coming up through the sidewalk
i’m going down in the street
i am a distorted version
of every symbol i meet
i’m in my head it’s a monday
my eyes are out chasing light
i almost settled on sunday
i barely put up a fight
i would wake up on a tuesday
with anybody i’d meet
i make my lover the butcher
i let him rot with the meat
oh can i get it by wednesday
i buy a fix in the flood
you got me itching for doomsday
i wanna see it implode
i’ll be your baby by thursday
or by the end of the week
i’ll be your return to center
i’ll be the last one to speak
you’ll be the last one to see
i’ll be the last one to drink
i don’t want a taste in the morning
sick when the suns going down
you got the stuff to destroy me
don’t like you coming around

GUT
01:39
|

tomb death bad breath bad boy nut
bad brain cum stain film grain butt
empty words i just made up
inside outside backslide gut
clothes come off my door is shut
tastes like blood you suck my cuts
morning light and i wanna fuck
inside outside backslide gut
but i don’t care
when you’re standing there
you got it in my hair
oh but i don’t
list of things i’ll never tell
all your secrets start to swell
love to lie and wish you will
see your gap toothed grin in hell
tomb death bad breath bad boy nut
bad bad cum stain film grain butt
empty head you’re just my luck
inside outside backslide gut
but i don’t care
when you’re standing there
your life is so unfair
oh but i don’t care

BUG
02:27
|

soft pink in the lilac pale
pack your bags your going straight to hell
orange crush i’m hot pink
went to spit him in the sink
bright red never felt nothing
another insect goes instinct
couldn’t survive on the outside
couldn’t catch a missing link
gonna drag his name through hell
drown a dove in a diving bell
got a free ride through the inside
so strong so weak
i can’t have mine
but he’ll have his
soft pale in lilac pink
got another bug in your drink
soft pink in the lilac pale
pack your bags youre going straight to hell
bright red never felt nothing
drown a dove in a diving bell
orange crush i’m hot pink
got another bug in your drink
got a free ride
through the inside
so strong
so weak
soft pink in the lilac pale
kill your rapist die in jail

BROKEN STEP
01:09
|
|||
see the side thats sharp
i wanna feel that
follow you around in the dark
so you can see that
we’re gonna bait the shark
you’re in the water
you either jump or you start
don’t even bother
everybody says
you’re in a fishtail
naked in your clothes
you tell a tall tale
magnifying glass
upon a small scale
smokescreens never last
illusion prevails
don’t know what to say
gotta gotta have your way
everybody looks away
gradients of gray
because you’re careful
gotta have a pound of flesh
laid on the table
gotta gotta do your best
willing or able
too drunk to undress
but are you stable?
your room is a mess
this is a black hole
self absolving sin
ignore a broken
step in the ladder
is he gonna do it again?
how will you answer?
tearing up his floor
until he caves in
we’re looking at you now
every time you turn around
try and touch another again
original sin
we’re gonna turn you out

SWIM
01:55
|
|||
his mouth it tastes like candy
straight like a razor blade
the heat is almost soothing
oh i’m sweating in the shade
his eyes are soft and wet
his eyes are window shades
i’m sweating out my toxins
oh i’m sweating in the shade
it almost feels like drowning
i can’t feel him on my skin
i’m so high and i’ll never die
no one taught me how to swim
that’s all in my mind
each and every time
he saw me in the bathroom
don’t try to hold my hand
i tried to leave my body
i was another man
i don’t want to forget
negative bone in my flower bed
his breath was warm and wet
repeating what he thought i said
“don’t tell me you don’t want this
it’s a game that no one wins”
you’re out in open water
no one taught you how to swim
come on in it’s fine
worth your weight in wine
a night of symmetry
passed out in the bed i made
another losing fight
oh i’m sweating in the shade
i can’t swim
i’m going to self destruct
disaster at my wim
too much is just enough
no one taught me how to swim

