Dis-integration (2014)

We reach for each other's hearts 
seeking validation 

Clumsily we penetrate  
romantic vivisection 

We abhor our injured parts 
that crave communication 

Silent, we accelerate 
the last evisceration

Descendance (2014)

Ancient bones in their stone crypts 
never know sunlight or sin 
they lie abed with dreams of skin 
rattling and sprattling skulls 

They do not pulse with the rhythm at noon 
they cannot dance away fears 
drums beat loudest in fleshy ears 
they do not writhe for the tune 

Bones faced their day of love and war  
now they're done – today is our day 
nothing they say can smooth away 
the wrinkles that we ignore.

Never leaving me (2013)

This wasn't how it was supposed to go
I was gonna steal your heart – how, I don't know
Still it's a happy ending, for you see
We're not together, so you're not leaving me 
Never leaving me 

I hear it's better to have loved and lost
I say it's better to never pay the cost 
I'll be all right with just a fantasy 
No muss, no fuss – no us – and no leaving me 
Never leaving me 

Can't think of anything there's left to say 
I'm on my own, alone, and I'll do okay 
But if you care to share a drink with me 
I'll be leaving first because you're not leaving me 
Never leaving me
