Good morning! At band practice last night, we were talking about songs we were working on years ago, and that reminded me of some lyrics (a poem almost) I wrote back then and never got to use, so I thought I'd share them here. I know, I've never shared any of my writing here before, because it's scary! Please be nice :)
Daytime Fairytale
Lying in a dead man's arms I'm listening for silver
I shiver in the night - I've never liked to sleep alone
Humming echoes to myself, I'm waiting for my weary dreams
to incubate. It's late, the madman wakes
the wolves who sing outside my window
The darkness fills my heart with broken songs of memories
They speak of hidden rage - it is my bl00d they want to see
My enemies are clattering their beaks and broken teeth
as they speak with my own voice, but you should know
my hands are filled with silence
Remembering their kisses filled with oxytocin toxins
Hidden ghosts beat in my chest against the walls of logic
A chorus of forgotten touch, these suffocating thoughts
make it so easy to forget how every day
we write ourselves another fairytale
Fleeing from my consciousness the ravens strike their wings
They follow distant aeroplane trails like wasted lines of madness
Sadness in my fingertips they tingle with illusions
of fire calls. The animals have come
inside my skin, they howl, they rage, they sleep
