Crash and Burn

It takes two to crash and burn
Uncomfortably I don’t know what for
I stared at his eyes, I said take me home
Lay me on your bed and drive us off
Ambivalence kicks in like alcohol
even at his soberest he finds
a way to get me drunk
My heart was deceitful above it all
Let it be, let it burn
It takes three to crash and burn
but it takes one to let it grow
how does she feel about this one
Do you think she will just stare or
let herself drown
ambivalence kicks in like gasoline
it lights itself in fire
and burns down to its knees
Her heart was deceitful above us
Drop me off here, and drive her home

The Burden

The day that you left you promised
You would remember us for the rest of you life
Today I release you from the burden
Of having to carry us through your path
Today I release you from the promises
No more ven calling what we having “us”
I will give you the right to hate me
Because I was the only good thing in your life
You could never grow up even if I tried
You were too self centered to even come close to understand
You and your drugs and all your missing pieces
I will releasing myself from that.
The day that you left you promised
You would remember us for the rest of you life
Today I release you from the burden
Of having to carry us through your path

V Card

Looked for him in empty parking lots
and empty rooms
Say in all honesty there is no one home
there is no one home
you met a man
in a fresh silver night and promised
each other to stay untouched, to stay untouched
take your V card and slide it under the door, boy
you sold yourself for so little when i thought
i was worth it tho
V is for purity and hope
baby light my fire when he is gone
I can see your hands in his hands and
his spirit on your chest
counting sheep, counting sunsets
looked for him in the sea's tide, on
each one of the lingering words we said
you met a man
in a fresh silver night and promised
each other to stay untouched, to stay untouched
take your V card and slide it under the door, boy

Oh Canada (Frank)

oh canada
now you're only lines creeping across a big map
winter snow has covered damian
i'm pretty sure he's gone
and frank said before he left
he would hold me as a memory
i'm pretty sure he's gone by now
and the waters on the bay have dried out as well
oh canada
now you're only memories of things that went well
that slipped through my fingers
like sand in the wind
and last time I saw frank
he didn’t forget to kiss me goodbye
I really wish I did
I remember see him getting further
Knowing I would never hold him again
oh canada i wish we could meet again
that I could feel the bliss i felt then
oh Canada now you are only words
you are only a memory of something
we couldn’t hold
please just drive me home
