The Lake That Had Her Face
It’s been 10 years
It’s been 10 years since we sat on that bench behind my apartment
Today your coming to see me
I wonder if you remember my shaky hands
My sweat would leak through my pits down to my ribs because my nerves would betray me.
It’s been 10 years since we met eye to eye
Today your coming to see me
Stand in the rain
That’s how my eyes remembers your smile
But maybe it’s just me.
It’s been 10 years since the first day we met
Today your coming to see me
When we see each other release me from the prison you put me in
Constantly I’ve been sitting at the bench just to see your reflection in the lake
If I wasn’t for you then why did he send you?
It’s been 10 years since the bird took a flight at night just to sing a song to you
Today your coming to see me
Would it be wrong in the eyes of God if we bonded because of the evil that was done to us?
We talk with laughter but our souls are in tears
Look at the distance he put between you and me.
It’s been 10 years 10 long years
Today your coming to see me
The closer the hour get the closer I anticipate flavorful encounter
Full of shattered love and affection
Is this the both of us or the hunger in me?
The way I’m going
Either I’m going to be release from this lake or fall deeper
It’s been 10 years come out from the water.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"
