dead and still dreaming

dolls 02:19
urine scented incense in brick walls. broken glass emptiness, tattooed broken dolls. i smiled as she slept, cross legged against the wall in my room. i dream't in my bed a story of her past inside my head. we danced in circles with death sharp teeth and wide eyes.when i woke up on the second bed i turned around, and stood up.

right next left back the staircase inbetween my eyes steps down a strangers face. rewind back to the times with red doors and yellow walls cross legs obscene! itch scratch for more. sit back photos she adores. dreaded, hairy smells inhales snores angrily. as the little boy screams on the soapbox palms to ears. as the starry eyed boy feels torn apart, square papers.

i think ive seen this before but i cant quite place it. all these overgrown little children. a baby's laugh like an evin grin dripping from your nose to the corner of your chin. that lost soul begging to start over again.

i could hear your bent tire scratch like my crayons. Underneath the basement I rode my boat to the rabbits door, The wicked witch floats a dizzy mess I held myself all over your chest Floating hearts burst from the trees Strands of your hair fall down to your knees The wicked witch floats on bubbles A shocking ton of verbal mumbles I stood stuck as broomsticks crumble I closed the red door and woke up in the rain

swaying and blank against the bitter brick walls. to many strangers voices scream into his little brain brain. separated and dropped out of it all. she walks past pitter pitter patter steps of pixie dust. dreams of innocent masks inside magnificent lust. lights shine down on the cold city streets. and inside the red glass windows. before you let another smile go to waste ive wrote some down, you should listen closely to. been in and out of colors so can i sit and wait? a star coming out of your face its the first time in a delightful way. drags her hands along the wall and shrugs as the pictures all fall. i took a photograph caught slow smoke rings out of your mouth. the clear sky and her empty lies a story of the past. remembers the spring as she puts her magic mask back.

Red glass windows and dust on walls She tries to smile and falls to her knees over and over again. swirls of broken hearts and red wine she walks home in the middle of the night like this street lamps and vampire teeth she tries to call on the telephone instead she sits alone at the bottom of her bedroom "You're a shattered reflection shrunk down to size. I can see by your face it's all locked away inside." But i wrote it all down I give it all away. Flowers frown down closer to the ground. As her shoes kick dust on the sidewalk. She disappears into the night without a sound.
