yesterday i woke up
and we were kids
and then i went and blinked
fast forward 13 years
yesterday we smoked pot
in the woods
as quickly as we could
but now its legal in massachusets
yesterday i took a derivative
not knowing what that is
felt like a genius
yesterday
we tried the dominican
and got really sick
haven't vacationed since
and i don't like
bee lining towards
the light
slow down and make it right
slow down and take my time
yesterday i got flipped
over on my head
thought i was really dead
thought i'd never walk again
yesterday i very quickly realized
that mixed martial arts
are not for jewish guys
i don't like
bee lining towards
the light
slow down and make it right
slow down and take my time
i don't like
bee lining towards
the light
slow down and make it right
slow down and take my time
yesterday
i got you really drunk
that was really fucked
said sorry to your mom
yesterday we took a sec
to meditate
at your mothers wake
she was really great

it's always on
my narration

waiting and watching
preening and posturing
i'm fucking nauseas
bleak
my prospects

my outlook
bleak
my sonic
vomit

it's so exhausting
being and nothing
dancing
and talking
hoping for something
it's so exhausting

Tim
02:44
|
|||
|
I look for Tim
any way
That I can
I wanna find out
If hes really the man
I look for Tim
In the deep dark night
In the trees by the moon
In the streets by the lamplight
I look for Tim
In the halls at school
In the corridor's echo
Empty and smooth
I look for Tim
At the party of a friend
In his worn down kitchen
Where the introverts stand
I look for Tim
When it's time to go
and on my way out
I scan all the rooms
I look for Tim
At the art store
In the aisle for
recycled paper
I look for Tim
later on that night
when i draw him to life
I look for Tim
Does Tim look for me?
Big doubt there
Think he's got plenty
I look for Tim
But I wouldn't
Know what to do if I found him

she's laying in my bed
with her head in her hands
and i think i have to go again
float
uptown
through the underground
through the sea of frowns
and I smile like
i'm ever only kidding around
but she's ruining my act
with her ass
in my lap
and i think i have
to hurl in the back
yeah she's peeling off
my gums with her
sandpaper tounge
and think i need to
run
well you led me
on i thought this
was something
but i was wrong
i was stupid
and you were done
i was new to this
and you were a veteran
but she's playing with my life
while my heads in her thighs
and i think i
need to run home to cry
but i forget who i am
when my members in
her hand
and I think everythings good again
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
i look down
and laugh
you've passed
right out
your eyes blink open
you smile
and the
light comes
gushing out
we talk for awhile
about getting a dog
then you ask me
when you'll get to
hear my new song
and i laugh again
and you do too
we don't really know
what's funny
and we never do
but that's the thing
with being one
you rarely have to talk
i count your
vertebrea
one by one
and imagine
what you'd like
as a skeleton
passing on doesn't
seem so bad
laying here in
our mixed up sweat
the bed leaves a
dent in the wall
by our heads
like a
plaster monument
sheets of light
from the setting sun
cut up by the shades
gave us stripes today
and colored the
room so warm
an autumn candle
a jack o' latern
a skeletal cat
that yells
when handled
the glow
below
the sheets
and your
head nestled
in my
shoulder
you leg drapped
over my everything
and I
feel so good I
might cry
I know
this feeling
will be gone
by the nightime
but i
feel like i can
die

You Never Did Try
02:00
|
|||
|
you say you wanted to
but never do
and now the days go
on and on
and you're just
swept along
but its a short
sweet
step outside
and you'll be fine
you've known that all along
you've known that all along
all along
(you'll be wondering why)
no you never did try
all along
you say you're older now
and don't know how
you doubt if you
should try at all
you're scared of the fall
but it's drop so small
you've seen worse
try
before you can't
forever
forever
forever
you'll be wondering why
you never did try
no you never did try
forever
one life
one time
one night
to right
my ride
you'll be wondering why
you never did try
no you never did try

