Holes in the Wall
You can't just lie to the hole
as you feed it
The walls are getting wiser
to the ways you've been
leaning
Leave this place and please
navigate your feelings
The showers gone cold
fallen stagnant
God I'm so
vacant.
as you feed it
The walls are getting wiser
to the ways you've been
leaning
Leave this place and please
navigate your feelings
The showers gone cold
fallen stagnant
God I'm so
vacant.

Blue
Almost home now
it don't let up
stomping mudpuddles downtown
with my favorite
Jean jacket on
Whats the point if I'm not
gonna end up with an arms length of
hope?
Right or wrong
lost in a fog and I'm choking back smoke
and all my best friends are gone
I'm speaking gibberish
Inside jokes just rotting
away in a mucky bog
I'm still swimming along and
I'm falling in
Almost home now
we ain't chill though
I'm choking back a croak
in the loneliest swamp
and it's so...

digging change out of couches for cigarettes, 2018
Static electric
blue taste in my mouth
and her tank tops
hanging off
Smoke lines the hall
and her gym shorts
are super soft
Her mouth is a portal
and I'm going to Heaven
Flying above the trailer park
blue taste in my mouth
and her tank tops
hanging off
Smoke lines the hall
and her gym shorts
are super soft
Her mouth is a portal
and I'm going to Heaven
Flying above the trailer park

too hard to tell
I am
insatiable
hunger
I am
glints
around the
corners
I am empty
and naked
laying down;
a babe in the woods
striving hard
to taste cancer
and ravenous
poison
I am exposure
I am
danger-thick
I cause disease
and cast famine!
And I'll rot
out
all your teeth
Revitalize a little
bit
through the skin of
your painstakingly
paid-for, prioritized
and well-thought-out
conversation piece.
You're missing a piece...

Stuck
Chained to the bed you didn't want
and forced to feel all these
haunted-house thoughts
as the oil in the canvas knots
keep you up
based off
a good feeling
these things
can work themselves out
The hot wax
of the candle
conceals a moth
Hardened wings
Tether things
right to where they
got caught
and forced to feel all these
haunted-house thoughts
as the oil in the canvas knots
keep you up
based off
a good feeling
these things
can work themselves out
The hot wax
of the candle
conceals a moth
Hardened wings
Tether things
right to where they
got caught

Mouse
Quiet as a mouse
but I'm falling off the tree
again
Hungry for wanting and woes and
thorns at my feet I'm still hanging off the branch
a bit
Let's get to the thick of it
Screaming alone in the car again
Screaming
"Kill me
Kill me
Kill me"
And nothing
listens.
Quiet as a mouse
my soul houses
breathlessness
but I'm falling off the tree
again
Hungry for wanting and woes and
thorns at my feet I'm still hanging off the branch
a bit
Let's get to the thick of it
Screaming alone in the car again
Screaming
"Kill me
Kill me
Kill me"
And nothing
listens.
Quiet as a mouse
my soul houses
breathlessness

Cut
I slide my hands across lines made from yearning
Silver-laced panties
will cut
clean away from
her hips
There's her sigh
and my laugh
as she pushes it in
sweet bliss

craven woods and broods of bats
Cold as the bone
and the leaf gets pulled
floating gingerly across
Riverbed and sediment
towards ill omens in the piles
of leaves raked up
Like the bat's?
Remember them?
They've caught up to us
Autumn winds nip
fires don't cut it
and you never know
who is who
in the thick
and the leaf gets pulled
floating gingerly across
Riverbed and sediment
towards ill omens in the piles
of leaves raked up
Like the bat's?
Remember them?
They've caught up to us
Autumn winds nip
fires don't cut it
and you never know
who is who
in the thick

and a chorus of maidens had sung
Crystal-cut tears made of
light from the moon
after years and years of
letting
all your magic go
Eyes stung like angels had sung
along the mountain a chorus
answers back only

They Cut the Trees Down
Whoa
they cut down the trees
outside of my window
and now the days don't glow overhead
no
its all overcast grays
in their stead
broken bridges lying flat
like dead snakes
And no hope grows
they cut down the trees
outside of my window
and now the days don't glow overhead
no

broken bridges lying flat
like dead snakes

The Giant's Fall
I'll bet you're probably thinking
that I'm running round like a
fucking chicken
with his head cut off.
Nah.
I scraped myself together and I
grew from the burn marks.
Ipso facto reaction.
Meaning if you got a stage
You'll be singing a
theme song
You get enough attention and
it all starts to sound wrong
You get enough attention
You think you've been
blessed by God.
And you're not
I got too big for my britches
I sang my own anthem
Called myself a giant ...

fucking chicken

Bridges
Could've happened to anyone
But it happened to me
Just keep the
pacing.
I'm done with bridges and I'm
crossed
left at a fork in the road
so I'll think for a second
or two.
Could've happened to anyone
But it happened to me
Could have drawn straws but it
would've been a
lost cause
Always with the hands
and the dipping of fingers
In the basket when we're not
noticing.
Shaking hands at dusk
We're facing a moral pause
We all hold our breath as
We bleed ...
But it happened to me
Just keep the
pacing.
