peach bruise

i could pretend and sit still
and do whatever you wanted
but that wouldn't get us very far
make light of the past
turn off my morels
but I could never look you in the eye
back to square one
it's awful you think
you're not in the wrong
when the world came out and backed it all up
leaving me out to speak
hand out, no contact
and friends that don't want to bruise the peach
we're back to square one

business handshake
02:48
|

|
are you lying thru your teeth
hands see cloth lining your jeans
only in it with a business handshake
the kind that barters your will to live
ties the knot and won’t forgive
signed by oath with several witnesses
to hold you by your word
oh.. to be lying thru your teeth
what makes you think that I’d believe your story
hand in jeans while trying to scheme
eyes don’t pop, they dart and weave
ready to burn at any given moment
watch and learn
i can play too
mouth forward
words backward
tongue twisted
fingers caught crossed
(well look at the cards you hold)
happens a lot
and I don’t know where to start
play off of paranoia
play with all the cards
(well look at the cards
you hold)
happens a lot
happens all the time
they’re ready burn
are you ready too?
(are you lying thru your teeth
hands see cloth lining your jeans
only in it with a business handshake
the kind that barters your will to live
ties the knot and won’t forgive
make me believe your story)

running the 500m

can’t complain
but everything went wrong today
felt insane
convoluted pain
i just wanna
scream at the sun
bag it up and run
fly thru potions
doctor me all up
it’s all the same
a magnifying glass
a vicious test
to see how we play the game
scream at the sun
bag it up and run
fly thru potions
doctor me all up
do you believe in love?

catwalk
02:12
|
|||
|
you’ve got tunnel vision
walking last years catwalk
not committing, or forming bonds with those around you
(everyone’s watching, everyone’s waiting)
tread lightly or you won’t get to smack talk
(maybe they’ve got an idol to play
might keep them alive another day, another day)
you’ve got tunnel vision
walking last years catwalk

side eye wagging
looking for a treat
selling it so
i’d come over
not quite close enough
can’t sit still and
now you’re dancing
arms hold on to me
back and forth
we sway til you say
trade for sweet delight
let’s do it one more time?
sleeping loudly
lily took your bed
now she’s watching
while I’m eying
all of your old toys
they lived many lives
on to their next home
while I’m so sick in bed
many miles away
no goodbye
side eye wagging
looking for a treat
selling it so
i’d come over
not quite close enough

fall back in line
back to mine
back inside
rain keeps me honest
snow keeps me guessing
wind keeps me wishing
sun keeps me dry
fall outside line

rain kept me
closer to your hands
mine keep rattling
back and forth
side to side
tell me
where do I need to go
down the road?
i’d drive in squares
listen to you
catch every (red!)
sometimes you just know
some sixth sense
rattling
down the road?
i’d drive in squares
listen to you
catch every (red!)
getting close
i’d drive in squares
listen to you
catch every (red!)

wallet
02:05

sitting patiently
waiting for the can
i’m waiting an opportunity
make a little noise
rummage thru the paper
kill off an invader
extra fun
wooo ; i’m all in on getting
food; make sure it’s one with the weighted top
in the freezer
is it ready yet?
just the way I like it
never ever been this overjoyed
i haven’t eaten in weeks
if a week was several hours
sliced into a bite size crunch
wooo ; i’m all in on getting
food; make sure it’s one with the weighted top
in the freezer
The one with the purple lid
in the freezer
see! I couldn’t believe it
when! I dug my teeth in-
to! sweet elation

gray and blue
you twirl your attitude
but now
your face has changed
you don’t know my name
anymore
bar and ghost
bookstore w/ a cloak
wearing thin
sliced thru needed skin
seeped into the floor
all the shows
what to show?
when everything ends with a gun
aimed right for heart
