Atlas Meets Just another Girl

It’s probably much easier for Atlas and he just lets it roll off his back, probably was just as easy for her not that she ever knew and even if she did. “Atlas Meets Just another Girl”, I can’t fix the world but I’m an expert at fixing my heart…

And if I give my eyes a break
… no, I better stay awake
For if I close my eyes, it’s easier to pretend
I’ll ever see you again
But ain’t love blind
That was my first mistake
I’m just out to find

“It” crushed, the sky descends
As even God thinks you’re so divine
Your boyfriend knows you’re fine
So I want you, easy as pie, a piece of cake

Just excuses like “I’m out of pencil lead”
All I need is the air that I breathe, but instead
Can I get a vowel, maybe even two?
All I needed was I and U
If only it wasn’t for that break in the center
Something we will never make
Well not together *sigh* whatever

Love me like you do
Which I guess, just means never
Will I put my heart back together?
Maybe it will take

until the bed frame shakes
Or heart and ache
Is broken too
Three little words too many, too few
So what if Atlas drops the world
How did my heart break?
Beautiful, powerful, not just another girl

Only you

Baby Like Boom

That’s what it felt like, you know how your heart skips a beat when you see her and when you finally feel it again well… this is the way the world ends or begins again. Baby Like Boom, now let’s see what’s reflected in the rubble, one of her, I wish.

Tell me… “I’m somebody’s baby”
Since when do angels deliver bad news?
Beautiful girl, what’s it like?

You tell him “you’ll always be my baby”
or “Love me like you do”
Feels like a nuclear strike

And I’m waiting for my atom bomb baby
Waiting for a girl LIKE you
Because psych

There goes my baby
Yeah, when the stars go blue
Is love blind or does it look alike

Going Somewhere Cupid

And if I had someplace to be
Buying a bouquet of flowers
that you’d never see
What… they’d die in an hour
Go to Rock Hard Mr. Jeweler
You’ll love me like you do
For what would be cooler…
maybe, I could give it to you
If I had the courage to

be going somewhere
Instead, run boy run… but why
Because I’m shy, no… I’m scared
Petrified, when you’re such a wonderful surprise
Only you’re not in my red room
You’re not mine, tragic
With “him” I’ll assume
Never mine to ravish
Me you’d never choose

But wouldn’t it be nice…
Suppose I might never know
Because this place is not quite paradise
To find you I might have to go
Holding my breath, when I slip you a note
I don’t want to run that fast
Don’t want to scare you… I hope
Then love has already passed
When the stars go blue

will you stay with me, or be right here waiting there
In your lingerie… someday
Well I won’t be no runaway
My heart’s not going anywhere

When you’re too close to care

Love from Scratch

I can make love out of anything… almost; a smile, a voice, eye contact, a bit of softcore and hardcore porn, well intention words… take your pick. Love from Scratch, when you’re mad and yet you know the truth or when you’re in the shower with a Fleshlight

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCusEdHNmUI

And it always hurts somehow
But before I say ow
I’ll cover you; I’ll follow you into the dark
I want to tear you apart
Fix you but I don’t know how
So would you come with me now?

Should I ask again, plead and beg
You knock me off of my feet but on my own two legs
Well you have you have wings
Only I’m trying with everything
With every thought in my head
Every breath you take, if you shared my bed

Even then it might hurt a bit
Would a kiss… a bit of ravishment
One bad romance
Or even a lap dance
Tell me, because I want to know what love is
Be my heroine and crazy bit*h

Somebody’s heartbreak
The reason I’m still awake
Why I think three little words through
Just love me like you do
Yeah this might be a mistake
Still I’ll Say what I need to say, if you can take

A little bit of love from scratch
Love… have I had enough
Stay with me, because
Pain like this or that

No one wants to feel alone

Feather Ed

Did you leave your wings at home, sometimes even angels fall, or maybe did you forget how to fly… all the things I was thinking about saying when I saw my crush in an ankle cast today. Feather Ed… they once used feathers for a lot of things

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXrQgvkfLiM

And even God thought, you’re such a wonderful surprise
You’re what men were given eyes for
So God makes even more…
only you’re the one that I adore
But I dream of you instead

Should I open my eyes?
Live brave in a whole new world
Just be the boy asking a girl
to love me like you do… absurd
Yet like a chief I tread

Imagining letters from the sky
From a poor poet’s hands
Spoken from this man
Tell me my love, here I am
How the quills once bled

Of the Marquis de Sade and an angel’s demise,
debauchery, wanton depravity
Ravishment and the biggest tragedy
That there would never be you and me
High above me, wings spread

I don’t ask why
You keep so many feathers, keep your wings
There is something better, only I spring
my own wings together from so many things
Still this year’s love is over my head

Neo Falling

Just when I think I see the ground I realize I have a bungee cord around my ankles or I’m the extreme wallflower hanging off the side of the cliff… I think I’m safe. Neo Falling… she has me falling all over again and I don’t remember the ground.

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IJU73jbgrk

And while I’m falling down
Like Neo, I try to realize the truth
How was I high enough?

Did I fly, did I climb, did I dream somehow
That you would love me like you do
As if the stars were only there because…

I needed the gods to help me out
with all these things that I’ve done; who
else could I be thinking of

Tell me but then again, not now
Maybe when the stars go blue
When I’m not afraid of my crush

on you or hitting the ground
with three little words, less powerful… “I like you”
But I’m high enough, to fall in love

Retired Feelings

As the song goes… too young to fall in love but I’m too old to be this afraid, to be a virgin, or to be all alone in the world. Retired Feelings, surely the pieces of my heart must be dust by now and if not what am I, lonely man at 31 or a dirty perv

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJsQvN_CFlM

And not speaking of desire
Doesn’t that make me a liar?
A courageous man would inquire
Be creative or even inspired
Instead, I perspire
Until I’m much too tired
Yet you love me like you do, the night entire
As Cupid and the other gods conspire
Forever alone prior
To the day I expire
Can I be anymore shyer?
Dreaming of a girl on fire
Instead, I stand right beside her
My heart much too young to retire
