Five of Eight

Misdirection
Copouts thrown
Cheap scapegoats
Techno groans

Engines rumble
Emotions tumble
My hands; they fumble

Rocket missfires
Screams of the tires
As we come to hault
My lips taste of salt

Conversate 
Congregate
Spend a little time

Compensate 
Don't be late
Dwelve inside your mind

Claims i staked
Had you pegged
But still you had declined

Broken heart
Wasted art
Yet still my hands are tied

Tried to deny
The feelings i hide
Yet I set them all free

So you possibly,
Could let yourself see
You never needed me

A toy just a lust
Avoid you I must
Alone again.  I have to be.

Now we are lost
A winter frost
Still, every rose must die
