the thought won’t go away
that this is just a one-act play
how am i supposed to change?
maybe when the damage comes
we could be each other’s only ones
we could ride on rusty cable cars and spit up at the sun
we are crying in each other’s arms
output, you are killing me slow
reminders of the things i don’t know
dreaming was supposed to be fun
but my dreams have come undone
father blood, i feel his hand
above, the ampersands
it is cold and it’s familiar
he speaks in sharpened angles
and he tells me where i start and where i end
output, you are killing me slow
reminders of the things i don’t know
dreaming was supposed to be fun
but my dreams have come undone
tyrant, where do we go from here?
the leaflet seemed to indicate that angels can’t be queer
and i don’t want to try to make more of myself, one is enough

i duck for cover, and hold my breath, just the weekly game of run and hide
a person i once saw as a friend has found a plate left on the side
you tell me “This is much too much, i don’t think that you should be welcomed here”
don’t act like you wouldn’t stumble too if a misplaced plate made you disappear
my legs stop shaking, the hand stop taking
my bed stop breaking my body
somewhere off in the distance
waking up in the morning will be painless
in every dream you dream tonight
i hope you are turning white
somewhere off in the distance
congratulations, you’ve done it now, every leaf is where it’s supposed to be
and your teeth may be cut like graves but that does not make you a rat like me
i know that this is infantile, maybe it will feel at home with you
another package has just arrived, and your father’s calling, the rent is due
the seams unstitching, the eyebrows dripping,
the head is missing the body
this ship is listing, the cyst insisting, my fingers gripping my body, my body
somewhere off in the distance,
waking up in the morning will be painless
hope you find a darker hue
'cause colour has no place on you
somewhere off in the distance
i’m not done with this shell, ‘cause I know I need it
it’s getting harder to tell, was I always bleeding?
something ugly
needs excising
black fire rising
somewhere off in the distance
somewhere off in the distance
since I’ve seen you in the light
i will not apologise, i’ll be
somewhere off in the distance

Real Flow

alright, it’s okay, there is time to kill in here
i am fine, I’m faithful, the disguise - disappeared
just got to roll in
shock, phase out, realign, reappear
someone’s hands are screaming, when’d it get so sharp in here?
and where’s the dimmer switch?
i am the none and the all and something in between, i don’t know which
plug yourself into me
mainlined, my senses disrupted with the real flow
on dead time, defenseless, it’s suffering but it feels though
eyes like gemstones, liquid crystal on display
when it hits the cheekbone, will i miss the plane today?
or cross the ocean now
each time i try it evolves, it’s sure it’s tangled up in code somehow
i juke the daggers, observing for signs
there’s no decision but hang off every line
you won’t believe how long that took to say
is everyone expected to keep up with the pace?
my life was easy as a monopole
each missed opportunity, we’re back to control
but in the real flow, i see,
i need to feel connected, so please plug yourself into me
mainlined, my senses disrupted with the real flow
on dead time, defenseless, it’s suffering but it feels though

Sister!

sister, sister, i am by your side
and my minifridge is open wide
take what you need today, then be on your way, they want to leave you wanting
oh my, sister, that’s an awful bruise
this world has not been so kind to you
they’ll nick you into shreds then put extensions on the house that you are haunting
oh, brother, i’ve got nothing left
but i will squeeze until my eyes are wet
and spew like a dog on a leash until my little sounds have gone away
all these citizens, they make you ill
but, my sister, you should take that pill
and you best believe if the moment comes, i’m going to start a fight today
‘cause i tell you
every step that you step, you might just slip into the sky
and every breath that you get is sucked right from you ‘til you’re dry
but you still have to try
wouldn’t it be the best to make a friend in anyone?
but we’re under the halo of the holy megaton
no one ever said it would be fun
do it ‘til it’s done, uhn, uhn, uhn
