Stick Around

stumbling just
searching for someone to trust
i've always found
someone i can trust to let me down
promises such a familiar sound
but they never ring true, don't mean a thing to hear
like someone i can trust to disappear
silence, it's easier
violins on tv sweetly fade
with the promises we made
rsvp'd
but i'm sleepy
dreaming i was
somebody that you could love
woke up to find
im someone you would love to leave behind
someone you can trust to let you drown
someone you can trust to let you down

Bike Lane

best in the bike lane
left when the fight came
hanging a right, wrong way
head lights say,
"hey!
i am an object
you are a puppet so strung up,
it's just my luck to get to be
the sport that shortcut you free
pucker up and kiss me"
swerve in a split sec
saving my slit neck
bleed indifference
dollars and cents
at your expense
set myself
up but
foiled again
that meddling
instinct keeps me peddling
sweet reflexes,
all respects,
stay out of my fucking business
play the witness...

Glisten
02:58
|

the glowing and the moaning
the flowing serotonin
the birds are vermin and the bees
spread disease
and it catches
like matches kissing the street
anywhere you strike ignites
anyone you'd like i want to be
i guess i just get carried away...
(hey, play pretend
stay a superficial friend)
because the benefits abound and it's a big town
might not see me around
(hey, play the fool
maybe should've stayed in school)
it's just the lesson i've ingested on the street scarred
my sweet heart
the memories are in my arteries
in a kodak
saw an eye shift
such a throwback
to the big whiff
when i couldn't catch the drift
it's a message i receive, no code to crack
yet the last thing i'd believe, in an almanac
still on a mission? are you missing?
will you swim, shipwreck?
are you listening to wishes i've thrown back?
it's an ulcer i received slugging away some agony
like the pulse under the sleeve chugging away at such a speed
learned a lesson i refuse to impress upon the youth
no confession, don't accuse
it's useless to guess who
still on a mission. are you missing?
will you swim, capsized?
I saw it glisten in the ocean of your eyes.

Sunday's Eve
02:22
|
|||
you're stretching yourself so thin
fitting to slip through the pin-holes
in those window screens
but you stuck around like cement
so I sound this lament
to vent our season of seething
here's to the walls
holding you back
ear to the wall
with your fingers all plugging every crack
let's let this flood come carry away
all of the pain, circle the drain
dissolve the obligation
blood sweat tears & motivation!
get out fast don't fret to cast a net to catch a breath
to hold it in
til me & you are starting to turn blue
to comply til we die and fucking waste it on a sigh or a new excuse
here's to the walls
crumbling to the rhythm of the downfall of capitalism
ear to the wall
can you hear the water
dog, this dam's like lamb to slaughter
so let this flood come carry away
all of the pain, circle the drain
dissolve the obligation
to some rich kids on vacation
while at your station it's caffeine like gasoline
as the time escapes us we degrade into machine
so spend all the extra hours picking pretty flowers to give to your queen

Cover
02:47

i'll cover like a show
spend a few bucks, show up late, then escape
but you cover me like snow
another late shift, the dead with a blanket
mother please uncover me
kill the mystery
spill til it's empty
let it run like rain through my veins, truth is pain
let it stain my shirt, remain like dirt, my just deserts
you're covering like fire
i'm smothering it
from
another planet
so cmon, tell me true
pull me through
cuz i'm stuck like glue
it's taken me a century
to tell you what you meant to me
it seems as though a ghost has guested
on every track looking back
hid a harmony
[it was a blanket statement
just got tha front of a book
that thing was not ur medicine
it was just wat u took
{lips hidden, underhand that feed}
take it from me and eat it up like feed
its wat u need, u need, u need, u need]

Tailgate
03:42
|
|||
seven sick souls
full of needle holes
fill up the cathedral
stairs
sharing prayers
but heaven is full
full of people
made that shit illegal
so get your shit straight
or you can tailgate
blessed be thy medicine
heaven came and went again
a sacramental bread crumb trail
to hands all full-a-nails
it's cold as holy water ice
here outside your paradise
aint it such a sacrifice
bearing the burden, always averting
chosen eyes, closing the curtain
when i'm dead, amen
got a fail safe plan
tailgating at the gates of heaven, man

Present

well you can't buy yourself yourself
doesn't come in boxes on a shelf
unwrap me baby
i got a bow tied im on the inside
well you can't sell me all that junk
im a big spender not some punk
i got a place we
could get a taxi kiss in the back seat
fill me up, i'm your sock drawer
thrill me like a big score, knock me up like a locked door
take me til you got more than you bought me for
as we step off that carousel
sex was intersection not parelell
drop me at the bottom of the well well well
toss a couple packets of silica gel
cuz i'm happy baby
can't buy a copy
i got a free me
sealed yet used, it's a condition
feels like new like a new edition
stealing two seconds with you
out of the blue, out of the blue minutes

Mona

she cracked the sky like a bank vault
spread love in rainfall
i felt so shy going awol
stayed dry to play cool
dripping bullets of regret
like i fell into an ocean, treading sweat
slipping sideways, scripted my days, phrases to forget
for fear of getting wet
but i suppose the prose
never would've led to a pile of our clothes
on the carpet by the bed
how it happened in my head
just harping on some thread
a storyline, brittle twine
that was tangled up so tight
it'll never be untied
to knit a blanket
our ship, I sank it
to swim the sea
of what could be
if only I could harness
the confidence to take a chance
the serenity in floating free,
a lonely piece of garbage
such a crutch to cling to
bit too much to then chew
threw up a song to sing you
when the ocean between us freezes i'm strapping on skates
stop laughing, save the date cuz i'm for real
explosions in a dead sky over ice nine shine light on your face
i'm right in first place to seal the deal
[for a season I believed you
all charming, alone up on ur beach
but there’s a reason people keep you
at *arm's length* and not at *arm's reach*]

listen molly i don't care
you can't come and meet me there anymore
it's a bad look for you
the flu is at the door
butcha can't hear knocking through'a sweet dream
hibernate through quarantine with a score
withdrawl. i'll call.
you disinfect your cell phone
next, your cell walls
feels like time to atone when you're alone
and running out running out running out of
the ashes in my fist that you survive with
listen molly i don't mind
you can call me any time of the night
i'm up, i'm stuck
the plug is still in my spine
there's a chill pill running through my blood
no refill until the flood or the flight
until we kill our appetite
does it feel time to atone
when you're alone
turning that stone
over for crumbs
sober postponed
then you're alone
