I feel that the palm trees
Have muted me
And this California sun
Is drying up my eyes
Spinning the blood
From the tires
Headed in a tinted direction

This is not what we demanded
We’ve got our stylized lips
Cigarette smoke, blowing from our hair
Back towards our bolted closets

It seems that the ocean waves
Had a way with me
These California girls
Are covering my knife
Why must we inhale the sky?
Filled with mosquito’s
That are smoking from a gun

This is not what we demanded
We’ve got our stylized lips
Pink nails, from beneath your rims
Inside our bolted body bags

Forgive me my pouting eyes
It is not these summer skies
Or the gravel spitting back at you
But, the ocean
Where I sway
Gone to stay
Where I sway amongst ocean eyes…

Very beautiful i must say...

The begginning was the best i think...

I'm saving.

I ask why, but in my mind,
I find i cant really rely on myself.

reminds me of the song by tool called Enima

"the only way to fix it is to flush it all away"

Neither night nor day can give me purchase only purged dust on earth can avenge the worthless.

Ryan!!!

*grin*

this IS a tune . . .
I adore the quirky beatstyle
you have here . . .

reminds me of the highway and drifting . . .

Your writing has grown so much
Good to see you . . .

"These California girls
Are covering my knife"

Interesting line here, Mad Hatter.

Like something "The Ripper" might pen.

I love it.  It reminds me of my car I'm having heavy considerations on blowing up.  If it won't run I can at least make it look pretty.
