The love you took but never did anything with
Laid up against all of the sunsets in new england

Places like these
Hold down ghosts on street corners
Begging for forgiveness

Talking to yourself in the passenger seat of a friends car
Breaking through static and time

We've got what you think you need
You just have to be willing to pay the price
Honey melted behavioral patterns
Eye against the screen
Something we all have in common
Heart sink  over flow

Woke up sweating
A few cartons of cigarettes crushed against my head
Lies erode the enamel on my teeth
Yet I smile for appearances
Boy walks down road
He's got a thick outline and heavy hands

Boy sits in chair, slouched, hands folded
He's got blackhole eyes and a secret smile

Boy lays in bed unraveling his thoughts
He's got question marks falling out of his mouth

I'll bite him with my brave teeth and pray for rain
I will lay in his web and watch
Lightning struck forever
Hits me on the head on more time

Wood friend burns sweet things
Spider's own the night

You hear that?
The crazy cult party next door is laughing at us!

Monster's are always in the corners of our mind.
In whatever form they may come.
I'm getting tired
Talking to ghosts that don't like me

If you stand by for too long
Something might slip

You'll see me
And that's when I disappear
From a hall of shadow a sigh escapes
You have the outline of an insect
The gold glowing mouth of god

We hear you across the way
In your leisure wear gradually being covered in dust

Will you stand poised against the blood thirsty congregation?
Will you cry out in splintered delight?
I can let it grow on me but I can't keep anything off.
I can't keep clean.
The **** suckers had other plans anyway.

My guts are eroding.
I wrap myself in sheets and roll down the bank into the river.
Cold chemical baths for the sick and disorderly.

White noise money, millions  bet on a chance.
Escape the bad lighting and minimum wage.
Notice the disconnect between love and anything else.

It's cold crossing the bridge.
Even colder when empty eyes won't stop staring.
When I skinned my knee's everything didn't seem so bad.

But there you are, sitting on the curb laughing like a maniac.
I laugh too because this city never ate us whole.
It spit us out before it could even swallow.
