Get in get em out
don't you look in their eyes
schooled up to check out
to desensitize
file, a server farm
plastic blue bracelet
bar code to scan out
will stretch til you break it
You better wash your hands kid
You better watch your back
Of gears in the watch
Seeing nails in the wall
Cheap little tiles
line their way down the hall
One up one down
It will never depend
Just treating the symptom
Start systems again
You better wash your hands kid
You better watch your back
First do no harm
then do nothing
first do no harm
then do nothing at all
I get that humanity
gets in the way
objective
subjectively cycles of pay
the meat in the system
Is somebody’s friend
too quick to white flag
to signal the end

And in the back of my head
I hear it coming now
the sinking feeling
that something’s out there waiting for it
it’s at the foot of my bed
and I’m not coming out
the deeper knowing
that you’re too deep in your own shit
Someone wants to take it away
my loss will be your gain now
You cross the river
you pay up
Til in the back of my head
there is an itch
scratched bleeding
But I swore I just felt it twitching
even the leeches are being bled
for all their worth
light teething
but I think we made the best of it

Oh, Spirit

It’s in the waiting now
too shallow
ask the black bag how
save the gallows
and all that I can think is how the best of us is gone too soon
armed with sticks of dynamite and gin to excavate the ruins
Still she sings in perfect tone
oh spirit will you leave me alone
and still she sings in perfect tones
oh spirit never leave me alone
Clumsy and proud
we soldier on
too brash and loud
some cover song
and all that I can take is that the best of us has gone too soon
armed with sticks of dynamite and gin to excavate the ruins
Now I need it blinding
bleeding out and exorcising
demon dearest never pacified I’m
drinking holy water like the revelation’s never coming NOW
There is a ghost in my home
and did I ever love her so

The panic
the spark
the fingers
the dark
streetlights
and sounds
the fog
the ground
I’ve hated horror but I can’t stop watching it
can’t shake the feeling it’s already gotten me
I guess we go it alone
they took you half the way home
I guess we go it alone
they took you half the way home
The chaos
the hate
the people
that face
the anger
the shame
The weeds
blow away
I’ve hated drama but I can’t stop living it
for my own good I don’t expect you to give a shit
I guess we go it alone
They took you half the way home
I guess we go it alone
Unknown fears of the unknown
What would you do to survive
I swear I’ll eat death alive
Whether it’s yours or its mine
I swear I’ll eat death alive
I’ve hated horror but I can’t stop watching it
can’t shake the feeling it’s already gotten me

Performative Grief

I wanted
We waited to say why
sure, I lost it
too hungover to stay high
Un-phased to sound insane
deep valley in the cliche
that I’ll miss you every day
and I hate it
all debts have been repaid
in horseshoes and hand-grenades
stinging-faced
oh what a shame
just save it
I wonder
why mornings wait in a line
sure, I lost me
avoiding sleep for the dreaming
Still un-phased to sound insane
armor I cannot repay
and I’ll miss you every day
to replay it
all sins now sound the same
just horseshoes and hand-grenades
over time
it’s still the same
because I saved it
What would she say now?
scream your lungs out
