I hope that our few remaining friends Give up on trying to save us I hope we come up with a failsafe plot To **** off the dumb few that forgave us I hope the fences we mended Fall down beneath their own weight And I hope we hang on past the last exit I hope it's already too late And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here Someday burns down And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away And I never come back to this town Again in my life I hope I lie And tell everyone you were a good wife And I hope you die I hope we both die I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow I hope it bleeds all day long Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises We're pretty sure they're all wrong I hope it stays dark forever I hope the worst isn't over And I hope you blink before I do Yeah I hope I never get sober And I hope when you think of me years down the line You can't find one good thing to say And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out You'd stay the hell out of my way I am drowning There is no sign of land You are coming down with me Hand in unlovable hand And I hope you die I hope we both die

No Children (Tallahassee, 2002)
Like a flame igniting an old engine A frisk of energy sparked Turning my rusty, frozen gears And restoring my memories of you. In a hidden corridor in time - A dimension since locked away We two share an instant - An unobtainable, infinite moment. Like a fog creeping in on my soul - An ironic, melancholy nostalgia; I dream of sunlight on canopy roads In a place I once called home. Trapped in a reality without you We've since broken our promise, Extinguishing the embers We swore to smolder forever. This life is a sort of purgatory - A spiritual test and journey; A short waiting period before We again walk hidden corridors.
