voices
it's 2am and all I want is-
couldn't make it to the porcelain
there's something wrong with me
but I tried
this is the bed / this is the mandolin
this is the captain / this is the broken frame
this is the phonto / this is the timeline
this is the dateline / this is the empty threat
I can't get it right
I can't get right side up
I can't get it upside down
what did I write
what did I say
I can't get it
what did I write
what did I say
what did I feel
why did i

bleed for me now again
weep for me down again
sleep for me now and then
weep for me now amend
offer me up
from me, now
start, whispers from the backyard
it's an auto-da-fé with a lemonade
seek, seeming to remember
mike's manic display with a scepter
sartre wasn't such a bad guy
on a battleship stain with a medium
leek sitting in potato
it's the farthest I've been from home
hold your knee
hold your tongue

Memphis

took a long time to reply
took a while to get back to memphis
where you were
bus seat stained with the sauce
salt licked clean
but it's memphis to which I'm going
and it's always been my dream
to be held by you
in an alley without my bones
and your skin, it tastes like cherries
and the rats will eat
right beside you
but they won't look
there was a sign, an exxon sign in the rain
but the neon light was inadequate for the shame
took a long time to indict
took a long while to get back to the jury
with an envelope
wood grain stained with a lie
pasta strainer left back in a box
with a post-it note
and it's always been my dream
to be held by you in a courtroom
with the windows closed
and your skin it tastes like anvils
in a parking lot... god, I hate this
I hate this whole mess

"think fast!"
don't drop, don't catch viral load
"eat up!"
don't eat, don't swap the golden
(egg drop)
noodle, pool fight, "don't drown now,
sink fast!"
don't smell, don't ride the wave to--

meet me in the dining room
and we'll wait out the rain
something's in the mystery box
something stinks and we'll root out the main
culprit by process of elimination diet orange
slice off my face
on an acid trip with acid wash jeans acid rain
oh there it is
slice off my face
there seems to be something to this
with some luck we'll make it through this
turbulent patch, sweet and sour patch
"kid you fucked it up"
take away the, take away the-
rain falls down and it goes up
the walls close in
you fill your cup with
"kid, you fucked it up"
meet me in the living room
and we'll wait out the storm
king, you dropped this
we can't stop this
fall asleep without filling a corn
down to a nub, it's amputation time
the talk show host is utterly losing his shit
pants on fire, watch the wire
season 4, it's coming back to me
slice off my face
tell me
I'm so sad and lonely
nothing to do
nothing to say
can't go to sleep
can't stay awake
guess I'll just stay in the liminal space
(ahhhhhh)
liminal space
I'm so sick and tired
nothing to eat
nothing to shit
can't bite my tongue
can't shut my mouth
guess I'll just shit in the liminal space
(ahhhhhh)
liminal space

"clean your room," they said
it was a sorry ending
"light the candle," they said
blinking lights
mirrored nightingales
face reflected in the dark
whispered sighs saying something smart
take the biscuit
put it in your mouth
pray the consequence isn't to the degree
to reach the sound machine
the one that's primed to be the receiver
the great deceiver
health food ___ battered bride
health food ___ battered bride
kill me
I remember what you said
never forget what you said
"clean your room," they said
it was a fitting ending
"light the curtains," they said
I guess it was worth a laugh
"clean the mess," they said
it was a worthy ending
"light the blankets," they said
I guess it was worth the wait

it was september when we met
wires crossed across state lines
remember, damn you
cell phone record erased
salad fork in the wrong place
interrupt speech to speak a word
"a word, if you please"
*everybody dance now*
crybaby, cry, baby, cry
don't be my baby for long
I was right
when I left(stayed)
when I, uh
*everybody dance now*
AIM+ record encased
USB in the right place
interrupt speed to speed up again
it was november when we met
chips fried on a friday night
forget, damn you
*everybody dance now*

roll?
tell me how
we were young
we had fun
we were dumb
full of fun
give it to me now!
(tell me tell me tell me how??)
a liver for your thoughts for what
that penny lane was threefold
binder, opera, soap and reebok
(pop, drop, roll)
mirrors on mirrors don't mention the shoe
salad on salad don't mention the (ooh ooh ooh)
don't mention the (ooh ooh ooh)
millions on millions of bugs in the sand
salad on salad don't dissect the (ooh ooh ooh)
don't bisect the (ooh ooh ooh)
minions on minions don't miss or you're dead
falling behind but don't buy the lost (ooh ooh ooh)
don't die or you're (ooh ooh ooh)
contracts on contracts just 30%
crush all your classmates or else you're a (ooh ooh ooh)
what else but a (ooh ooh ooh)
a liquor for your thoughts but
what gun will you use to do it?
see right through it
just a gesture for your love
just a gesture made in jest (ha ha ha ha)
a riddle for your thoughts
for what purpose can you conceive of?
can you actually conceive
please no, please yes, please no
just a riddle made in jest (ha ha ha ha)
a camel crush just for your purse
who holds the string tight sour bee?
see my minus, cracked flame, minus
mine, yours
just a --
(ha ha ha ha)

I wanted you to the be my ___
no matter what the cost is
I wanted me to be your ____
no matter what the choice is
what a nice night for a wedding
what a nice ring to it
choke on dry rice for a wedding
ritual sacrifice
ring bearer

I remember when the teacher said
that I'd never be the man they wanted me to be
there's a coat room by the front door
pack your shit up and throw away the key
there's a time and a place to break the rules
and take a chance, take a chance on me
I remember when you said
the walls would crack and fall into the sea
interrupted broken skateboards
vaguely splintered legs and wounded knee
there's a time and a place to take the past
and turn it into something sweet
turn it into something
necessary for the breakdown
waking life's a joke
but we missed the punchline
and we missed our chance
and we missed the deadline
and we missed the friends
we lost along the way
