Home Is Where the Heart Is (Heartless Homeless)

Is Daedalus the only liar in these sheets?
Or does the mirrored reflection mistake me
again.
Am I the one who sends families to the streets?
Or do those who have no home also have no hearts
to mend.

Thousands of Icarus' to breathe belief into
And then watch them melt and fall on their
own.
"Only Lonely" is a way to fool those laughable few
Who will fall into the mold I cast to become all my
own.

Poor old souls who love the cold press into tales
Like a young man who recieves his first passionate french
kiss.
They find its delicious taste barely seems to pale
When erect against that young lass' lips, lips full of lies to
miss.

Their broken hearts leave the worst impressions
like frost laying upon the grass on an April
morning.
Their broken bodies lay strewn in opposing directions
Blocking the music flowing from their mouths sending out a
Warning.

The lifeless brothers and sisters play
Beside concrete sidewalks and cry no more from
loss.
All the love from their mothers couldn't stay
A mouth that loves to lie about the heat from a burning
cross.
