My Sad Eyed Lady Looks like Joni Mitchell in the low lights,
In a saddened moment screaming without sound
Cascading silent reverb of an accident you hope never, ever..
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Her substance is addictive, beautiful songs in a hollow tomb
    Made from a blues standard, Billie Holiday without sound,
    Water fall scenes of Rainy Day Women, I pray this never..

    thanks for reading :)

    Falling off to sleep with an assurance that nothing bad ever...

    Rain Forests in Brazil, a Girl From Ipanema, I hope it...

    well stated.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    The dark, liquidating eyes of a woman who makes me..
