Dear California

Why question
Existence?
When you're lost,
Find hope.
It's not hard,
Go try hard.
Your mind is splaying tricks again.

QUESTION EVERYTHING
BREATHE IN THE FLAMES
TURN OVER YOUNG DIE HARD
RELINQUISH THE PAIN
RELEASE YOUR NUMBNESS
DEFY YOUR CONSEQUENCE

live in the night
breathe in the moon
and dream away to your heart's worst fears
do not worry
or worry do
but breathe the smoke
and watch the fumes
from your temple empire's
ghost for hire
whole town on fire
dear california
release all your demons
suffer and breathe in
i love you so
did you know?

Dear California,
With words like diamonds
And eyes like swamp pits
And hearts like broken toys
And horny boys
Dear California,
With slurred words and clipped phrases
Stomach aches
Night time failures
Your scent a true essence
I love you Dear California

REPENT LOST ONES
or ye souls shall be lost
SMOKE LITTLE ONES
till your innocence is lost
BREATHE AN ESSENCE
FORGE A FIRE
TAKE A TRIP
SNATCH A WIRE
just remember you were always mine.
but never anyone's truly.

I vomit stardust
And choke back poison
I live in water
And breathe deep fires
You have music within you
My dear sweet california
I need you to carry me
When i am all and over
As the credits roll
The cowboy falls
And the maiden's lost
But the war was won
For innocence was payed for
In the fruits of woman's labor
All us men just sat and watched

i am a boy
Dear California
i make sweet noise
Dear California
i live under the stairs
Dear California
i'll live again
Dear Cali, baby

Come home to me
Sweet California
And hold me close
Sweet California
For nothing really matters,
And it is plain to see
That nothing on earth matters
Nothing in life matters
Nothing really matters
to me.

but please
i lie to save you the pain
i am not who you thought i am
for easy is as worry does
and life's lemons are my hearts desires
fire
hire
liar
shire
crier
until time's past we're liars, liars
Dear California
I call your name
to tell you who I am again
I am a boy
not who I was
but who cares
in love and war?
