You May continue even if you feel like flies
When this radiation is keeping you in line
This world will let you have it
So go and twist your jawbone
Go home and pick out a spiral
Rehearse your paranoia
Can’t help but seize it when
Jangling conviction
My thought can skin me alive
Only music can provide shelter
Led off on a mystery
Lovingly human or something
Be yourself endure this life
Keep it flowing with your silly songs
Can’t help but seize it when
Jangling conviction
My thought can skin me alive
Only music can provide shelter

Promise me tomato for supper
Tears of corn for winter
Butcher paper for your mind
When it’s eating itself
Mustard green and plum
For you a stiff soda
Coca Cola calico
Your game is dangerous
Can we give up
It’s become so late
Have we truly eaten
Haven’t felt anything
Mustard green and plum
For you a stiff soda
Coca Cola calico
Your game is dangerous

Bleeding out
Accurate and free
They’re shrinking down now
Paralyzed with feeling
They’re easy to forget
But not dismiss
The students are catch phrases
And statistics
Death by your own hand
The kids are all pincushion again
Only garden statues
Watch them talking in circles

mob mentality

Pitchforks for fingertips
Mob mentality
It burns the city
You measure your worth
With a pressure cooker
Downtown avenue
Is now a kill zone
Citizens kill each other
Over petty shit
Table scraps and cancer
A slow slow death
Inherited a fortune
Keep that ball rolling
Lesure life entice the mind
Did you’re dazed and starved
Citizens kill each other
Over petty shit
Table scraps and cancer
A slow slow death

misery

|
Scraping up phantom tongue
Misery guitar sing
I observe and squirm
Pretty faces
Suffocate illumination
Transcendence is a dance craze
Emit a wave of venom eyes
Persuasive filth
Watching the eyes of human beings
Tongues that groom and pet
Coax one to fall in love
With the falling leaves

More of you
Less of myself
Occupy my mind
With something to feel
Give yourself meaning
Be done with the master
Remove your wounds
Consider your nature
Though you protest execution
You are an executioner
You will hang yourself
As often as you can
I consist
Of combustible carbon
Obsessive eternal routines
Tattered kids
Caught up in a karma bid
Rally yourself and your scars
Though you protest execution
You are an executioner
You will hang yourself
As often as you can

Strange thing to say
Seems you’ve found your place
Flashback junkie
Are you ok?
Take these memories
And come back
As fractals of joy
And unknown love
We fall apart
It’s a blessing
And now you’ll dream
In love always
Always
Quiet the mind
To be at peace
Instead of stuttering
To be inspired
Its in my heart
To rattle
I must remember
Never be silent
We fall apart
It’s a blessing
And now you’ll dream
In love always
Always

There’s no truth to you
Only psycho courage
From affordable street drugs
We grew up where the river bends
With your zebra muscles
and plenty of kerosene
Anxious as this river
Us rats cannot sleep
When there’s so many playgrounds
To be burned
Stole your mothers liquor
We’ll make this winter
Feel like the fourth of July
Sidewalk will be our skyline
When everything burns to the ground
Seagulls shelter in our burned out hearts
Tiger lillies grow from our eyes
In some distant summer time
You said everything would be just fine

Here come the rats
You and the rest
Here come the rats
Information leakers
Here come the rats
Gather them up
Make them show
Your brutality
Here come the rats
A cheap thrill
Here come the rats
Nothing more than a rumor
Here come the rats
Local police save face
They save their place
Their capital
Pit ourselves against ourselves
Pit ourselves against each other
Here come the rats

sickness of a soul
let your suffering be your guide
the body will rebel
killing off the host if the heart won't follow
deliberate inquisition
are your actions aligned?
or is it insignificant?
we may be only nature
too much sorrow
when language is broke
too many minds
they languish in their memory
come back to the heat
it's a family blessing
sacred is the suffering of human love
so I surrender to myself
too much sorrow
when language is broke
too many minds
they languish in their memory

Pin down your roach and
Burn out your screen
Lacerate your batteries
Sputter spin
Don’t forget to purse your lips
Butter up your coffee cup
But you still can’t win
Pastoral soul
Hunger is a cruel task of an animal
My fatty liver
Is your bread and butter
A turkey dinner cannot dream
Family resembles screams
I watch as my future self
Begins to slither
Pastoral soul
Hunger is a cruel task of an animal

first time you fell in love
first time you fell for each other
carelessly grow your heart
that love
will only take you so far
when your flower talk is still so young and green
now this borrowed time is no longer just mine

Working hard to follow love
Working hard to find yourself
Working hard
How you’ve grown
Child
Silent blossom
Mama waits for me
Fathers asleep inside his head
In california
Never held your hand anyway
Grandmother is a photograph
collects as the dust in the silence
Of a bedroom
Mama waits for you
Water falls from cupped hand
As we hum on this plane
Water falls from cupped hand
As we hum I remain
Descending the staircase

Leave them in grace
Teach them a kind way
Grown in tandem
With your fear
Hatred is in our heart
Exhausted by the pressure and pain
Nervous system must obey
We fear what must be felt
We don’t
drifted In deep dreams where we reside
Human eyes see as human
Lumber from slumber to the new dawn
We don’t
drifted In deep dreams where we reside
Human eyes see as human can
Lumber from slumber to the new dawn
Leave them in grace
Teach them a kind way
Grown in tandem
With your fear
Hatred is in our heart
Exhausted by the pressure and pain
Nervous system must obey
We fear what must be felt
