Description There is a sleep I desire.
A sweet dream to sooth my soul.
Weeping sand, bleeding lies, I call to her, needing that ache fulfilled
A shoot of whiskey, liquid bullet. A story lovingly crafted, textual bullet
Castles of air, flash of darkness, gypsy’s dream, I find her.

I speak with her again, my little madness, a goddess in my mind.
No place is home until Theá has spent the night.
Why am I clean I’ve asked. Because you are you she spoke.
Why am I twisted I’ve pleaded. Because you are you she cooed.
My little goddess in the doorway, my dark oracle.
She wraps her arms around me as I stare out the door.
You don’t have to go there she says, but a gypsy soul I must go.
She watches as I go, sorrowful smile on her lips, running a hand through her hair
and shaking her head.

Steps and leaps I eat the miles and the memories.
I’m ready like a white chalkboard cleaned.
White chalkboard green.
Write on me now and paint your thoughts
I stood tall, bowties and rifles, bullets on the shelf.
I stood tall, clean and washed, anxious, eyes forward ready for more.
I stood tall, strangled smile as you wrote on me, ready to break.
When it’s done I wander home to my madness once again.
She sits there waiting.

She doesn’t ask where I went. Bowties and rifles, bullets on the shelf.
She doesn’t ask what I did. Face red with anger a smile on my lips.
She doesn’t ask who I was with. Voices bidding hello goodbye.
She wraps her arms around me as I step into the room.
I went there I say. She holds me tight and I squeeze back.
I’m here I told them. Sit down, boy they said!
I’m here I told them. Sit down, boy they said!
I’m here I told them. Sit down, boy they said!

I’m here I told them.
With Sasha in my hands and on my hip, light as a feather, I’m here I told them.
I saved him I said. Trips and blunders I saved him, I’m here I told them.
Promises made and broken, tunnels dug, and cards dealt, I’m here I told them.
Place Sasha away and sit down with my madness.
