poise intact
02:04
|

no one ever tells you nothing ever feels right
they want you to be careful they want you to sleep tight
well i don't fold my hands
I don't look both ways
I opened a pass between my ears, it's all clear for you when you say
i care about things
i hope that you're well
better hope and kneel
it'll all be swell
i care about things
i never used to
you better hope and kneel
it's all you have we're all we've got
better line your sights and aim your shots
at center mass and hold your breath
obstinate death endocrine swell
I go to work, i go to hell
i do the motions
contort to pose
for better worth and whiter clothes
choose dialogue for browner nose
we're lazy lovers, meander sow me
directions for each and every day
you hold my hand i look away
watch knuckles stiffen, refuse contract
my grace is clean
my poise intact

a quarter turn
to the right
light my candles
hit the lights
it's too hot
sear my skin
two twitches clockwise
bring it in
to tolerable
three bottles now
soap and suds
signing out
a melody
a melody
rinse and repeat

nothing else
02:09
|

we fall apart in the strangest ways
we decompose in the strangest place
we've got our health we've got our cat
there's nothing else after that
just holding hands, biding time,
erasing debt, drawing lines
on my face, my hands move slow,
the doctrine promise, siren's low
song now composed

public pool yeah
03:02
|
|||
waking up from almost drowning
public pool now everyone's smiling
a thousand half filled balloons fall from the ceiling
newspaper confetti, "thanks for surviving"
another day, of mostly cursed
receipt paper, filed in your purse
diet soda, low fat milk
you picked your poison
you picked your risk
you picked your risk
you picked your
i don't know when
i started feeling
under floorboards, under meanings
co-dependence, start receding
slash burn farming, so much freeing
so much freeing

hell isnt a place, it is a feeling
of not knowing where you are
or where you're stepping
or how far, is too far
from my parents house and tether, tangled in
wishing "do better"
sever several seconds from each exhale
domesticate, suffer, suffocate,
and do it all again again again again
everything, green and overgrown
the things you want, the things you own
sever several seconds from each exhale
domesticate, suffer, suffocate,
and do it all again again again again
again
again
again
again
again
again

shark
04:52
|

my body fetal
wrapped in the asphalt
bird picked clean
bird picked clean
sticks and stones discovered bones it seems
where do the bodies go
where do the bodies go
i'm on the side of the road
i'm on the side of the road
when i finally go when i finally go
turn a flame to my flesh
it's my turn to sow
reinvest my bones
reinvest my bones
into flowers into the ground
i don't have it
I don't hurt the same anymore
if i'm numb
will i lose it will i lose it
shark circling the drain
if i stopped would i feel the same?
flames creep across the surface
dots crawl across the floor
shark circling the drain
sharp circling my brain
if i sever everything will i still feel the same?

when you stop the games
you start to pretend
what's better off is what's better said
i've seen it before
you're never happy
until someone else dies
and you can think clearly
with no one around
you're always alone
you look in the mirror, thinking two's better than one
who is he?
i always scream
with black eye bags
a perfect touch underneath
with the forest gone
we can bury the axe
black ice patch
4,000 pounds
you said that it's not slippery if you can see the ground
inertia ignoring signs
i wish that i had realized what had been mine
i wish that i had realized what had been mine
i wish that i had realized what had been mine
i wish that i had realized what had been mine
with the forest gone
we can bury the axe

breakfast bedhead
02:15
|
|||
the guiltiest sleep
while the guiltiest dream
of doing things right
every time
breakfast, bedhead
so sorry, storebought
dozen eggs - give way
i turn around and say
i heard you talking last light
circadia hums, fist fight
serpent tongues, spider drool
you made your home, i tossed around
everyone, everyone, everyone
decomposed, i watch you now
decomposed, i watch you now

no one knows the feeling
of being completely off
in the dark, we never stop
no one knows the feeling
of being completely wrong
except for me, I've heard your songs
but i don't ever want to feel like i don't have to try
if you're gone, i'm gone, we're gone, it's alright, it's alright
when you're going nowhere
you can stop thinking like you're wasting away
alone
between the fridge and the sink
we're okay
we don't have to leave
it's a party, a big birthday party
for something that we've never seen

nostalgia

careful cacophony
drumming on the steering wheel
we're headed home
we'll get there when we get there
we'll get there when we get there
careful cacophony
sonar sings! back and forth!
do you understand?
do you still feel?
are you still there?
are you still there?
everyone i know has held the things that i've held close
for so long, so long and never let go of
nostalgia, nostalgia
wish i could be part of your world
i only hear your voice through computers
a well assembled nightmare, i was in the front there
please slow down, watch the signs, please drive safer, as the crow flies I've been baptized in the sun
everyone i know has held the things that i've held close
for so long, so long and never let go of
nostalgia, nostalgia
everyone i know has held the things that i've held close
for so long, so long and never let go of
nostalgia, nostalgia

evaporating ecstasy
next to me
everything i used to hide beneath
a tattered sequence habit gone
generation loss with each and every one
generation loss with each and every
buried convictions
trusted guts
snare roll doldrums, caustic ruts
i lie awake next to you
frantic tomorrow's coming soon
what am i gonna do?

its been full moon flesh all summer
and sangria tastes like church
in the pews next to your brother
tithing hope you'll get in first
we're broken brake pads, 94 in white sedans
morning traffic, real life loading, hurts my hands
but now i'm bleeding from the hip with all my sins
i was baptized in your hot tub with the drunks and seraphims
now heaven's someplace different
it's handholding gracious pecks
I knew what i was doing
dante's ring's on your index
and now i'm burning
you didn't think you'd make it
there's grace still in your eyes
you saw god i saw a father
a reflection of disguised
growth in pure destruction
through the cull i feel the static
i've been staving off depression
with indulgence and commandments
but now i'm bleeding from the hip with all my sins
i was baptized in your hot tub with the drunks and seraphims
now heaven's someplace different
it's handholding gracious pecks
I knew what i was doing
dante's ring's on your index
and now i'm burning
now heaven's someplace different

claw
03:14

somewhere in the harmony
patient pretty things
candle wax and comforting
a hard wood floor synapse
and snap and snap and gasp and crack
troubled breathing lungs collapse
like circus tents more elephants
hold tighter on the reins
i'm somewhere in the harmonies,
blinders off- periphery
the guns go off, i bend and buck
try to leave but the door's still stuck
when everything you wanted felt so close
it always does
i claw and claw and claw and claw and claw
somewhere in the felt i freeze
press, dress, mess me up i'm free
to hold a pose, a statue of,
the men i'll never be
days of dishes in the sink
i don't have time to feed
the cat
but i can pet and pet and pet
i can laugh and laugh and laugh
when everything you wanted felt so close
it always does
i claw and claw and claw and claw and claw
when everything you wanted felt so close
it always does
i claw and claw and claw and claw and claw

louisville slugger against my ribs
turn and pivot
bend me over
louisville slugger against my ribs
everyone i've ever loved
tasted poison, turned to doves
12 gauge skeet shot, won't you stay?
I'll destroy us, i'll destroy us
it's better off this way

called you like twice at like 7 am
button up shirts and playing pretend
it's like you're the same when september begins
it's like you're the same when september begins
leaves turn to red you start coughing again
leave from the bed you start talking again
like time will not stop when you're missing your friends
but you're too weak to leave you start talking again
called you like twice at like 7 pm
button down shirts and playing pretend
i have a friend, lives in his basement
when you're underground there are no arrangements
to talk or fess up or forgive or forget
i'm cutting strings from the basketball net
by the end of the winter ill hardly be there
i'll melt forever somewhere
