1.
press clean lines into your forehead like a mother-tongued snake sorrow take back and forth but stuck in place a void i can appreciate sorrow taking different forms and shapes
2.
Blue Planet 02:32
walking down the side of the road past the old house with fake grass and grey sky the numbers on the side of your house are falling out like teeth caked and dry i am just trying to break up the day in my way in any way that i can you're smiling at nothing i frown at the ground it's fine i'm fine you're fine
3.
Pleaser II 02:54
nightly swings guiltless spring horse figurine swallow teeth keep for a day burst into flames know what to say out of place
4.
Marbles 03:20
i know the gaping hole i followed it home past the dancing ghosts collecting rainbow bands off the floor sparking red and silver sky trails christmas music rang and failed she waited for the bus there your words fall like small swarms of bees silent and endless wandering a sad empty shell of a man rain falls from a subway rail lands in your eye and leaves a trail like a tear but its not unseen woke up feeling soaked through with the same shame filled youth bottled a small stimulant just enough to puncture the skin the eyes of unknown animals bred into captivity bolt gun pressed into her head and she's dead now steal her babies moo moo moo
5.
Lew Blum 02:56
there are two ideas of mine that cannot be held at the same time there are two ideas inside that cannot be held or reconciled
6.
In Red Sky 03:37
four headed woman on the wall the summit mary displayed the red and blue chagalls void of a city heart of darkness in your bed in the space between buildings light will shine and bend what i have come here to forget while we contend

8.
Pleaser I 02:03
i hurt the one that i love but what does that mean i was trying to feel free if i'm getting smited from above in the next life please get even and see that it was never about you i was trying to feel free laying down with the past cradled high in a tree like a baby made of heaven and hells and ween in between can you get yourself clean with no plans to be seen or heard or disturbed like a hermit trapped in a shell with my eyes they will swell and release rain from a body release shazer sharp on the edge of thirty when you bend to appease cows are hung by their feet upside down so you can stuff your pitiless void with the mother of three do you know what i mean?
