Stone Manor

I can feel you stare
Like I can feel you think
Deeper I breathe you crawl inside
Down my throat and between my thighs
I have no expectation about this
I’m a warrior of a lost cause in
A burning house of pain
Where there is no cooling
No one putting out this fire
No one saying no to desire
I can’t let you suffocate
Or seem to have an out so
I’m gonna throw myself through the wall
Leave a giant imprint
Of where I’ve been
And how I finally up and left
Windows are shattered
Feet furiously on the move
As the glass shards mimic our pattern
Till the pieces learn to like glue
This girl is an evolution
Amongst everything else you hear
This constitutes my birth right
The one of smoke and mirrors
Stone manor is slowly disappearing like a dream
I’m left with a bad taste in my mouth
With no illusions about what it means
Everything you fought for
Is weighted with each sigh
Everything you’ve loved became
Every reason to get high
With all of our convictional rage
We still appropriated the fire
Our needs are what we need to change
Start tracing the person to the traceable lighter
I can see the clouds are swelling
The horns on your hat are
Pointing to the sky for that
With your devilish grin
Like you’re about to explode
Onto me then reload
And shoot it all up again
I didn’t mind all the anger you forced out into space
Or the way you compared yourself to everyone
Then dismissed us all in vain
I just liked the way you came when
I called
Took the time to listen
Took the time to stall
It was just enough for me
Enough to just let this go
Wandering free
There’s a carving of your name
Outside soaking in the wood
Under the threshold of where
Our providence once stood
I’ve got something for you this time
It’s colored like the rainbow colored the watering line
Where in the middle is me
Just waiting
Just wondering how many tries Edison had to take
Before he discovered the light
In another life
In another form we
Hold weight
Where it is all good
Until it is great
Where all stone manors
Have some manners
And a welcome sign at the gate
It’s all trouble
And I
Would like to see you again
