Dark Horse 03:45
Dawn still fragrant Not burned away I made haste to learn a truth That I am confused It’s comforting Uncertainty, I gladly take you over nothing Dark horse Lush autumn yards. Calm and collected You played with your hair We decided “we’re good” We always do this when we’re in public Speaking plainly but denying affection Dark horse Look at me now. You can feel safe There are no sins, only confusion And your innocence There is no name for what we are

Nobody 03:05
Don’t hold on But don’t let go Those words are wrong You told me so I just want to breathe When you’re the air To take you in And everything To make you bare You’re still my mirror But I stare too much I take too much My language sucks My words don’t jive I don’t need those To show I’m crippled inside Our paths did cross I let you by Maybe you didn’t see Because, who am I?

Black heart still beating Black heart still cheating me Out of bliss ignorance And any sense of serenity So, give me a name and address Just this once, give me a fucking chance To bring him down, or prove me wrong Or just make him a human being Why protect? Why protect? Black heart pumping hurt Black veins full of dirt Can't stop the imagery From building a false memory Just give a name or a photograph And I will write his epitaph Burn the image or shake his hand Bite his throat or roll on my belly Why protect? Why protect? I wouldn't mind a lesser man Inside you, my sweet territory But if I can't tower over him Then I am nobody Do not protect! Do not protect! Afraid I’ll do something I might regret? I’ll just add it to the list and then forget I’m a man with a black heart I half believe in this Darwinist shit After all, I'm made from it You’re just a child who is always hungry But I am a man with a black heart

No, I won’t regret but I’ll never know Was this a loss? Or just a fantasy Trapped in a dream and it was real Locked in embrace under your balcony And worst of all, I let you in But I’ll never learn Up in your room things became real Hardly a word but there was an honesty An innocence lost. It wasn’t mine Not left the same I opened my eyes for you But I’ll never learn No, we’ll never know. We were afraid In over our heads you pulled away from me I’ll never learn How do I learn not to need you? Oh, this never works Now, I must forget your beautiful face The smell of your hair. Forget your body And all that was said in your simple bed I’ll sleep them away But I’ll never learn
