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
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
The moon under my finger nails
Bruised sky
We follow the trail down
Greenish gold tapestries  held up

Quickly thrown between
The time it took to smother the monster
That told us "No"
And betting on our own inevitable silence
Hit
Slumped in the backseat
Feel the light shine and pass across closed eyelids
Electricity sizzlez and pops against brain tissue
I want to end so I can be everything

Help reaches out in the form of tiny eyes and a few off-handed comments
Lets go play outside with masks on
Be careful, after years of work these walls are still fragile
Poision seeps, I left a stain on your bed

We brought reminders of home
Coffee smudged against the tile floor
Renovations needed made
Asleep against the wheel going seventy
I hear the cold creeping in through the floorboards
Wasting away with words
My insatiable  curiosity with be the death of me

There are boys throwing a ball in the road
My cat is staring at me
I don't have any answers

I keep searching for love, honesty
Though I'm not a very honest person

Motivation only comes in pill form now
Make sure someone else isn't telling you what you want

Feed me
I am a bottomless pit
Feed me your soul
I wake up
I feel my mind cracking
Air seeps through
But I'll ignore it for now

On weekdays the boys breathe in and out of rubber socks
Hoping to get somewhere
they've never been before

Breakfast welcomes memories towering over
Push them aside to swallow some food
And leave out the back door so no one asks you what's on your mind

I sit on the neighbors roof and feel little planets of hail
They sound like white noise
Fuzzing everything together

You don't owe me anything
I'm sorry if I act like you do
