For Nothing
The soap you made
Was such a clever way
To say goodbye
because I have almost
washed my hands of you
And it almost fades away
It almost fades away
And all the while you run around for nothing
The necklace
you gave me I wear
like you still want me
to have it and it almost fades away
But all the while you run around for nothing
And to everything you take,
You know I will take too
and just incase you need to know
You won… You won
and the shirt
that you gave
me with holes
that kind of says it all
I’ve worn it
but hey I’m not that foolish anymore
And the cross I’m taking hold
Of so quickly to replace
All the ghosts
And the hope
And the chase
And it almost fades away,
It almost fades away.
And all the while you run
round for nothing.

SONG OF ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION
She said, “I’m here to be gone
and to sing a song of ultimate destruction.
So many machines she said
You can’t hear me scream
I’m not made of the things I used to be
I need to learn how to crash cars and walk away
She said you don’t feel a thing
I don’t need a crutch
I’ll be lucky if they make me bleed
The distracters at the door
Are too late to change my mind
I am deaf to their try
It’s not really me walking by
He never said much.
He ran if anything.
Someday I hope to like being me again
My boat is made of sugar
My road is lined with grease
I swim where my muddy water takes me
She knows she’s the only one who has died.
(“Is this my life?”)
“It’s my life”

Madness

Madness
the best place to hide
is in a tireless tide
dissolving at the souls
of my shoes and with
an adamant wave she drinks
at my ankles and to the holes
we made she carries me away
the girl behind the counter
sells us cigarettes and gives us
foresight to the soul of the world
that I’d soon like to forget
but with elocution and motion
she assures me that it is
all right to do just that.
If I fall asleep tonight
you can be in my dreams
no what I mean to say is,
“will you sleep next to me?”
no what I’m trying to tell you
is that you should come over
because there’s a piano here
and I know you like to play
till you fingers bleed
you smell like the beach
and you brought the sun home
on your skin, I don’t want
to alienate you, I don’t want
to cave you in, I just need
to know if you’re dangerous
or if you’re scared
I’m in love with your madness
so I’ll nurse your blindness
I’m holding on so carefully,
because lust roots itself in lunacy

Have to Get You Off of My Mind
It’s Tuesday already, 22nd of July
and I have to get you off of my mind
the world is still spinning
and I’m falling behind
so I have to get you off of my mind
and in these days with all I do
I can’t seem to mail my letters
there is no right to write about it
no science in and of it
and weather permitting
I think I’d walk the line
but I have to get you off of my mind
darlin’, honey, you feed the fire
no one, not anybody has turned this mind around
the telephone is humming to no other line
it says I have to get you off of my mind
darlin’, honey, you feed the fire
no one not anybody has turned this mind around
I sleep all day cuz it is always night
I hold the thought that now I know I’m breakable
and you could piece me back together
and weather permitting
I think I’ll walk the line
but I have to get you off of my mind.

So Do I

SO DO I
START A LITTLE WAR
FUEL A LITTLE FIRE
FIND YOUR WAY
CLAIM YOUR GROUND
FAR FROM THE BUBBLE
DIDN’T WANT TO DANCE
SAID YOU’D RATHER DIE
FURL YOUR BROW
GRIND YOUR TEETH
DIVE IN A PUDDLE
SO DO I
THE CRACK THAT MIGHT FLOOD
YOUR BRAIN WITH LIGHT
IS TOUCHABLE
BUT HARD TO HOLD
YOU CAN ASK THE BROKEN LINE
YOU SAID YOU WANT TO RULE
SAID YOU WANT TO DRIVE
BE AN ANIMAL
A DIRTY JOKE
AND EVERYWHERE LIFE
SO DO I

Slow Her Down

Slow Her Down
I have a girl that feels like a carnival
I have a girl you smell when she’s gone
All my friends are pissed
and they talk to me like I have disappeared
She has hurricanes in her words and thoughts
She swallows thunder and coughs up dust
Bigger than a movie and quick as a rumor
I can’t hold on
If she goes to jail, I will always call
the warden to make sure she’s alive
There’s no one fast enough to slow her down
there’s no one strong enough to stand her ground
if she wants to fight
I will get my gloves
I will go all night
she has jackknife lips waving back and forth
she has a switchblade tongue
I’ve been stabbed of course
and if you catch the blade
you’ll never be the same
you’ll just fall apart
if she gets parole
better you know
you better run for your life
There’s no one fast enough to slow her down
There’s no one strong enough to stand her ground
if she wants to fight
I will get my gloves
I would go all night
yes I will

Secret Weapon

Secret Weapon
Why to do worry
You’re such a stand up girl
Sometimes I wonder why
you bother with this world
You’re a part of the war
And I want to be your
secret weapon
Your heart is a map of actual size
So why do you fold it
And navigate so blind
You’re a part of the war
And I want to be your
secret weapon
Tell your mom I said
That just because she’s there
doesn’t mean she’s right,
doesn’t mean she cares
like when you dive into a tea cup
From the 42nd floor
Nobody is there you
when you climb
Back up for more
You sell yourself as invisible
but you’re a billboard by design
If you can’t see your servants you’ll be
A mess all of the time
You’re a part of the war and
I want to be your secret weapon
It hit me today that everything we make
Is broken and everything we break
Is just made that way
So pinch your skin quick Sarah
You can take my car
Drive to were your dreaming
Nothing is too far
For you
I don’t thing your crazy and I know you
Don’t deserve the everything you pay for
with the nothing that you’ve earned
but with that fist full of stars Sarah you
can pack a punch
and be gone
and I want
to be
your secret weapon

Casual Friday
It tried to make the man
I tried to mold
Had a rich golden girl
I asked for more
I stopped at nothing
And nothing had none
I’m running now cuz
I’ve been flying too long
It’s not easy any more
So hard to sleep
So easy to be tired
Jump like a fish
straight out of water
casual Friday came
and then it was gone
So come on hold your fire
Till I find out what went wrong
It’s not easy any more.

Wound Up-
I remember everything
And I never would have thought
That after all that we have been
This is where we are.
I wound up in your arms
It’s always closer than it appears
There is always more to go
I do not expect to be unscathed
The thorns come with the rose
I wound up in your arms
Let our fuses have their way tonight.
Let our defenses fall.
You’re not lost
You just found yourself
In a place where you belong
And I wound up in your arms
I’m wound up in your arms
