American Words are our common enemy. / Everything I post I write.
I wonder if anyone feels good enough In the end I feel incredibly stuck in the patterns of my own thought process I've done this body wrong I greedily wish for a new one that is easier for people to love

Misunderstanding
Continue Posing in front of the glass Pretending not to watch the next **** You can't decide if you should run out to intervene Maybe next time A hundred miles away blowing bubbles on the front lawn Ice cream trucks tipped over in the heat Who ate the last of our delusions? Someone daring enough to consume a flat falseness I want the children to know that it's not their fault But some of them may never know So what does that mean for us? I break sweat.

I Break Sweat
Buildings rise and fall to the sound of our heartbeats Once in awhile my skin tingles to the thought of Not being able to tell the difference between My feeling and your feeling Your skin or my skin All the billions of eyes, still can't see it all I want to be good to everyone and everything It seems so impossible but I need to figure out how I can't hate myself any longer I'll spend my life trying to embrace life The murmur of our dreams forever in the background Born of space and sound

What About Tomorrow
Captured through something terribly unremarkable Forever drunk on watered down uncivil pride The universe sends me back everything I do In a new twisted shape of irony It cuts at me As a I lay alone in bed The blanket of an endless night Keeps us aware as we push on Regardless of the fact that we do not know why While in another time Millions of lives are being hoisted up into the sun

young lovers not doing any loving falling asleep in the strangest of places whisper tiny secrets into unfledged ears motel bedrooms along massive stretches of pavement adultry violence addicton a loss of innocence never recovered i pass by these moments at 65 miles per hour unsure of their reality towing the lines between sleep and a coma life's worth a split level with a pool and a two car garage wives spitting in their loved ones dinner rejoice for the middle class! sin runs in the family like water overflowing from a gutter don't tell dad i went into his hunting room you kiss like a priest, hard and shapeless distance isn't what changes you and besides i'm tired of you passing out in my bathtub

Sin
Memories bite the brain On the path An up turned loneliness Waits patiently at the gate The immense white sky Looming over giant parking lots Talk radio drones on Trying to bear down the ugly facts That nobody knows

These kind of days
The answers to incredible mysteries Sleep silently in the dim morning of you With one thought they will stir Under the cover of tomorrow's questions Allow the energy and time To bring it up

Behind the shooting pain in natures side Our resounding efforts glow A faint call Against the black veil Cough up the meaning Shake me out of bed The day we'll find out In silence

Held like the neck of a bottle Forgetting to look both ways Voice torn out Prideful abandon Shut the **** up And pay your rent

Bent
From a box I'm cut up so agreeable Under the heat lamp I mummify **** me through a straw Coming up Building monumental failures I dissipate
