while you wait
for me to arrive
you can be guaranteed
that your ass is going to be handed to you
on a platter
no one ever asking why
and that's the problem with the people
that populate the city
where i'll die
no one ever has the courtesy
of cutting back on courtesy
just tell me why
and whenever you begin again
let me know and i'll pretend
you're going alright
you're one of mine
why the fuck don't you want to decide
whether you want to live
in the hell and the squalor of this
or pack and leave it behind
said you never feel alive
well there's a tenderness about me
i bet'll keep you pleasant for a while

it is not free
i wonder how it is
and why do i exist
i wonder how it will be
you tell me that it's hot
i'll tell you when it's not enough
i'll lock you up
i'm not awake
i am dreaming
it is suffering
when it begins
when the war the won
when a soul is brave enough
she and i are not
nearly strong and brave enough
i want you here to see
i am your only god
can it be
i have won
you have not
can it seep
into blue
make it red
whenever i ring
there's always that thing
left unsaid
never let it stop you
solid as a rock
i like the way you're not around
and think
we could have been
i'll live in shame
like this

hey little baby
well i wonder sometimes
and i wonder so much
you're so damn good for me
when i can say it
or are we gonna be talkin around it forever
i love you so damn much
when you act like yourself
well it's indescribable
i hope to die with you
it's just so funny
should we run into hell
well i'll be getting high with you
i'll runnin dry
and how could something so pretty even be
sometimes you wonder
when the bell will ring
and the sirens will all scream out
i know it's true
hey little baby
well i wonder sometimes
and i wonder so much
i'm trying to be good enough for you

The Poison

you had an inkling
when no one had a clue
you never mentioned
the boy who made you blue
in the end
it came down to boredom
the devil that you know
when the time is right
you will own it
you are first to go
ascended to the heavens
never was that into you
here in my imagination
right here in this book
here is all the poison that
you claim you never took
i'm not one to point the finger
i'm not one to blame
i'm not one to end it all
or wallow in my shame
we have a winner
never seen again
he was your father
even when he ran
whenever the sun is setting
when he proved you wrong
mellow out on lazy sundays
to your favorite songs
anyone would tell you
whether weak or big and strong

burned alive
twenty years later you still haven't really forgiven
one or the other i know that you're out of ideas yeah
something in somebody's house is another man's prison
waiting on you and i'm tired of the waiting
i, i, i
here is my head there's a summer inside
and you're welcome there
out of your bitter and political ideology
whenever anyone ever had any idea you're high
twenty years later i still never wanted you higher, higher
when you're unkind i can always be quiet as a mouse
flattering things that are burning my ears and i'm burned down
whatever they say about you is meaningless to me
everyone's out of ideas and they're running too
i, i, i
tell em that i don't know anything
i don't know anyone
can there be nothing again like there was
when i lost my mind
trembling everyone has no idea
where you're coming from
wasted ideas and our rented out units
and all these things i
i, i, i, i
