low road/high dive

we took the same route going different places
headed south-south-west best wishes wasted
ended downtown at an old local favorite
got a drink to savor it
saw your face & a smile on it
saw my fate, spend a while wanting
well, i'm taking the high road
the other's underwater
taking the red pill with the blue
because the dread kills
and the two combined might make my mind
a little less set on a low road dive
tried patience and masturbation
but that lady luck's one long fuckin day
and i tried to talk it out but i just couldn't see
the forest for the trees
for all those pretty leaves...
I saw your face & a smile on it
saw my fate, i'll spend a while wanting
closure
or just a closer look at that light
reflected in water
in which i'd once set my sights on
now the vast ocean looks like a big pond
i consider a dive
of a different kind

this is a part of living
taking, breaking, and giving
this is happening moments
apart from the romance
of living lost in a lustrous lack
taking control again
breaking your soul and then
giving it back
giving all these pieces back as new
like a perfect face all black and blue
blue sky bruise. I heard the news
distant thunder back home under you
i'm not under the weather,
here held together with wonderglue

jacob, wake up again
vomit holy medicine
jesus, your mess to mend
amen to peddling
washington, gosh it's fun to fend
death off with adrenaline
leaking liquid, like a sick kid content
in tarnished trophies up on a shelf
and talking to himself
im talking to myself
im talking to myself
but his anxieties are really trying me
he says "it's my birthday,
hurt me, throw me a line,
a left hook, sex ed textbook"
oh, it checks out, you're up next now
ring that lucky bell
welcome to fucking hell
a thirsty cup first dries up the well
so sew shut those tear ducts
savor all the sweat
savior turn our
water
red
ready and wilted
sinking shithole rush
fed and getting tilted
drink up, little lush
christ, he sacrificed me to have fun

sex in the city of love

there's nothing like listening
to the last laugh, first act,
any trash to pass the generation of abasement
it's a classless, half assed,
therapeutic way to lose it
success in this city,
city of love
is a brotherly shove
to smother the sparks on the rug
so focus on your pity
it's the grittiest drug
for the prettiest mug
and cover the marks on your arms from the hugs
and a hundred fuckin shrugs
smoke and melatonin
it's a cheap high, sleep my
days away and waste my graced nights
stationed in a basement
we conceived on
sentiment, and it went like
success in this city,
city of love
is a brotherly shove
to smother the sparks on the rug
so focus on your pity
it's the grittiest drug
for the prettiest mug
and cover the marks on your arms from the hugs
and a hundred fuckin shrugs
we're in the midst of
all of this petty love sickness dammit
it's an epidemic
so in the meantime
we gotta try to find
satisfaction in a lack of action
