[khg] a dry heat

everyone could see it
heat off desert sands
she was just a device
to get the job done
a sledgehammer
wearing lipstick
to break the heart
kill the soul
destroy the man
and taint everything
that comes after
everyone could see it
a beautiful blossom
poison to the touch
each time the story is told
the plot thickens
and the nights get colder

[khg] oh but oh

we hold hands and stare
with out logic or reason
stare into the dark
and the darkest parts
of minds that dont mind

that perfect darkness
in a room full of lights
before everything changes
as we hand the world over
and slide into solitude

the minutes pass like hours
enjoying this company
this wrecked companionship
this elusive feeling
that we are where we belong

moving a little closer
trying to make some room
for things that bite and sting
all the things that can break
this far out from reality

stumbling drunk on emotions
bottled by the case
refined by time and distance
capped with tension
best served with intention

we could capture the mood
going mad in the process
only to throw the bottle
to the sourness of sunrise
as we go our separate ways

we hold hands and stare
into that perfect darkness
the minutes pass like hours
moving a little closer
to the coming explosion

[khg] this haven of angles

where are we going
with you leading the way
where are you going
because i have to stay

every turn
every door
another difficult choice
i never wanted to make

sure it sounds like fun
perfect in every way
sure you would be fun
perfect as every day

every turn
every door
another hall of mirrors
reflecting the problem

we could go on
like the angels in heaven
we could go on
like it has always been

every door
every turn
blocks the darkness
but also the daylight

we could go on
in this haven of angles
we could go on
and on and on as we like

[khg] stitched and ditched

when i say to get out of here
i mean it in the most loving way possible
go out and conquer the world
grab it by the balls
and show em how its done
your kind aint welcome here
except by the few that get it
live by the light of a bigger place
grab the city by the horns
leading with your natural charm
leave and never look back
as their mouths drag watching you
take adventure by the throat
caressing it as a lover

best of luck and skill and dream and fight and
send me a card from where ever you land

[khg] candy passions

a short skirt
that flashes thigh
across the room
shes everything you want
nothing you think you need
with a job
a house
world travels
a kid that never came home
a husband that never returned

a short skirt
that flashes garter
across the room
she may leave you standing
or alone in the morning
lines to cross
people to meet
bills to pay
a hundred things to do
and a world to conquer

a short skirt
that flashes passion
across the room
she may have left your bed
left you beside the road
but dont ever think
she forgot you
or all the shit you made her feel
that she tried to say she couldnt
