Picture-less


Picture-less  
By Ryan Johnston

There wasn't a sound
As it spilled onto the ground
I couldn't run away
And I knew you wouldn't stay
The sun bled through winter trees
Without the tourniquet of summer leaves
There was the brightest light
Lighting seared the bleeding sky
Sealing a night so dark
I knew it would always live on
And I would burn alive
Just to be there one more time

If you'd meet me before the fall
When the mirror reflected smiles
Not a million broken eyes 
One for every time I tried
The blood on the glass is mine
Asleep, and dreaming of the rain
That washed those things away
That night you came to stay

Darkness litters my thoughts
Looking for the road we lost
The best of times we made
Crumbled bread to mark the trail
But the Ravens stormed like a black hurricane
And they swept that place away
And I would burn myself alive
Just to be there one more time

If you could meet me on top of the wall
Before the mirror was the floor
And reflections were so much more
Than bleeding out in broken glass
Asleep, and dreaming in the rain
Washing all those nightmares away
Every moment next to you

I'll be back to pull the garden
Spring has proven winter cruel
And all of summer's beauty, lies there rotting 
Stripped like yours, from you 

And I know I, can't stand remembering 
The dirt under our fingernails 
The silence, your defense 
Tired, over tired hand 

And we spent December 
Given our best shot at hating 
But now, as I remember, 
We had no reason to abuse

I'll force God to notice 
That he, is giving nothing back 
And all of us were wet out in the boneyard 
He washed the tears from you 

And I know you, deserve none of this
My distance, as we stole flowers from his grave 
The silence, my defense 
Tired, over tired hand 

And I recall the ways 
You pretended not to notice 
But we both sowed the soil 
That grew only what could die 

And if you believe,
That I tried only to deceive
You know, that's not, true

Sea Of Teeth

Sea Of Teeth
By Sparklehorse

Can you feel the wind of Venus on your skin?
Can you taste the crush of a sunset's dying blush?
Stars will always hang in summer's bleeding veins.

Can you feel the rings of Saturn on your finger?
Can you taste the ghosts who shed their creaking hosts?
But seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil.

Stars will always hang in summer's bleeding fangs
But seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil.
