fleas, flees, fleet, flat, floating.......ly(ALICE, HEAR ME)

[artolmaeus]

you have judged me, but you were already the executioner

and somehow, I never knew you all that well,

but you've been in my dreams, and just enough to know

I am up to no damn good, but I am getting what I want

never what I deserve, but isn't that why we dream

for all the cake and none of the calories

oh but we will sweat, then, you already knew that

and we have been there a long time

long enough for you to be tired of my single mindedness

and the ropes I have put upon you

until you wake up free, and I, alone and hungrier having indulged my imagination

then, I woke up this morning and decided to introduce myself

but you could only run away

and then, well, damn you for invading my dreams

even if you were in them, but they were not yours

nor are you mine, but quietly, if I closed my eyes, long enough,

well, then, things could happen differently

and no one the wiser

how many times you shot me, and I could feel the bullets burn

and I just stood there, burning

like some western wicked witch covered in water

but forgetting to melt

(midnight, upon the water, I saw the ocean's daughter)--{yes, yes, I stole Jeff's words baby}

and baptized in just enough fire, my hair was dry enough

to shine some light on her before I met the sun with opening eyes

and I never can get it out my head, because maybe you were there

because I was wrong, because I was wronging,

because I did it all so wrongly, yet silently, while I punch a clock

and struggle some eggs and bacon and gas up my car,

little happens, except somehow, you know all I am up to

once I fall asleep

then, it is me who keeps the world spinning round,

and giving babies to a universe I can never step into

or be awake enough to entice you to at least try

like some supernatural story, where I could put my blood upon your lips

and then, you could not avoid me,

but this ain't no twilight, and until tonight, once again

I wish I could never dream again, for all the guilt it is giving me

and nothing ever happens in the same way

there's no cookies in the cookie jar, there's no cookie jar

and I drank all the milk after I dunked them

and in the barrel over the falls, I am dry and walking on the water

give me the keys to abandon and I will leave them there, on the table

by the doors of certainty

and I will leave just enough of the bottle for you to drink too

but, I am ahead of the rabbit

and I have his watch
