bruxist grin
bruxist grin
undo the stare
I’ll hold your sins
"believe in me"
what a good line
I stand born anew
"It’s different this time"
I walk on the green
swimming like Jesus
day after day my love
paradise my love
"believe in me"
what a good line
don’t let it kill you
bruxist grin
bruxist grin
undo the stare
I’ll hold your sins
Well I cursed out god
just to see if he’d come on down
made a fool of myself
just to see who would stick around
It’s a lonely life I fought
hard to keep my love
the reverence that I steal
takes a toll on me
don’t let it kill you
bruxist grin
bruxist grin
undo the stare
I’ll hold your sins

Visions

speak to me
my mind is always there for the taking
"week after week
still trudging though the tao te ching"
"We’ll have forever don’t worry"
hoping my love has a vision before I get carried away
the heart escapes it knows I can’t let it go
runner don’t worry
there’s a promise at the end of the Rorschach
keeping one eye shut
she steals dirty magazines off the tack
my miracle soul is dreaming not a single word is wrong
whenever she sings along to that one Wallflowers song
Hoping my love has a vision before I get carried away
The heart escapes it knows I can’t let it go
she spits on a cop
she’s in love with the danger
her redneck past is murder with her middle finger
hoping my love has a vision before I get carried away
the heart escapes it knows I can’t let it go

fire, fan the fire
never gonna buy Jesu, joy of man’s desire
Casey
no down payment is enough
Casey
penny pinching for the rust
hold my breath now
can’t relax now
kill the rich man just so we don’t have to rent
my eyes darken as...
I’ve been consumed
with what I said I’d do
before this body took control of me
frame by frame
hold up the beauties
of a fading memory
hold my breath now
can’t relax now
and I'll wait for the beautiful
(blue bird)
condo, another condo
cask their oil cask their blood
17 52
they don't care about me
they don't care about you
something awful
something beautiful
It’s okay what we do the rich men do it too
and I'll wait for the beautiful
(blue bird)

Sammy drives a fast car
a bullet through the night
the mirror poet collapse at
the spiraling lights
my minds up late stuck on a fever
singing Hare Krishna til I believe it
I’m still afraid of forgiveness
singing Hare Krishna till I believe it
I’ll let my love find it’s way on back to you
Annie drives a fast car
She’s crying the whole way
She says hasn't the fun gotten scary
Have you ever thought of taking it easy
Don’t you know that somebody loves you
Don’t you know that somebody loves you
I’ll let my love find it’s way on back to you

Hey Honey Bunny

Charlie calls me up she hates drinking alone
she doesn’t care that I don’t drink no more
her mouth plagued by nerves she’s just like me
she hates the feeling of frailty
And I believe in Jesus every Saturday night
Watching Charlie sing I saw the light
she croons
And sways so carefully
it’s a sold out show that's all for me
Hey Honey Bunny
That summer that we both grew our hair out long
Who knew leaning on a wheel could be so fun
showed you my scars now you show me yours
our garbage friends who aren’t our friends no more
fuck your prius and that ashtray smell
our trendy politics will send us both to hell
Charlie it’s more than a feeling
we both changed since our first meeting
Hey Honey Bunny

my girl and I love Jesus
and stealing from the mall
you whisper to me
some excerpt by the Frankfurt school
you read once while on acid
In your parents vineyard pool
God please bless this young American declaration of love
alimony up our noses just begging for the wheels to fall off
binge watch Buffy and stay in bed
look at the community mural on the bombs overhead
God please bless this young American declaration of love
alimony up our noses just begging for the wheels to fall off
It’s getting easy to say I love you
we cut the shit that we’re so used to

1,2,3
4 days
bless the water and kill the fumes
extinguish all that burns in you
I saw the fire of '42
that burned all that the earth grew
replay the night of when it fell
onto the heads of the carousel
make way for the retribution
tar black, youth repeat, proven
my silent space the dirges pace
drowning out the formality
of patriotic devotion
to collecting wartime teeth
alabaster light pierces the red eyes of defeat
youth repeat eternity in the blood heat
forwards backwards its all the same
bird rib
mad as adam
madam in eden I’m adam
eva can I see bees in a cave
empires I rise rip me
eva can I see bees in a cave

Charlie, more than a feeling
Hand to God, I'm going crazy
Don't turn away
I know it takes getting used to
I sing and say:
a recollection of who?
Charlie, more than a feeling
I've changed since our first meeting
Maybe not enough
I can see in your eyes you're calling my bluff
Claim I talk to God
Well I've played God all along
I've gotten sick of my songs
The same old ego "I'm so young"
Do you still see me
Blood on the porch, foam in my teeth
Charlie, more than a feeling
you're fast asleep, the tv's burning
Charlie, I'm getting better
please make believe I'm not a coward
Charlie, more than a feeling
Charlie, say that you need me
