If The World Ends This Saturday

If the world ends this Saturday I will not worry myself with floating up or sinking down
If it ends before I wake up than even better

If the world implodes in on itself this coming Saturday I hope I'm standing next to someone I love
If it ends while we're dancing even better

If the world begins to evaporate into thin air I hope it takes you just before me so I can inhale you seconds before I burst into dust

If the world ends this Saturday in a slow and painful way I will not hesitate to poison us both with a venom that kills instantly

It it ends with me here and you there then I will shut my eyes to pretend there is here and here is there

If the world ends this coming Saturday I will be surprised and I will be proven wrong and I will feel cheated out of a life that I have yet to live the way I want

But if the world ends and I had the chance to sing my songs, right my wrongs and love like I was dying anyway
Then if the world ends this Saturday I will go with it smiling ear to ear

Sea Legs

I'm standing on a waterbed
Balancing my composure and my weight
Practicing my lines and my poker face
You taught me a fortune's worth of patience
But destroyed me with continual maintenance
There is an onslaught of weapons
Tucked away inside your coat
I wish it were me and not you
But it's not, so cut me to ribbons
Blow holes through my chest
Dismantle my bones and burn whatever's left
Break my sea legs and let me sink in
