We're going on vacation  Words innocent and pure Visions of sun and beaches  Are conjured up for sure The marketers are genius At portraying family bliss A carefree family skipping Through waves not to be missed But just below the surface  Lurk undertones of woe The preparations necessary Belay the surface glow The focus turns to prepping The job, the house the yard The feeding of the pets The domicile...

Chorus I'm deeply sleeping while she's breathing; two breaths mixing, two hearts beating. Verse I The wintry night totally dark and cold embraces us, it can never make us shiver; we keep warm and feel behind delighted each heartbeat measures a minimal fear. Verse II The many secrets of past loves remain inside, we've buried all evidence, too afraid to reveal any of them that...

finally shut her trap, did the job of being herself, letting me observe in the quiet— god, the yapping made her, too human it's like she thought she was the artist. now look: line breaks sharp again— enough to keep breaking backs, morale, slogging the ten-ton-taken-for-granted stones up-up-up Sisyphean hills, still— I miss her jibber jabber....

The rules are simple The rules are clear Talk about the weather But no politics here Talk about the wind Talk about the rain But never, ever Bring up social pain Talk about the sunshine Talk about the clouds But don’t bring up The political crowds If you do Best you prepare Cause things get hot And tempers will flare Can’t no one speak What they truly think Cause fights break out Quicker than...
