Roman Candle
01:00
|
|
||
old stick shift with the stubborn clutch broken down in the high school parking lot where we wrote our names on that rock; red handed nights.
is it still there?
dirt clouds by that old abandoned house,
roman candle summer, gone forever.

Alabama West

|
|
||
as the sun sets over alabama west, i'm alone in a foreign country, and i keep thinking i'll never get back home.

Black Mass
00:27
|
|
||
told you how i dreamt the night i did not sleep alone. "you can make it on your own." and standing for the sun we saw a sister on the pond, i think i held my breath for too long.
who cares

your headlights are beating down on my back and i'm alone now.
and while stagnant i remain you'll keep in motion; i hate this more than anything.
my anxiety has yet to cease, but i'll hold out.
yet all that's been on my mind is curling into you in the summertime.

Third Eye
03:36
|
|

there’s a splinter in my skin but i think i’ll let it sit. and today i found a tick but i guess i’ll let it dig. they say “never have regrets” but the tattoo on my leg looks infected. now my face is turning blue, i’ve been coughing up my food. by tonight i’ll have removed another grownup tooth. ”and you look like someone else, let me nurse you back to health.” i don’t feel so well from these beat writers and all nighters by lamp light or by camp fire. seek new diners by state line or my type writer “i can’t find her.” i won’t smile or confide “i’d be all writer if i was a lit minor.” but tonight my drive buys her a third eye on her right thigh.

Dark Window
00:40
|
|
||
buried by the ground disturbed under dark window pane,
there's a question to be answered // there's a test for you to take,
there's a desolate place or at least that's what they say.

|

can't sleep for shit or live on your own, "goddamn just pick up the phone."
i quit a long time ago // gave up long ago
buy my blessing with fucking ice cream, "i'll give you all of my love."

Nightshade
01:44
|
|
||
who's to blame for my embarrassing name? someone gold in age but always turning young again. another car, "bless her little heart," when you sit down to pray she's calling out your name. forever young: i pierced my mother tongue. i'm always worried they've been sucking out my blood like when you said "i hope you're born again." well, i'll lay low my head to bathe me in vermillion.

Rotten Ones
02:03
|
|
||
under the floorboards in grandmother's kitchenette sit solemn grey presidents; "i'll wipe my mouth with them"
bring the rotten ones home and bury them in the ground, vegetable garden gnome will watch them grow.
living on your own is shit when you're alone,
bring my body home and bury it in the ground.

Apocalyptophobia
01:18
|
|
||
my backyard's the greenest i've seen it since i moved here six years ago,
the barn is gone but i remember it always;
so i need to stop being so scared,
but i can't sleep until i figure out what i stand for.

Bro Chillers

|
|
||
woo!
sometimes when i feel alright i bring myself down and i hold my mistakes in an underground place.
i can't be the one to dig them up next season, i cannot compete so give me one good reason.
give me one good reason... (ad infinitum)

Walking Home
02:05
|
|
||
i'm walking home. can i call this home? the snow is hard on my feet, the cold is rough on my cheeks.
i miss my "wife" since she left, i still taste her kiss on my breathe.
i wish i wasn't so cold, or terrified of getting old.
i'm walking home.
