Dancing

I am aware
tonight is not the best time
and you should be here
And I could be dancing on the storefront glass
to cheesy modern ringtone jazz
and proving that
I'm not so, not so

Scared
But I am scared and I know
that's kinda weird
The background music's changing fast
I'm watching mannequins walk past
Their drive-by psychiatrist
and saving all my magic tricks

For you, dear
Cause I've got bragging rights,
and hand-knit prayers.
And I'm crazed, yeah I'm stark raving mad
and no one knows why I hold back
and I myself don't understand
and I wish that, I wish that

I was dancing on the storefront glass
to cheesy modern ringtone jazz
waving as those dolts walk past
and proving that
I'm not so, not so scared.

010106 Work in Progress

White dress, black night
My man nowhere in sight
So I wait alone
to have and hold my own.

A dream of what it means
to live and love so free

Angels, demons; both reside
along the aisle, left and right.
Knowing well I don't believe
that either one is saving me.

Knowing that I stand alone
and wait to have and hold my own,
to have and hold my own.
