Baby, tell me all your dreams. The ones you keep in that book. On the shelf that I built. By my booze and my notes on love. How can I tell you what you mean to me without holding you to death? How can I tell you what you mean to me without showing you who I am? Because suicide is my shadow. I try and stay a step ahead of devils and idols. & letters that you wrote that said: “How can I tell you what you mean to me without holding you to death? How can I tell you what you mean to me without showing you who I am?”

I’m afraid of everything. Can I offer you a drink? Or a coffin for us to sleep? Or a scar that you can keep over your heart to mean it’s love. You’re the first I’ve ever touched with my eyes and my tongue. Your sky is blacker than my blood. I can’t fix myself at all I was born for alcohol. Cross my heart and hope to die. Pink bones in boxes underground. Sleep prince they’ll crucify you now. At least that’s what they said. I’m amphetamine. You were caffeine. We were born to be burned beneath the full moon.

Blood of my blood stay where you are. I’ll be here tomorrow asleep in the car. All the words I said to you were written in the stars. All of my sickness came dead straight from my heart and traveled inside me into this guitar. I’ll be here tomorrow asleep in the car

The snow covered river. The pink sliver moon. The house that shivers with some crooners croon. Like a wall divides. A knife decides who stays. The drinking husband. The tired white wife. The American twilight. The leaves in the street.

I am one enough can’t stand another. Someone send a sign. I touch her on the face with my two bruised hands. She sings me songs about my future. She sings off key. She sings lovely. It breaks my heart to feel her love me. & as I reel and fall into my bed I dream only of what she said. “I believe in love and luck. Just be honest.”
