Cheap Wine

I feel that I'm wasting it all
On plans I'd love to see through
I thought this cheap wine would help
But it's only made me question myself
I slip into REM phase
Maybe I'll find some peace in there
Behind the portrait shadows move
Here come the constant nightmares
Everything's off I can barely balance my weight
My plans complain that I won't come through
Please take me back to a comfortable state
One that you know preferably used

Penguin Cinema

Read up and jot down the backdrop
Fake smiles make up for dialogue
Ten to ten that never sounds off
But then again it's always the back thought
When they came to put the sheets up for the afternoon
I knew you wouldn't join
And when the screen makes your head swim
I know I'll find a new note hidden in your room
Are there ghosts from the skeletons in your closet
Do they haunt your every move
And the signal wasn't timed right for the hundredth time
That was our last coin
Looking back we should have attended the penguin cinema
It was planned but just never through
I'm still worried that it's on your mind
Let me approach you

Forget the cab
I'd rather walk in the cold with you
So you can tell me
About all the places you've seen
The plains of Africa and mountains of Switzerland
This city has such big plans
And I can picture you in all of them
In your blue dress with sparkling pearls
Constantly bandaging the world
I never expected this but after that first kiss
The day changed to something I'd never trade
Won't you stay right there in the front of my mind
Among these streets and the bricks we've memorized
With the trees that look better in the dead of winter
Through this town it all comes back to you

Dear Ramona
You've caught my eye
But I guess those colours aren't hard to notice
And I've heard you're new in town
So I'll sign off if I can show you around
Please don't mention Knives
I'm terrified to confess
She's so innocent
Can I break this easy
No I'm the first you see
She still loves me
But in subspace when she passed me
I knew I'd have to have her then
With roller-blades she strolled away
Casually passing without even saying hello
And my first approach was awkward
I know
Let's go back to your's
It's getting cold and you know I hate this winter's chill
Don't worry about the tea
I prefer the warmth of sheets
Mixed with human heat
