Makeup On Your Eyes

Makeup on your eyes at age 13
Telling me lies in ’23
Moment of surprise initially
It comes from both sides predictably
Ask a question, step to the side
Wanna be known but safer to hide
Wait for danger to pass by
Wait so long can’t meet your eyes
You speak in quotes, you speak in rhymes
Listen close for the bell’s chime
And drive across town two years at a time
Kinda like desire in the street
But I say five things that I don’t mean
Watch your mouth, clamp your teeth
And bow down deep to royalty
There’s time to ask, time to learn
What’s pain what’s pleasure what’s concern
We talk about the rest in fits and starts
Sit a little to the left just like a heart
You speak in quotes, you speak in rhymes
Listen close for the bell’s chime
And drive across town two years at a time
And you could save that story for therapy
Or write it down, see what it means
But won’t you sit across the table and talk to me
You sit across the table and talk to me

What A Decision

It doesn’t get better
It only gets worse
When I pass you in the parking lot
Before I take a turn
I try to get smarter
I want to stay insane
The girl laughing at you
When you kissed her on the train
What a decision
Your best intentions
What a fucked up person
I’m told and I am listening
It hasn’t been healing
It only hurts
When I’m caught off guard in the backyard
And she hits a nerve
I never mention
The night you told me their names
It’s dark we’re going downtown
And you talk while I change lanes
What a decision
Here’s all the givens
So any questions
Ray says that you can trust him
If I had had it my way we’d be a long way from here
Take your hands up off the wheel sit back and let me steer
Winter in New Orleans sky is dark the air is clear
I could keep your secrets if I’d been the only one to hear
It’s never been harder
To know what to do
When you tell me that you miss me
And I know i miss you too
Driving up Route 9
On the 4th of July
Then you’re in the bar I run to the car
And I still can’t tell you why
What a decision
No I can’t defend this
What a fucked up person
To love to lose to leave him

Big Rockstar

Touched by the goddess
Or raised by a righteous man
How to give an answer
That this room will understand
Quick to admonish
And you call yourself a fan
Can only handle frailty
When it’s on demand
In a room with every row filled
Even the balcony
Shouts break out but I still feel
You’re talking to me
Little rockstar, your guitarist
Or the man with a camera in his hand
Wronged righted you decided
To call up your old friend
You’ll let him say I’m sorry
But you know when to run away
It’s a contradiction, somehow you still miss him
But that’s not what they want to hear you say
In a room with every row filled
Even the balcony
Shouts break out but I still feel
You’re talking to me
I could stand I could crumble
I could wonder at what you’ve seen
Their simple answers aren’t appealing
I want mystery
So in a room with every row filled
Even the balcony
Shouts break out but I still feel
You’re talking to me
You’re talking to me

(Never) Let It End

Teenage lady
Clueless baby
Did you know the difference
Did I care to listen
I was a vixen
Evil woman
Pure devotion
Did you know the difference
Did I play the villain
And play with a good man
Could’ve helped it but I didn’t
Could’ve stayed in the sand
But I wanted to go swimming
Rising water
Reckless daughter
Did I bring your ship in
I wasn’t a siren
I was a girl then
Just admit it
Hearing crickets
Did you leave me speechless
With something to confess
Call me an actress
Could’ve called it but I didn’t
Could’ve never let it end
Yeah I wish that I was kidding