TAXI
02:27
|
|||
thinking bout the way he touched me
i’m naked in my bed
i met him in a hotel lobby
he’s coming
going to my head
think about the things i should have said
i don’t wanna talk about it
i’m not gonna do without it
moveaway is wishing i was dead
i never take the taxi
i think i’ll walk instead
so i have time to change my mind
rose-colored take a look around
everything that’s good is in the ground
i didn’t wanna go away
save it for a rainy day
baby likes it better when i’m down
i’m so reliable baby
i always miss my mark
i am a burnt out lightbulb
but you’re a shot in the dark
is it clear did you hear what i said?
i don’t wanna go away
doesn’t matter anyway
moveaway is living in my head

FULL TILT DUSTER
02:32
|
|||
he had a manic impulse
to smear the drying paint
he thought if he died early
that some might call him a saint
he was a full tilt duster
all night on layaway
he had the perfect vision
the kind you throw away
dry and useless, watch it blow away
we got a habit, we do it everyday
we’re out of focus, no definition
i don’t wanna sit around and wait
all night on layaway
another game
another night
you never win
you never fight
a binary
it’s wrong, it’s right
i got that 20/20
but only in hindsight
dry and useless, like everything that you say
we got a habit, we do it everyday
we’re out of focus, no definition
i don’t wanna sit around and wait
all night on layaway
he had a manic impulse
to smear the drying paint
he thought if he died early
that some might call him a saint
it was a scam finale
you pick your finest dress
and when you took a swan dive
nobody was impressed
can’t let it be or set it free
or make it real
you just keep pulling at the scabs
you bend it back
you never want it to heal
a taste for destruction
keeps you coming round
i always wanna kiss you
when i’m coming down
dry and useless, watch it blow away
got a bad habit, i do it anyway
we’re out of focus, no definition
i don’t wanna sit around and wait
all night on layaway

WRIST
01:12
|
|||
softer disposition
oh let the fun go wrong
honey wheres the smoke
you don’t find a fire
when i come around i don’t stay too long
starving for attention
rolling on the floor i’m crawling up the wall
when you got a problem
falling on deaf ears you oughta dry your eyes
wailing like a baby
existential fit you don’t even try
dignify a flaw in your away
separate the snake from the charmer
weaponize a smile when you’re wound too tight

SNOWBALL
01:14
|
|||
be aggressive, got to be aggressive
style biting at the gates of heck
three dollar bill it was my best bet
got a snowball’s chance
but you’re set to stun
light you up calling 911
you’re a crybaby genius
but you’re dressed to kill
eyes on the prize
but you’re in it for the thrill
pass you by you won’t know it’s over
knock that chip right off your shoulder
lalala

SALT
01:48
|
|||
saw you on 3rd avenue you looked dead
no one recognized you when you shaved your head
caught a red eye flight and you were leaving town
everything they said was coming back around
cool kids listless mouths painted red
back yard my eyes are rolling back now
vapid and wasted, boring at best
look good your mouths all full of salt
limping while leaving but now you know
they never really do anything
i wanna see you
i wanna be you
i wanna hang out with you and your beautiful friends
so self-assured, you’re so popular

VIRGIN
02:16
|
|||
ignore and turn around
disinterested in why or how
his island fleas
into the sea
and it’s not a thing
i can see
but i know why
convictions spin around
i know it’s not a crime
i am a virgin
i’ll never fuck again
you’re gonna make me cry
4th of july
blue as a sky
a blonde scapegoat
i can fly
i’d like to think you know
my heart was full of good intentions
had my sights set on you
left you better than i found you
big ugly world spinning round and round
got by the collar and you drag me down
big ugly world spinning round and round
four white cars follow you around

CAMISOLE
02:28
|
|||
pink camisole
that’s all you are
don’t touch my arm
that’s my body
identity
a house of glass
the best for last
don’t know don’t care
the truth about strength, just like gender, is that in reality it is much more than just your physical form. you don’t have to prove anything to to anybody but yourself. the right to self-determination doesn’t require permission, it predates your first breath. you had it even before you could advocate for yourself. be assured, but tender. don’t let this sharp world cut you apart. listen the way you want to be heard. destroy your boundaries as often and as willingly as you create them. multiplicity is everywhere, don’t limit yourself. intimacy is precious, see the other side.
the letter b
a boy like me
the letter o
won’t ever know
the letter d
don’t talk to me
oh why oh why
body police
anatomy
an artifice
a cheap device
oh let it bleed
