Time hurts
Oh, I know
That bod
It starts to go
For a million dollars, you can live like this
For the rest of your life
Drugs, drugs, drugs
I crave death, rest, touch
Fried land, milk-thick crust
Dead-tied first place scum
And I don’t give a fuck about your family crisis
I’m here to slash R & D, baby, jack up the prices
I’m shakin’, I’m swimmin’ when Jeff rolls into town
So you can drown in your pennies or, you know, you can just drown
I’ll run you out of town
Alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright

Love is the only thing worth living for
Love is the only thing that I’m good for
When I’m sleeping, it’s a chore, when I’m dreamin’
When I’m sleeping, it’s a chore
When I’m dreaming, I’m looking forward
There once was a girl from Connecticut
Auburn eyes, it was nice
But nothing rhymes with Connecticut
Fuhgettaboutit
When I’m sleeping, it’s a chore
When I’m dreaming, I look forward
When I’m sleeping, it’s a chore
When I’m dreaming

My generation was the biggest waste of 9/11
I’m not worth
Thirty thousand fuckin’ dollars
A doddering toilet said to me advice he was sure I sorely needed:
“Before you get to heaven, reap the spoils of the 7/11
Lucky Strikes and lotto tickets,
65 and that’s my ticket
That or maybe certain death”
Trip to the vineyard, baby, wanta Fanta?
I wanna pick you up in a beige Elantra
Red rover, we call the limpdick over
Us huddled masses of insurance gophers
Before you get to heaven, see that you’re weak when you’re independent
He defeats you, kids in ball pit
Ockham’s razor, love’s a wallet
That or maybe certain death
Capitulation, you’re the sweetest plum I’ve never tasted
I’m not worth
Thirty thousand fuckin’ yen

Red glare
You don’t want a seat down there
You don’t wanna know
Where broken edges go
Go.
Your hand frozen in virtue
Handles and steam tethered anew
Your words eroded in primordial dirt
Is when I burn for you.
The need to hurt
Will take me through my sleep
The need to hurt
Will take me through my sleep
When it’s cold enough
Hell’s living love
Your jaw clenched til you grin
That’s where I hope you can come find me
I tuck the needle deep in place
To keep the veins thin blue
When you get pale, you turn away
You know this’ll be you too
With your crow’s feet, the strollers
The Lyrica back roller
The great beyond has such aching mystery.
The need to hurt
Will take me through my sleep
The need to hurt
Will take me through my sleep
When it’s cold enough
Hell’s living love
Your jaw clenched to a grin
That’s where I know
Where I hope
You’ll find me.

t’s true
I always needed men like you
To get me through
To break the dinner table ruse
You always do
Rewarded with grey Bermuda stares,
It’s fair
Rewarded with grey Bermuda stares
‘Cause what you have to give
I feel so deluded to think it’d stay
It’s true
I know I’ll leave before you do
In blue
And sadly miss you keelin’ over me
The wake will only be for you.
And for what it’s worth,
I never liked your parties anyway.

Soup for My Family

In a craze from temptation
You ravage the nest
A self-imposed prisoner
Each day you forget
You’re chained down to a rock
Eagle picks at your liver
Sent of your own accord
The only way you can deliver
Your blood boils
As it fuels your pride
Forget the poison it carries
Each day you forget
You’ll drown yourself in the river before it’s over
Over.
Over.

Wandering eyes
Darting eyes
Suffer the Alice Window
Wandering eyes
Darting eyes
Migraines shake the lakes of rest
And suffer
Every day is like breakfast in bed
And yet every day I feel so bad
Water’s fine in December, water’s mine
To open and suffer
And open and suffer
And open and suffer
And open
More
More
More
I don’t want more

I’m going to do it
I’m going to do it
You always said take responsibility
Claim Valhalla
Daddy
I’m going to do it
Like we’ve said for such a long time
And simmer is the boy cast in hellwater sunshine
Hot eyes
Crusted in smoke
The clown at the end of Robin Williams’ joke
Damp eyes
They never spoke
They never looked beyond the glass upon which they choke
So now you comprehend the lumps in your neck
As if there was even a choice
When the only wage of sin is death
I’ll rake the millions with some poise
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty
Tell me that you can’t ignore me
Tell me that you need me sorely
Tell me every day destroys you
And time, time, over and over
And time, time, heavenly sun
It kills to try again
The irony bypass operation
I never contributed anything that wasn’t referential garbage
Look on the bright side, you tried
Look on the bright side, it’s fine
Another Pigeon Man gone to the sun
Sun
I want a place to flourish
I want a place to flourish
I want a place to flourish
I wanted more than life could ever grant me.
