The house lights fade
And the gobes light up
It’s time to start the show
A wicked dance
In the the deep twilight
Showing eyes that sparkle and glow
She moves ever swiftly
Feet barely hit on the floor
But as the music changes
Her softness turns into a roar
But what did make me trust in your motion?
Was it the same little thing that twirled you about?
I fell in love with the commotion
And there’s something more I wanna find out
That fabrics change
And it picks up pace
It’s time to rock and roll
The shade of blood
Covers the stage
To show this bird has flown
And then, like an animal
Released from it’s tiny cage
She breaks out screaming
Fists in the air enraged
But what could make me trust in your motion?
Was it the same little thing that tossed you around?
A connection between the commotion
This canary’s making my heart pound
Start back
To where it all began
An angel of purity and grace
Where wings take flight
Across the aisles
And light pours from the stage
She is beauty
Perfection I adore
Like a black swan rising
From the water begging for more
Snap back to reality
Stop putting your heart in everything
But if you kill the mockingbird
There’s no way you can hear it sing
But what did make us touch in your motion?
Was it the same little thing that brought me to you?
I’m in love with your commotion
I think I’m getting sick with a little bird flu
Turn about round…

Less Is More

You come to me saying I need someone
You come to me saying you need something else
Well, I don’t know if I can do it
I’ve crossed that line too much just to hurt myself
Sometimes it gets lonely in the evenings
Standing out alone in the pouring rain
You see it all the time, but they don’t tend to bat an eye
I am the one that you will see
Hurry up your stride, don’t act like me
It’s funny how they say that they don’t want love
It’s funny how they say they just wanna mess around
Well I don’t really see the point in it
Heaven forbid we both stand on different grounds
Admittedly of course I’ll say I miss it
But it’s not worth it to me to lay it all down
Cuz I’ve seen it all before, from a kiss to a face in the door
I’ve never gone back to settle the score
I’ll always think to myself, hell what is it for?
At the end of the day maybe less is more
