    Am I
    Am I still tough enough?
    Feels like i’m wearing down, down, down, down, down
    Is my visciousness
    Losing ground, ground, ground, ground ground?
    Am I taking too much
    Did I cross a line, line, line?
    I need my role in this
    Very clearly defined

    I need your discipline
    I need your help
    I need your discipline
    You know once I start I cannot help myself

    And now it’s starting up
    Feels like i’m losing touch
    Nothing matters to me
    Nothing matters as much

    I see you left a mark
    Up and down my skin
    I don’t know where I end
    And where you begin

    I need your discipline
    I need your help
    I need your discipline
    You know once I start I cannot help myself

    I. Can. Not. Stop. Myself.
    Once I start I cannot stop myself
    And you.
    Once I start I cannot stop myself
    And you know.
    Once I start I cannot stop myself
    And you.
    Once I start I cannot stop myself
    And you know.
    Once I start I cannot stop myself

    I need your discipline
    (And you)
    I need your help
    (Once I start I cannot stop myself)
    I need your discipline
    (And you know)
    Because once I start I cannot stop myself
    I need your discipline
    (And you)
    I need your help
    (Once I start I cannot stop myself)
    I need your discipline
    (And you know)
    Because once I start I cannot stop myself

    Somethin’ filled up
    my heart with nothin’.
    Someone told me not to cry.

    But now that I’m older,
    my heart’s colder,
    and I can see that it’s a lie.

    Children, wake up.
    Hold your mistake up
    before they turn the summer into dust.

    If the children don’t grow up,
    our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
    We’re just a million little gods causin’ rain storms,
    turnin’ every good thing to rust.

    I guess we’ll just have to adjust.

    With my lightnin’ bolts a glowin’,
    I can see where I am goin’ to be
    when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

    With my lightnin’ bolts a glowin’,
    I can see where I am goin’.
    With my lightnin’ bolts a glowin’,
    I can see where I am go — goin’!

    You better look out below!

    “I know you feel a bit down right now, but it’ll pass. Hey. You wanna break into my house and replace some of those hidden cameras you like so much? Would that cheer you up?”

    Remy chuckled despite himself. “I may have done that already,” he whispered, smiling against Luke’s tee shirt when he heard him laugh too.

    “That’s my boy,” Luke whispered back and kissed his temple.

    My deepest emotional relationships have always been with women. Did that mean I was a lesbian? But my sexual fantasies involved two male partners. Was I a gay boy trapped in a girl’s body?

    The knowledge of a third option slept like a seed under the soil.

    See black, see bloom
    Died on an impulse over you
    Caught like a corpse 
    Crawling round a dream and loving you
    And she hangs on youth
    Crushing any feet to fit the shoes
    Stepping it out with a size 12 mouth 
    And cursing you

    Small town witch come to mess me up
    Small town witch come to mess me up
    Small town witch come to mess me up again

    She whored and she graced
    Bitching with the bottle, saving face
    Blowing it out as the jury’s doubt is laid to waste
    See black, see bloom 
    Choked up on a heartburn, bleeding through
    How does it feel when the ones that feed are biting you

    Small town witch come to mess me up
    Small town witch come to mess me up
    Small town witch come to mess me up again

    “I know you’ve told me everything but what I need to hear, Christopher, we must focus. You must focus.”
    “Okay. Focus on this, Rachel. I don’t want to be reinvented. Or reincarnated. Or regurgitated. I’m not going to be named Petra or Paula or Patricia or anything else.”
    “My God,” she said wearily. “Right-o. Have it your way. You can stay a bloody male if it means so much to you.”
    “I am a bloody male. Of course it means that much!”
    Sarcasm was wasted on her. It was like water off a Mandarin duck’s back. “What about Peder?”
    “Nice. I can hear it now. Peder-phile. No.”
