City Unknown 01:46
Lost in the river, found on the floor Take what you get and I want some more Sift in a ticket, take what you get Sigh in a bucket and I want some bread Lift a certificate, city on loan Cry in the corner and I swear I'm not home yet I swear I'm not home yet Lost in the river, found on the floor Take what you give me and I want some more Sift in a racket, take what you get Sigh in a bucket and I want some bread Lift a indicative city unmoored Cry in the corner and I swear I'm not torn up I swear I'm not torn up Lost in the river, found on the floor Take what you give me and I want some more Rift in the alley, take what you get Sigh in a bucket and I want some bread Lift a certificate city unlead Cry in the corner and I swear I'm not dead yet I swear im not dead yet

There was a time in which we came to bed Open an eye and slit the aching frame Same as it ever was, same as it ever was Said it was prayer words, said it was their words There was in a time in which we got to bed Open the blinds and quit the aching flames Sated the bloodlust, sated the bloodlust Said it was prayer words, said it in their words This isn't a joke, listen to me Listen to me I cant help you Wait for rain boat shipwreck island Save the day with time to spare me Lies and tastebud wrinkled eyelids
3.
I don’t know why everyone’s so Happy with the way it’s been I’m dying here Dying with the window open Just don’t know why everyone’s so Satisfied with how it’s been I’m dying here Dying with the front door half ajar Leave me out to run Everyone’s an actor Straddling the bend Bend too far and you break down That’s a risk that I’m willing to take Say my name Say I existed Everyone’s a player Cupping tattered rules Catch the runoff and covet So insightful I bet you win big Everyone is a layman Straggling to catch up Posing posturing prolapse So delightful When checkpoints save you

Riddled diamond floor Sumptuous and bland Illustrative action, actually Criticize the king, superego swims Salad from a bottle, Krispy Kreme Little faith in love, illustrative stop (Creeping veins don't pull) Gap in all your measures, windy town (Itchy skin and flash) Crashed into a lake, frozen icecap bake (Wet deniable) Shame in all the orifice, artifice (Silly me) Sarin on a boyfriend Gas into the walls Irrespective of of the cost To fade it all away
5.
Lackluster erasure in a fiddle box canoe Tipped over like a wedding bell On sunburnt afternoons Held your head in silence While the leaves caressed the wind A voice unduly echoed All the shit we couldn’t say without a win Winter was an octave, a layer within itself The lake had frozen over And the fish were fighting tooth and nail To swim out to the ocean And we both observed this fact But the silence was getting heavy And chessboard couldn't hold it back There was something keeping you in place Like a talisman erected in your name But the words were wind-scarred and illegible The meaning was ambiguous Heavy handed criticism rang like a cowbell Intruding on potential to connect But the words were wind-scarred and impenetrable So the meaning was ambiguous Unless? Crowdfunded emotion With a paperback perfume The sense was all but abandoned At the first sight of the silhouette That rimmed your contact lenses In a pencil-darkened room With a patty-cake confection Piled up on suitcase photographs, which Listed all the grievances The petty drunken fights The tallied fuckings-over In a houseboat lit at 4am With fireflies caught at daybreak But in the intervening hours A sad sonorous whisper Or a groan, It’s hard to tell these things apart Let's just go to night court Let's just go
6.
Symptoms come and stay away I forget what they were I send SOS signals in code Semaphore, send me more of your Love is something sad but sweet and sour Pint of rice, tell me three times and its over Every day I lie awake and wait For something buzzing in my manse This dance is late by several hours And second chances kill me
7.
There’s a light I won’t wait for you to see me Never wanted love that you and I could have Everyday In between the lines, crackled flashing swine Everyday Listicle in twine, data points arrive In a K
8.
Breathe deep, compromise my skull Chloroform, basket casings Leave me to waste away in a pile of shit Lincoln logs smeared with strawberry jam Crave a single drop, honor the melting pot Love without a care in a hole, save the day Save it He's comin atcha
9.
Lower me in a vat of salt with a thumbs up I sink into the wind, you sink into my skin Overthought the whispering Nalgene Vodka and a sip of something sour Flour, a ripped bag- poured into the sink Vodka and a sip of something sweet Christen me with a bed of ice 'til the shakes stop Carve a "C" in the papercut 'til it heals up Case the scene 'til the pattern drops To awareness Check your mirrors Inspect the bugs in the bedframe They're watching us, aren't they?
10.
Theres a scene that never comes Over me and now its gone Pink and green and salad sweet Coronate the silken sheet Wade in the river, sleep in the dock Collapse in the corner, look at the clock There’s two inside you There’s two inside The wolf of Bank Street and Herald Square Collapse in the gutter, look at the fare There’s two beside you There’s two beside There’s a lake that never runs Hydro-powerful and sun Sick position on the train Lie awake and never stay

Where do you get these Dad jokes and credit card receipts Blood from a stone an empty bathrobe And I try to increase The record player’s speed, Broke off the needle in my toe Nail clipped a hangman looking downward And I try to inject Some semiotic Semblance of failed delirium Come from a cone an empty balance The gyroscope is Widening and slouching thin Broke off the needle in my thigh Gap toothed, an idiotic recluse And I try to inspect Leaving up to chance, a catalyzed relic We belong to death Comes naturally, an automotive ending Sleeves pulled from the edge Meet me at the bridge, an illustrated adage Edict from the brain Stem solves the set, unless the mirror shatters Pieces on the bed Silk, loss, air, foil Lick, desk, floor, fort Leave my brain freeze Alone with pop rocks

You’re coming for the waves You’re leaving with a scrape You’re leaving with a mark Or maybe it was James Or maybe it was Love, beneath your windowpane Full memory, the secretary’s got a gun It’s fun to live in a high flyin’ society We live in a-, you know how it goes Or maybe it was hate Beneath your sad satin sheets Stained seven times The minster's got a word The word is incandescent But can you spell it Can you spell “north"?

I never saw you (Just an idiot who loved a lack) And you were broken (But I’m talking 'bout my Self[doubt]) The mirror saw you (But I’m in between lines and jabs) The causal token (It was a miracle) We survived Killing me was a start I thank you for that mercy Now I can put this to rest Over several hours Our time in bed Was a godsend I would have unraveled Now I can finally get rest If only for several hours Breaking me was the start That I needed The irony’s not lost Medical grade syringe Image and tense reflection God it’s so fucking sad How I -- And you -- What a fucking shame I guess it was what we were used to?

This is the end Nothing left to say I've said it all Put this to bed Nothing left to say Go to bed
