The Mist 04:13
The mist is on the ridge again, like I saw it in my dream. The trees all try to speak to me, “Just go away.” I hear them say. Hawk in the sky doesn't even wonder why. Does he even know, how hard I try? The smoke is on the ridge again, I can see it in your eyes. Nothing left to do, just kiss the firemen, goodbye. 600 miles to Portland. You know Portlands the new L.A. Or is it the other way? Either way, it's hard to catch a break. The light is on the ridge again. You watch it slip away. Maybe tomorrow we'll grasp the infinite between chants of U.S.A. And isn’t that just the how it goes, forever in between. I wanna make you love me; I want to be obscene

Boy Crazy 04:06
Boy crazy. It's true. Boy crazy. For you. Nothing to explain. you know exactly what causes my pain. I can tell you again and again, if you insist to pretend. Boy crazy. I awake from my dream, there's no problem too small it seems. I put more ice in your cup and shuffle off into the dark. How could you be done? When I've barely begun. Well, it's wonderful to settle down and reserve my strength for the end. Boy crazy. It's true. Boy crazy. For you. I still think to myself again and again what could've been? Then I take each day and throw it away when it comes to an end. To give myself a second chance through you, it's true, that's why I do the things I do. Boy crazy.

There are symbols everywhere; signs that even I can't deny. Only if they aligned, I could lift away the veil. “Nearly everything takes time,” I tell myself but to no avail, I uncork the wine. Too young but feels fine. For a moment, in my prime. Simple pleasures mask my decline. I divine an arduous path. You say, “Don't go, I know the path. Fear leads back to fear.” Still, I never learn. I'm amazed at every turn; the desert flower how does it never burn, when my love ebbs and flows wisdom dims then it grows? You won't say, “I told you so.” Softer words dull the pain. The jungle calls, why don't we go?
