Array ( [sid] => 70770 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => sinking [time] => 2004-11-09 11:19:22 [hometext] => thank you for listening [bodytext] => im six feet from anything that means something to you
and maybe you should talk to me
tell me if theres something i need to do
maybe wait for next summer
to melt the snow and wash the dirt away
so my bare broken eyes wil meet yours
and soak your light into my pedals
no im not what you expected
not the rose you looked to pick
not the tree u culdv leaned on
or carved your name in it
u always were a little too hopeful
that i cud be anything more
than a battered withered flower
in the grasp of a faithfull boy
and as his eyes would melt before you
youd burn his heart into a crisp
cast to the ocean
ill be sleeping with the fish
or with anyone thats cold enough
to blanket in my skin
help me breath under water
so my dreams will kill me with
one breath of the sand
as many grains as i count stars
but ill be singing with the moon
drunken lying in my madness
he swallowed half of his rock body
the half on which i bloomed
thats all your gonna see tonight
as you gaze through your window at
the stars shimmering
i am shivering
i am shivering i am shivering
i am shivering
i am shivering
i am.....
i.......

and its all up to you
where to go from here
i hope the light came before the tunnel
thank you for listening......
