lyrics

Waiting tonight.
Anxiety's high.
Awaiting "The Life".

Past sunrise.
Trying to write.
Wish I could fly to you.

Everyone's suspicious of the words "true love"
--afraid to say, "I love you,"--
but I don't need the OED to define "love".

Ovid was right:
Apollo, I chide,
for being too desperate.
Suitors vie.
Penelope, hide
until I can fly to you.

Bricolage
of amorous thoughts.
I need my art to love you.

Will I write
another line
or be another desperate tool?

Everyone's suspicious of the words "true love"
--afraid to say, "I love you,"--
but I don't need the OED to define "love".

I'd break the chrysalis and fill my wings with blood
--"SWAG" in nacreous glamour--
but culture says that nature's had it wrong before.

Ovid was right:
Apollo, I chide,
for being too desperate.
Suitors vie.
Penelope, hide
until I can fly to you.

Awaiting life.
Will I resign
or do something desperate?

You and I
deserve a life.
Sincerely, I love you.
