a common ground

I run to you when my heart is scared

I hide when my mind is cold

I miss the air when I can't breathe

I hate the way it feels on my skin

I am an open book

Far too graphic 

not enough pictures

I count the miles in a memory

I laugh at the thought of time

I long for salvation

I am at my worst unkind

I am an open book

Dog eared pages

hard on the spine

I fall bastardly in love with life

I hurt inside

I want and want and need to want

I stay inside

I am an open book

Sleeveless, untitled

resting on a shelf 

I am my mothers eyes

I am my fathers worried mind

I am a savage heart

I am all shapes of life and death

I am an open book

A smell that fills your belly

a sentence read again

a sentence read again.

What Do We Open With?

The air is thick 

The room is hot

Focus is a myth and nerves don't exist

Water, god I need water

Attention divided

The open minded

The Savages 

A chance to prove them all right 

the hardest part is walking through the door.

Crack, buzz, hum. Heineken 

its on.

Rip, Rage, Yell, Play, FLIRT, Dance

understand

LOVE

I knew I could

felt I should 

all I want is now.

My sweat is cool

 close my eyes

give in

and its over.
