they've done to you,
geordi
you're sister's been crying
all day.
when i held you
in my arms
you were brave
you were strong
you were best of the best
ill never forget you
