and that knot in the tree still calls my name!
but i know there's no letter cause you're not the same.
this life is pretty lonely but i'm used to it
i've got my vegetables and i've got my kid
i've got some outlandish thoughts but i keep them hid.
and the grass has overrun over former town!
the thought of us smiling always gets me down.
my legs are weak and my eyes are grey
i'm not the same girl i was yesterday
it would've been better had you just stayed.
oh i'm down at the cougar crossing
where we first laid eyes.
i'm sorry that the sad police
filled your head with lies.
it wasn't me that stole your napkin.
it wasn't me that stole your nappin' kin.
watch out for the animals at the cougar crossing.

Well there's a boy
Down the road
Of my street.
He plays guitar like I have never seen
His parents they get drunk and they get mean
The boy
Down my road
Hath no feet.
Well there's a girl
Down the road
Of my street.
She sings a tune that carries thru the woods
Cuts herself when her boyfriend's up to no good
The girl
Down my road
She weeps.
Well there's a man
Down the road
Of my street.
Listens intently whenever that boy plays
Can't adjust to the fact that his wife died the other day
The man
Down my road
Can't sleep.

My heart is pounding faster
Than it ever has before
My lungs are being crushed
And my throat is sore, oh
Down and under, creepin' over
Pickin' leaves off a 4-leaf clover
Days repeat themselves
and the nights are slower.
My eyes are turning red
My mouth is running dry
I'm running 'round the house
But I don't know why.
The house is on fire!
The house is on fire!
You can't be a truthteller
When you're already a liar, go.
The house is on fire.
The house is on fire.
The house is on fire.
The house is on -

Millions of blank canvases.
Paper white padded walls.
A piano in a corner of the room.
And a guinea pig treadmill that goes
Round n' round n' round...
Sunroof for a cieling,
clear blue skies.
Astroturf for ground
and a pond on the side.
An infinitely expanding
echo chamber.
Where you can scream
at the top of your lungs.

She's got more money than the Sistine Chapel
She's got more friends than Jesus Christ
She's got the moxie of a cyborg ninja
She's got the smarts of a thousand too.
She just don't know it yet.
She just don't know it yet.
She's got the looks of a covert spy
She's got the body that makes toothpicks cry: "Bloody murder!"
She's got the beat of a dying musician,
She's got the medicine that will save his ass.
She just don't know it yet.
She just don't know it yet.
When I die, will I be a martyr?
When I die, will I be a savior?
When I die, will she be by my side?
I just don't know it yet.
She just don't know it yet.

The sullen eyes of a lonely child.
She calls to you, your response is mild.
She rides on pillows of light pink clouds.
She wants you to come, your response is mild.
She walks down the corridor, still half-asleep.
She wants a hug goodbye in exchange for that missed kiss goodnight.
---
Put down your claws that are raised towards the cieling.
Take off your mask and replace it with feeling.

you got off to a good start
you're not dumb so you might as well be smart
but then time progressed
you weren't sittin' pretty at the top of the class
your husband got murdered
when you got robbed
your home was foreclosed
and you lost your job
now you're feeling
sad and alone
you ain't got no drugs and you ain't got no home
you're feeling
sad and alone
you ain't got not drugs and you ain't got no home
tiny little pinpricks run down your spine
this is the big life, this is paradise right?

All Day Long

when the crowd they start FIGHTING BACK
we will be singing hallelujah all day long.
and when the crimes they come BACK TO HAUNT
we will be singing hallelujah all day long.
all day long...
you look like your face is melting inwards
bleeding into walls and lights and colors
shouting at the cars when i am sober when i'm not wait till its over ohmygod i love you so much.
when the tigers wake ALL US UP
we will be singing hallelujah all day long
and when the gods they all START TO STIR
we will be singing hallelujah all day long.
all day long...
and oh her face has turned to brass
watching all the ants that pass
she's not brass she is an ant
all the soldiers are in a row
prepared to die in the orange snow
post traumatic stress syndrome
nowhere's here if it is not home
nowhere's here if it is not home.
when the crowd they start FIGHTING BACK
we will be singing hallelujah all day long.
and when the crimes they come BACK TO HAUNT
we will be singing hallelujah all day long.
shouting at the cars when i am sober when i'm not wait till its over oh my god i love you so much!

girls with broken bones
and cell phones
faces in their hands
failed plans
droves of black skirts
in june heat
children all abandon
in bare feet.
there's the door
there's the door
now walk.
once i turn down old route 4,
you won't see me anymore.

please don't come near me right now.
i'm volatile, ready to explode.
at any moment now, i will burst into a cloud
of ashes, ashes.
down beneath the laws of hell
i'm sleeping in a boat
drifting into silence where i'll rest for eternity
a fate worse than death, a fate worse than death.
sing a song of merriment!
of the castiron cast that you've put me in!
maybe one day i'll come back to life
and try to spare you all.
for now i'll rust.

Crossing II/Nacimiento

school bell sounds, we're set to go
back to your house with a fireplace glow, now
trudging through snow now, two feet of fire
to get to your house with a backyard fence.
the power's out! the power's out!
and ice is forming above our heads!
the crackling sound of the freezing rain
is enough to drive us both insane.
so our plans are gone and you fall asleep
telling ghost stories while your flowers weep.
so our plans are gone and you fall asleep
telling ghost stories while your flowers weep.
--
Oh, yet another blank sheet
we meet again!
Each time I carve
into your skin,
digging deeper.
For some internal meaning
or combustion!!

In Boxes

talk to me in boxes
talk to me in math
talk to me in a language
that i can't understand.
this will be my wake up call
felt good to have a warning than not have one at all
this is the sole apex
this is the lined paper
this is the wooden pencil
i can't save this for later
this will be my wake up call
felt good to have a warning than not have one at all
from now on, i'll slow down
i swear to god, i'll take my goddamn time!
take slow walks down the busy city streets...

Apartment 1
Christmas Eve
I am feeling so lonely.
Closing in
are the walls
the room is dark and i'm lonely.
no one here
but the spies
the spies are out to get me.
Apartment 2
Clamor and yells
Festivities and jingling bells.
I will work 9 to 5
live in this hellhole until I die.
i'll live for nothing until I die.

walk around with
veils on our faces
so we can't see the outside.
i would rather not
worry about this
i'd rather go run and hide.
so let's live for the good times
Cause the worse times are sure ahead.
walk around with veils on our faces
ropes tied around our necks!
it's time
i become a drifter
wander in the desert for a spell.
it's time
i become a wandering frog prince
drift in the open brown sea for a spell.