sonny blessed my brain on the phone tonight
sonny blessed my brain from virginia
and i saw a friendly light
tunnel open
from her heart to my head
softly spoken
i won't forget
i was on a family trip
to puerto rico
i was 10 you were 20
so this must of been
about
oh,
a decade and a half ago
and you said
they call it a black hole
because even light
gets trapped on the inside
and i started to cry
though to this day
i don't know why
god laughs at all our plans
so when i'm jittery and nervous
man i'm just jokin
can't you tell i'm being funny?
can't you tell the punchline is
forthcoming?
brace yourself
for maximum entertainment
premium hilarity
and of course,
vigerous masturbation
okay, enough
I said:
sonny blessed my brain on the phone tonight
sonny blessed my brain from virginia
and i saw a friendly light
tunnel open
from her heart to my head
softly spoken
i won't forget
that
sonnys been around
real long
and if she says
my brain is good
i guess i was wrong
who am I to doubt
this old girl
that's been around the world
oh sonny
thank you sonny
for blessing my brain on the phone tonight
for blessing my brain from virginia
and i saw a friendly light
tunnel open
from your heart to my head
softly spoken
i won't forget you, sonny

You Will Be Amazed
02:36
|
|||
|
you will be amazed
to find yourself
missing
from the thoughts
of people you love
and you will be amazed
to find that
you dont
think about
them much at all
also
you will be amazed
by the blooming tree
of endless responsibility
and you will be amazed
by the canyons in your face
by how quickly you can age
you will be amazed
by the passing of the days
you will be amazed

Ask Me If I'm A Tree
03:10
|
|||
|
should you neglect your roots
all your leaves
will curl up and die
and without the leaves
on the trees of you
what can we say survives?
what can we say survives?
what can we say survives?
what can we say survives?
should you forget your past
all your flowers
will wilt and
turn to ash
and your sap
will vanish
leaving a hollow bark
to mourn every sunrise
they will nourish you not
they will nourish you not
they will nourish you not
they will nourish you not
will i ever know again
whats its like
to have a blossom
in my head?
should you place false blame
the creatures
who call you home
will desert you
and ignore you
and leave you to the passing days
to watch
with idle eyes
the sun come down and rise
the falling of your withered
branches
counting down your time
but you don't wanna say goodbye
you wanna stay alive
you wanna stay alive
alive
alive

Book Talk
03:05
|
|||
|
i saw you giving
a book talk
oh you looked
so smart
in your jacket
i guess that could have
been me
had I not
wound up
on a diverging
trajectory
it's been a weird
week
in fact
it's been a weird whole life
it's been weird
14 billion years
since the creation of darkness and light
on the car ride home
i stared out the wet window
and wondered
when the sun explodes
will people have a new home
and i thought about
my situation
compared it to the world's
and laughed
if you have to laugh at
something
I suggest you laugh
at that
crawled through
the front door
and straight to bed
content
i'll call you in the morning
i won't say i went to your
book talk
just so I can ask you how it was

I Am the Fantasy
03:26
|
|||
|
tonight i rode a direwolf
with a severed head
into bed
laid siege to my nightmares
they never saw it coming
so when i woke up covered in sweat
i found i had a finger less
and the deathly hallows
heavy
on my chest
in the morning
i'll wake up
headed for the heart of the sun
to find the coin that will rule my realm
a new oath to swear for myself
like:
"I swear I will make you proud.
I will take back what was taken
from me when I was out"
I am the memory
I am the fantasy
I am the art born
out of darkness
turning white with heat
i am the sailor drowned
washed up on the ground
coughing
vomit
violent
vicious
twisting
screaming
loud
when i return
i will bide my time
but day by day
piece by piece
i will reclaim what is mine
and if i have to
burn you down
then burn you down I shall
i am the memory
the fantasy
the flames that scorch the ground

Cat
04:46
|
|||
|
i'm a cat
with no land
but that's fine
cause what i like
is being at your side
like a dog
on your lap
we'll be
best friends
and in your warmth
all the answers
i lack
but did
you ever think
of little old me
shivering in the cold
tail tucked low
paws
and nails
teeth and tails
i'm
going
under your skin
you're gonna love me
like kin
in your warmth
i'm gonna
burrow my nose
but did
you ever think
of little old me
shivering in the cold
tail tucked low
and did
you ever think
of little old me?
waiting for your
touch
waiting for your love?
i'm a cat
but i'm gonna bark
and bark
i'm a cat
but i'm gonna bark and bark
