I'm in love with the blood that I saw
Pull your skirt up, baby, let me see the truth
Love flows from those who harm you
Mercy kisses for the fascist in your arms
Keep me warm with the blood that I draw
Chase away the memories keep you awake
All the dreams I keep from you
Try to sneak in when I sleep
Draw your ear down to your soul, girl
Let its loathing make you smile
Let love nurse the pain inside you, dear
Blood will cleanse your heart in a little while
You know I'm alone for you
I'm your tyrant, baby, never say we're through
You unlocked my love when you fell
Now let charisma cast a spell
Like cobwebs over you, but
The sun sinks taking everything from me and you
Lie here and warm my side
Vacant and preoccupied

Oh My Darling

Oh my darling, I'm in love with you
Try hard enough, it'll feel right
If you want me, I will lie with you
Sleepless all night
Oh my darling, tell me, is it true?
Are we in love with a story?
We found romance in that lonely gaze
But even you and I bought the put on
And to my fright, I found the nights were long, as the days were long
Come hold me to your heart, but don't say that I'll fight for life
I don't have enough pride to suffer a broken heart
I could still believe when we were worlds apart
Maybe a gallant man would stay and play his part
But I'm enough of a wimp that I can make a new start
Oh my darling (You are gone and lost forever)
Oh my darling (Dreadful sorry, oh my darling)
And me
Oh my darling, remember how we saw
The fox scumble the polar night
With her tail in green magnetic light?
Didn't feel like we were in trouble then
And in that endless night I saw what I was afraid I saw
A vast expanse of sea and snow and that old familiar cold

Talkin

Baby when I'm talkin seems I'm always talkin about you
You say you like to listen to me talk about things like I do
But there's nowhere left to go from here
I got no other side
You can't talk so much and always tell the truth
Talk going round and round
Makes such a lonesome sound
I'm sick of always trying not to talk to everyone about you
'Cause they all know the story and it makes me feel like a goddamn fool
But I get too bored to listen
Don't give it back to me
I like talkin about you more than I like making love to you
It's so repetitive
Just like sex, it's a sedative
With a talk so glib and a knowing smile
But it sounds so deep that it drives me wild
I believe in you with the trust of a child
I should just forget but that's not my style
Baby when I'm talking seems I'm always talkin about you
Talkin talkin talkin everybody's always talkin
In the bar, in the street, at home between the sheets
And they're just bullshitting because they ain't got nothing to do
Bullshitting when you ain't got nothing to
I spit up my fear as advice
But I'm only trying to be nice

Lovin Life
04:20
|

Everyone around here
They want to rip your heart out
But I won't avert my eyes
Better dead than full of doubt
I can't wait to get old
And lie down and watch my garden grow
Feed the seeds that I have sown
Watch them all bloom from below
Looking for any sign of life
I gotta house and a kid and a wife
I wanna hold your bloody knife
I can't explain why I'm lovin life
Everyone around here
They want to put your fire out
You got those sad, pretty eyes
That make a man melt when you pout
But if they only knew
They'll give them dreams that will never ever come true
You freeze in those icy blues
Oh, so deadly when they soothe
And you love that charming lowlife
Clean him up and cure his blight
I can escape, so I think I might
Can't be still when I'm lovin life
Everyone around here
They love you when you burn out
Like dogs, they smell your fear
So smack them hard on the bloody snout
If you can stay out of sight
You're sure to stay out of mind
Don't let your love light shine
You'll make them violent, dumb, and blind
Wasn't looking, but I found a fight
I wanna hold your bloody knife
Doesn't matter if we set it right
And I'm a fool for lovin life

Adderall
Average
Below average
Just keep pace with all
Talk and squirm
Control myself
Learn to learn
Voices in the hall
Spacing out
Just found out
I flamed out
When I hit the wall
Sudafed
Unmade bed
My palms are red
I’m glad I got thick walls
I never knew
My strings were out of tune
Until you tightened them
And pretty soon
My mind bloomed
Shining and bright like a winter moon
And high and clear like the sun at noon
Temping now
Won’t stick around
Don’t know how
I’m too afraid to call
Never quit
Even if
I’m sick of it
Got fired from them all
Credit line
Wasting time
Impulse by
It’s my free-for-all
Auto crash
Mild whiplash
My headlight smashed
Spending all my cash
Talk to girls
I’m like a squirrel
Scared of the world
No bull kicking the stall
Bad at school
Everyone
Got ridiculed
Separate in the queue
Don’t feel bad
Anxiety not
So bad
Last doc got me all wrong
Descriptions
Or fiction
Just let me in
Gimme Adderall

