Go to LFS and do a MA What would my hometown boys say? To see my name on bulletin boards As I navigate through the hoards of la whores cause I always wanted to do my best but had these fears that held me back Tried to let go of all I know but could never see which way the wind blows I wanted to know where I was going To find who would come along with me Watching St. Richard of Austin, a slacker from Boston lost in his twenties Trying to find a deeper meaning than others had in mind for me To travel alone into the Far East and wander along the Hong Kong streets Maybe there I'll see what destiny has waiting for me I wanted to know where I was going To find who would come along with me I wanted to know where I was going To find who would come along with me Had to leave my fears behind for all the reason I could not seem to change I know its strange there must be something more than this Had to leave my fears behind for all the reason I could not seem to change I know its strange there must be something more… All the things you left behind it's a sign of the times When mind become intertwined and I can't seem to find The meaning of a dream or a strand of the seam The start of this stream that flows to you All this fucking time I've had it on my mind Like a knife in my back and the courage that I lack To be grasped by the truth but still be aloof Of who I should be or what makes me Had to leave my fears behind for all the reason I could not seem to change I know its strange there must be something more than this Had to leave my fears behind for all the reason I could not seem to change I know its strange there must be something more than this More than this

LaMotta 02:27
I punched his jaw till he could get up no more and I hope you saw – I know you saw. Thinking about that whore who spends my money and makes me sore. I would take you home but you would not come with me? By the candlelight whereʼs my fucking dinner? Come fucking home. Come fucking home. I thought we were… Over again, try and pretend that something would seem to come through. Something to send, or maybe to end, one last thought of you. I would take you home but you would not come with me? By the candlelight whereʼs my fucking dinner? Come fucking home. Come fucking home. Come fucking home. Come fucking home. I stopped the smoking and drinking that fucked up my thinking and began to play basketball and eat raw broccoli in a salad; I wrote an embarrassing ballad and got laughed at by my friends and had a few more cigarettes last weekend.

I am delicate, like the things you forget when youʼve drunk too much and you feel the regret, of too many things said or whispers in the bed mark my flesh the colour red or lick my face. In the morning next to you upon your skin I placed a bruise, watched it spread like an inkblot upon paper. I browsed upon your freckles, tried to escape the shackles of my own freckled body and failed. I have dirt behind my ears, cut my hair with garden shears. Hose me down cold and muddy, the ocean has drops too few. Can I bathe with you? You could show me how you are alone. Never felt so alone. So arrest me for stealing flowers leave me in a cell for hours and hours or be me my June, je suis la lune, I hoped that youʼd be coming soon to take the shackles from my wrists and unclench these balled up boxing fists.

How can I ever? Itʼs much better than never Days, weeks, inbetween us

PanAm Smile 08:01
Dressing gown, falling down, red. Leaning on the bed. Arms over breasts, crossed and caressed her figure hidden. Wondering whatʼs forbidden like a hole in the sole of my shoes. Wondering whatʼs left to lose, playing the blues and reading the news. Dream, sleep, aspiration. Still I continue with perspiration. Thunderous clouds in the view way ahead, the storm echoes with every word unsaid. Full of dread for the memory decay, the wind starts to blow as birds fly away. “In my beer you drop your cigarette, donʼt you have the least regret.” All this time, having lamb with wine, having coke with lime, having times weʼve shared, in this deep regret, with this last sunset, this fucking last request. All these schemes, having teenage dreams, playing movies themes, these lives weʼve shared, with this one last kiss, an eternal bliss, who will know youʼve lived? And Iʼll always miss… You. I canʼt believe you were fucking him; I canʼt believe you were not fucking me. I had you. I canʼt believe you were fucking him; I canʼt believe you were not fucking me. There could always be a hope that; I had you.
