Transparencies

Funny how our friendship was going to last forever
Came to that conclusion too soon for sure
Wanting it back but yet not trying to care
Turning my head but wanting to stare
Missing the way it was while seeing the way it is
Wanting to cry just because it was never going to be like this
Friends forever stuck like glue
400 miles away it sounded good to you
But face-to-face it’s not the same
Loss of conversation- we’re both to blame
There’s no more common ground
No more similarities found
Other priorities take up the hands of the clock
Another vision comes to view as the smaller hand slowly drops
Calling me on the phone from two states away
Is all it takes for our friendship to stay
But in the same area code once again
You have no time to call your friend
Let alone catch up on old times face to face
You never cease to put me in my place
Or where you think I should be for that matter
I’m better that what you think I am, but that doesn’t matter to you
You already have your mind set don’t you
I should have been in Sodom or Gomorrah and you in Enoch
You the perfect child, I –the easy trick
Mad at what I have become
You quickly drop the friendship and run
To quick for me to say what you wanted to go into your ears
Our friendship is stained by the salt of my tears

The Alien in You

Take me to your leader, cause you’re alien to me

Your words are strange, but taken in by me

I don’t know the truth behind your disguise

I don’t know what’s hidden behind those eyes

I don’t even know your name

I don’t even know the rules to this game

I’ve never seen anything like you

With hair so blonde and eyes so blue

No mortal has such perfection

No man can give such affection

I’m walking on untrodded grounds

And floating in untainted air

I’m mesmerized by your touch

I’m hypnotized by your stare

So forgive me if I can’t take my eyes off of you

And if I shiver when you put your hand in mine the feeling is just too new

Forgive my caution if I don’t have the courage to stay

This magnetic pull you have on me might get me to close to push away

Take me to your leader I’d feel better if I knew

If there is any possibility that there’s alien in you
