i've got a friend
we go all around town and we
study the leaves
and each cumulus cloud
while the ashes that fall
from the towers above are all
shredded white collars
coddled with love
i know
i could write ninety poems
spray them on pavement and
bury my name
bury my name again
all with the other ones
who saw different colors once
and maintain my shame
for the rest of the fall
[[ohhhhhhh it's here
and i'm here to stay
oooOOohh it's here
take my pride away]]
*duh duhduhudhuhuh*
there are so many folks
i'd like to be
but i'll never be them
so i'll just stick to me
and then there are the faces
and pale weary eyes of
the monolith people
who look at their watch as
we walk by the turnstyle
and into the crowd
with our hands in our pockets
of crumbs and black linen
with eyes on the ceiling
i'm counting each string on the blinds
[[ohhhhhhh it's here
and i'm here to stay
oooOOohh it's here
take my pride away]]

i woke up early again
i wasn't tired of my friends
come with us
come with us
please wear this compliment
take the old weathered cement
home with you
and let nobody through
red eyes are watchin
till i notice how often
im walking too fast
walking too fast
longing for seventeen
so i could sleep between
you
and let nobody through

when i'm stuck
turn my head
so i'm lookin upside down
on my bed
and i wait
for a shape
in the curvature
of my head
doesn't come
only dust in the grooves
that i clean
with my thumb
white above
and below
soon enough you will visit me
in snow
[[written in the leaves
everything is pleasing!
tell me all you see
try out all your reasons]]
so i'll go
into town
with my coat goin up
in smoke
rabbits watch
from the lawn
as the wind ripples down
and i'm gone
and i wrote
little verse for you
even though
it don't work
so i sit
with my head
lookin upside down
in my bed
[[written in the leaves
everything is pleasing!
tell me all you see
try out all your reasons]]

i'm in my head
i'm changin all the time
you saw the red
pain you cannot find
i'm in your bed
to let my hair down on the run
you try to shed your skin
can change what's been (dundundundun)
your colors change
pale encroaching on your cheek
some able mind
is shifting as we speak

idle time
a lullaby
late swing my friend
cast it out
find me
i don't know when
[[rosy letters wrap your skin
each and every part fits in
rosy letters wrap your skin
glowing as the heart gives in]]
see the moon
always
out looking in
waking life
you're out of time
still turnin thin
[[rosy letters wrap your skin
each and every part fits in
rosy letters wrap your skin
glowing as the heart gives in]]

sequence my thoughts
don't touch the ground
i can feel the wind
stained color girl
cheap satin eyes
i can see your prize
i hear the gravel
and gaze into blue
its been a while
so i start anew
no longer apt
to be so afraid
gold hair and buttons
the truth is handmade
no rules aside
for she whom to love
tirelessly sinking
the smoke on your tongue
i hear the gravel
and gaze into blue
i forgot one thing
what makes a fool

backyard

as the air is cooling on the porch
i kick my feet up
picture in my pocket
somethin true to me
probably i'm timid as the leaves
inside my teacup
picture in my pocket
i was seventeen
wash your feet in the backyard
cut your hair in the backyard
i'm alone for the hour
not a cloud today
every time i think about the path
to form a flower
nothin in my pocket
what comes after me
wrinkled till i'm radiating black
within the hour
nothin in my pocket
part of the machine
wash your feet in the backyard
cut your hair in the backyard
i'm alone for the hour
not a cloud today
i'm alone for the hour
watch the postcard FAAADE

sold

it's clear that i don't know what i did
i haven't moved a bit
thought i wanted place to roam
new youth to call my own
i couldn't handle it
o' the spring runs cold
o' on county lines
sold my own right hand
for just one more night
hold me underneath the sand
i'm really just a man
who'll take your forest fire of light
and use it till it's empty
use it till it's gone
no such thing as honest man
i'm kinda just a scam
so turn away from me
o' the spring runs cold
o' on county lines
sold the spot you used to live
for just two more lines??
