you escaped
with your life
a little scarred
from the fight
in the street
in the light
i could see you waving
your flag of white
is it just a case of a misplaced step?
took a wrong turn looking for a lesser threat?
i place a hood on your head for surprise effect
seen it all
all before
had a plan
had it conferred
with advice
you could trust
seen it crumble
see you crushed
i couldn’t stand how you stood and let the boy stay lost
like his life wasn’t worth all the time it would cost
couldn’t crawl back along all the lines you crossed
i am doing this to confuse you
manipulate and abuse you
i am doing this to hurt you

there’s a game
it’s called the innocent touch
spin a web
and watch the flies get stuck
i won’t play
but i can show you how
make them beg
before you turn them down
don’t you know i’ve got a whole lot of love to give
so much so, i’ve got to spread it
accommodate
my every need
you never bite
when it’s time to feed
i can’t recall
when i asked for more
meal for two?
i’ll set the table for four
don’t you know you’ve got to learn how to share your toys
you’re not special, you’re just like all the other boys
don’t you know i’ve got a whole lot of love to give
so much so, i’ve got to spread it out

i heard the things you had to say
i’ve seen the thoughts etched across your face
why do you need to look away?
let’s take that chance – forget the reasons to stay
i never wanted to believe
that this could turn us into them
and now there’s no way to be free
from all things we never said

out of the clutch of your conviction i assess what i need
it’s funny just how much attention you require to breathe
it’s true i make mistakes, i stumble, trip, i fall and i bleed
but i’m not hesitant, just sensitive to certain degrees
i’m not upset when you’re repetitive – i get what you mean
i know it’s hard for you to change the things you can’t even see
i find my history has ceased to detail accurately
the many lacerations i’ve effected casually
it’s true i make mistakes i stumble, trip, i fall and i bleed
but i’m not hesitant, just sensitive to certain degrees
and should i make myself in short supply before you agree
or do i run the risk of finding out you’re just what i need

i’ve got the tools to make it work
i’ve got detachment, i’m alert
i’ve got to fix you, put you first
i’ve got a pill so it won’t hurt.
i’ve got a picture in my head
i’ve got you spread across my bed
i’ve got to kill what’s still not dead
i’ve got to keep this hunger fed
i’ve got to let you know
i’ve got to
i’ve got this dream i must pursue
i’ve got a thirst for something new
i’ve got to got to see this through
i’ve got the force to force you to
i’ve got to run you through my hair
i’ve got to make this circle square
i’ve got this dream i want to share
i’ve got to feel that you’re still there
i’ve got to let you know
i’ve got to got to go.
i’ve got to lose this itch
i’ve got a fuse, you tripped the switch

i’m not a sharing kind of person,
it always comes as shock when someone
wants to share with me.
she’s amazing.
talk to me.
i keep my distance.
she looks devastated. i’m enthralled.
i notice all her movements.
i never saw her until now.
she’s all alone. she calls.
tell me where you are.
i tell her. she can’t see me.
i’ll find you.
i’ll find you

no smile when i watch her run
‘cross the bridge and back under the sun
i’m still her boy
finish line brings it back again
and with a twist it’s a signal when
she’s being not so coy
she’s not so coy
i still remember when we had a distant friend
to bring us two together through the night
a quick kiss walking out the door
pop back in for just a little more
she doesn’t mind
call ahead on my way back home
didn’t want to leave her all alone
all of the time
we’re intertwined
seems like so long ago, we didn’t really know
if we belonged together
but now we’re pretty sure that we can be mature
in dealing with whatever
we’re all done
we’re all done
we’re all done
we’re all done

stall her while i slip out of the building
on my bike i’m racing through the city
check the time, i’ve planned it to the minute
execute with requisite precision
but can you really blame me?
i just get a little crazy.. don’t you?
and maybe one of them will save me
’cause every man needs a lady or two

another picture off the wall
you’re killing time taking it all away from me
slowly shift without a sound
you’re setting up, i’m tearing down
i did it for you.
