Where do I begin?
Where do you, then, end?
Dear Johnny, you see me through your skin.
The lightness of your sins.
The lightness of your sins.
The lightness of your sins.
Dear Johnny...
Dear Johnny,
I kept having these dreams and...
They were always of this man.
He showed his hands and I kissed his palms.
They were so warm and life-giving.
You see, he wasn't anyone special but every time I approached him,
He would glow with a light that blinded me.
He would burn with a light that blinded me.
A light that blinded me.
& it hit me, I just knew...
I knew I was home.

Now & Then

Oh I said I love you now and then but I could tell no different,
So I want to love you still,
Oh, I want to hold you still,
But I still can't do it all the same.
If you were the same, I could change you.
If you were once whole, I could break you.
Maybe I can try a little harder just to fathom the thought of us,
But I've been thinking- what's so wrong with a complicated mess?
But that I guess that's just me.
If I could say it with grace, I would tell you,
That you are the one but we are still two.
If you can chip away at my crippling loneliness,
Maybe I wouldn't be this contradictory mess for better or for worse.
I guess that's on me.
I suppose if I couldn't do it then, I still can't do it all the same.
If you couldn't do then, you still can't do it all the same.
If you were the same, I could change you.
If you were once whole, I could break you.
If I could say it with grace, I would tell you,
That you are the one but we are still two.
I couldn't do it then, I still can't do it all the same.
I couldn't love you then, I still can't love you all the same.
I couldn't do it then, I still can't do it all the same.
Oh you said I love you now and then but I could tell no different,
Yet I want to love you still,
Oh, I want to hold you still,
But I couldn't do it then & I still can't do it all the same.

Horrid Heaven

Kiss me lightly so I'd know that you were there when I needed you the most.
Tied the rope tightly around my throat,
I let my body swing so heavy above the least traveled road.
The sun sets & I let my shallow breath go.
I've been having these dreams where I replay the careless scenes,
Like when the warmth of your forehead burned,
& I cared a little more so it hurt.
When it burned & I cared so it hurt.
The blistering heat of your skin,
So lively yet so obscene.
The devil whispers up in heaven, "It's all real yet it's just a dream".
It's all false. It's not real so I'll just leave.
Kiss me lightly so I'd know that you were there when I needed you the most.
Tied the rope tightly around my throat,
I let my body swing so heavy above the least traveled road.
The sun sets & I let my shallow breath go.
Tied the rope tightly around my throat,
I let my body swing so heavy above the least traveled road.
The sun sets & I let my shallow breath go.
What hanging pearls, what horrid heaven grants me in.
What hanging pearls, what horrid heaven grants me in.
What hanging pearls, what horrid heaven grants me in.
What hanging pearls, what horrid heaven grants me in.
