Misplaced

[Guest Heart Like A Hole]

no, my darling, i haven't forgotten

and no, my dear, i'll stay right here

i've made no plans to leave you hanging

though right now my feet are dragging

and it may seem like i've grown cold

but i haven't lost my love...

it's just misplaced

 

and i know my laughter is forced

you can see my eyes aren't green today

i cry in darkness now

when once i was singing

my skin is shrieking

with unbidden rage

but don't be afraid, my only,

i am tragic but it's sure to pass quickly

i haven't lost my smile

it's just been misplaced

 

and i know i don't speak my mind now

bottle up what i'm feeling and leave you in the dark

put you on hold

when my eyes start leaking

hang up the phone

when my heart begins to break

no, my lovely, i've not lost my voice

it's been misplaced

 

i think i'm sick

but this disease can't be permanent

i won't let you go

or lose hold of what i've found

and though i know i'm scaring you

and you won't like the way this sounds

i just don't know who i am at the moment

my eyes are heavy with the weight of unrest

things have got to fix themselves

run their course and make their peace

i haven't lost myself, my dreaming darling,

it's just...

 

i think my heart needs to be replaced

[Guest Xradion]

In these times of Plexiglas windows for church walls,

I wander through the halls of memory to ponder

Reflections of myself seen in stain glass.

 

Times past, shattered hearts, shattered minds.

Bended like light traveling through water at an angle.

Souls prostrated before an altar

With the shape of a star, a moon, a cross, a heart

Made of wood throbs within me.

I am the man made of tin

Who traveled far

Merely to find

I had heart after all.
