She's just like
the secrets you told

The wet hot
American
summer
skin
sweetheart
broken
battered
Girl next-door
wanting to come in
And bash her head into your lap
Like you've always done this as kids
when your parents weren't watching
In the house you both built
in the basement
behind the couch
with all the things
she mimicked
with her mouth

She's the one with daisies in her hair.
She's got stars in her eyes
aligned to the harmony
of hurt
hands
held
for hope

Truth be told
She's got secrets to be told
She just wants to make you feel good
Even if she doesn't
Through it all, she's still the one I let get away

Ground control
     to impulse control
          are you in control?

What's your frequency?
     Whats your vibration?

Your resonation
     has resigned
          from the radar

Too many astral planes crashing
     Lost like a sacrifice
          to the island
          of isolation

My mind's a loaded weapon

Too many triggers
     to finger
     BANG
     temptation

This is lust
     for little deaths
          of inspiration

This is dreams of debauchery
     This is the self-prescribed
     nightmare of reality

Waking up to hangovers
     from a rope
          in the basement

Dekalb,
Where the soil demanded a sacrifice
Of the girl with the sunflower tattoo

Dekalb,
Where I left a lot of blood
Defending your honor

Rockford,
In ICU where I woke up with
Angels at the end of my hospital bed

Rockford,
Where I woke up
on the phone
with my best-friend's ex

Arlington Heights
Where we attempted
to find our lost minds together

Arlington Heights,
...it was kind of a funny story

Illinois,
I've given you all
and I'm still here *******.

They slipped a roofie
in the wishing well
Now we're all on some ****** up
American *******

Baptize the *******
In the sacred swamps
laced with chemicals
They bottle feed

We're the children of the same struggle
Hungry ghosts of the nursery
Pacified by the message
they shoved down our throat
via the animation machinery
with malicious undertones

**** on this
Oral fixation
Choke on this
We can fix it
The problem you see
The problem we invented
it's what you want
to be ailed with


The hypochondriac
vs. the human conditioning

Prescribed apathy
They want us numb
Some scared sick lullaby
along we hum
this is for the addictions they prescribe.

I keep seeing her
in post-traumatic
flashbacks

back to back
she's bound
in a little
black dress

Tearing through
the mayhem
the mosh pit
of my mind

To save me

Some punk princess
archetype
always
in another castle
castrating
the *******
symbol

Because she's
'O so liberated

...So I decorated her
With a pearl necklace

Old patriarchal
habits
die hard
Honey

Sweet
Nectar
Ambrosia

Summoned
from my
sacral chakra

Come
my
Goddess

Come
my
Goddess

*Come
Hiding my ****** deviation behind prose and metaphors since 1985

Deleted from existence
     You ended all your processes

The blue screen of death
     depression's screen saver
Old notebook stufffff. Been busy working on my punk rock opera.

I am
everything
that is
and isn't
nailed down

connected

I hit
the ground
running on
survival
instinct

With
ultra
violent
grace
burning
about
me

I
barrel
down
boundaries

face
to
face
with
the enemy
of me

now

Do I
fight
Or
flight
Or
freeze?
