OXYGEN

from DEMOS by Rick Berlin

lyrics

OXYGEN

he’s a complicated boy
w/ a complicated girl
their brain's r typing
a nasty ibsen play
they’re always anxious
they’re always running away
trembling like flowers
in the snow
on a Christmas day

it seem like every face
in the city looks fake
+ every thing's at stake
like a polaroid

complicated fears
n complicating friends
he says i'll take a bullet for ya baby,
tho the gun is in yr hands
but she's shy with her eyes
while he hides
from what
she's feeling
her face
she wants t kill him
she takes her clothes off..

he loves but not enough
n she’ll be hurt too much
he writes w a magic marker

there is more love in this world
than oxygen

like horses
in the wild
like lions
howling in
the zoo
