julia [acoustic #5]

________________________________

i'll be your witness
i'll be your speculation,
your peeping tom ..
your unwanted religion ..

________________________________

left your beerbottle on the sofa
halfway empty
halfway dead    
left the party too soon
left me there
wondering how you'll spend the night
with some 5minute friend
to graveyards where ..
he'll end up burying you, again
              
maybe you forgot who you used to be ..
and you still can't see
through stained glass windows.
youre genuflecting
in front of complete strangers
[who are just in it for pizza and porn]
and i know, come tomorrow
you wont be able to handle this        
waste your tears
bathing my shirtsleeve ..
waste your wishes
wanting to be.
admitting that you're a mess
but you still won't confess ..
that youre a hieroglyphic bitch

hey julia, why do you wear
jeans during the day, and
miniskirts in the night?                      
i don't think you can handle this

i don't think you can handle this ..

i hear you, trying to find yourself
in cheesy alternative music
the suicide entries in your eyes
the faded slut under disguise,
the doctor jekyll and mr. hyde,
hiding away ..
with no time to think
and too much to drink, protected
by nothing more than
a thin silk layer of monday panties.

maybe you don't know
who you are
maybe you think nobody cares.
will you stop
pulling yourself down
pulling guilty strands ..
from your semen-stained hair
brush your teeth of all guilt ..
repair fortresses you've built ..
misplaced yourself, and
hurt yourself, again.

you wont be able to handle this
and i know, come tomorrow        
i'll hear your sniffle-laments
over cellphone conversations,
never was content
with the decisions you've made
with the incisions you've conveyed
admitting that you're a mess
but you still won't confess ..
that youre a hieroglyphic bitch

hey julia, why do you wear
jeans during the day, and
miniskirts in the night .. ?
just some girl, misused
just some girl, confused
just some masochist dreamer, and        
i don't think you can handle this

i don't think you can handle this ..

because i don't think that theyd
understand,
when everythings meant to be broken
i just want you to know"

Wow. Insightful. Can't say I like this but can't say I don't, either. More just interesting to read line after line to see what else you'd reveal about Julie. Sad, sad, sad, she is!  


Warm regards, Pat

Excellent write, very sad portrait of Julia. I'm afraid she is one of too many.