Endless Transition
04:41
|
|||
|
Looking forward to another impromptu block of lavish time
Wipe away the shame of my glassy, brittle spine
Your soft limbs pull me in to your sanctuary
That I would accept if you were really free
Now here we are in endless transition
Moving toward a ghost horizon
Fairly warned and circumscribed
Where we've drawn the line
Our little room, so impersonal, but so safe and temporary
Just keep it dark, dark for me, because I don't need to see everything
I don't know if it's acceptance or resignation but I'll learn to like it
When you use your body to keep me at a distance
I watch your eyes smiling bright, and at the corners crinkling
And your breath sits hot and sweet on my dry lips
Disarmed and disarming, you refuse to wither in my awful gaze
And my heart sinks like a warship

I Need A War
03:10
|
|||
|
Saw a crow fly
And split the northern sky
It's been a while, it's been a while
Since news from overseas
We have too much to eat
And we are much to free
And nothing like a bullet
Can undeceive
So save your prayers for someone who cares
I need a war to keep myself in sight
I claim as a war as my own birthright
I need a war to keep my hope alive
I wage or else I won't survive
Follow your dreams
No matter how obscene
I do not write, I'm living out
My poetry
Don't waste my time with wasted lives
You cannot die if you're not alive
If war is hell
Then I wish you well
Our only joys, do destroy and be destroyed

Intruder
04:07

|
I got a spring in my step now
You put that bounce in my shoe
But when you told me "Don't bow right down"
Well, girl, I couldn't swallow that
You feel that chill coming off me?
It's got the stink of home
Because I wanna roam
Don't wanna cure my heart of diseases
Don't need to keep it pure inside
Don't need to to find out all of the reasons
That lonely hunter stays by my side
The heart is an intruder
A saboteur knows how to bide its time
If you want love that gives sugar forever
That's punishment for a victimless crime
Now I can carry my own baggage
I never lay it to the side
But when it's time to go down that road, well
Girl, who's gonna follow whom
I want you walking beside me
I wanna look in your eyes
I wanna know if they'll tell me lies
Or make me go blind

Yer Boy

Oh sugar don't and hide
Come and take my hand
We'll make love by the riverside
Hey do you wanna go?
Let's go get wet and muddy
And when you're so carefree
I love the look in your eyes
They get a freak glow
It's taken all my spine
Don't wanna be annoying
If you're so inclined
I wanna be yer boy
Baby when you're laughing at me
And when you're smiling wide
I wanna take you for a ride
Not gonna take it slow
When I say you look so fine girl
You just roll your eyes
And it makes me wanna cry
Because I love you so
I put it all on the line and you say
"Stop being so coy bubi"
Why, why, oh why can't you believe
I wanna be your boy
Oh sweetheart please don't say no
I'm freaking out 'cause I love you so
I'm looking for any old sign you'll say
You'll be mine
Now it ain't no crime, girl
To give me some of your precious time
There's a big ol' world out there to know
But pride is stubborn, baby, I know

All Night All Right
04:55
|

|
Get your coat on, let's pick somewhere
Somewhere safe that we'll call home
Don't ask me where 'cause baby I don't know
I don't need riot's romance
Your flinty smile's enough for me
I fell in love with and the jacquerie
Don't want to hear about adventures I don't
You're out there looking for all night
Every night
All right
I want to hear you maunder
About the love that overthrows
And beauty that you see in struggles that you'll never know
Now I know you're in your glory
When you're slumming like the wretched do
Because it mutes the noise between me and you
Don't want to hear about desires and delights
You're out there looking for at night
Every night
All right
You looked so happy at the demonstration
The intersection of identities
It was so terrific, it was soporific
And I was right there for you, girl
A kind word and a derisive smile
Coming from the same fear that makes me so servile
Don't want to wait for you to decide it's time to leave
So go get swallowed by the night
Every night
All right
You tell I'm a hoary baby
And honey pie, I'd argue if I could
I look like a man who never had a boyhood
I guess I never learned to act right
Can't get along, but how I wish I could
And how it got this way, I never understood
Don't want to hear about the way it used to be
Or sift through our broken past all night
Every night
All right
