Trade in value ten thirty eight
Fat blood moon crushing in the sky
King's Quest IV fading CRT monitor
Dream-laden arcade burning behind
Watching Lindsay Lohan before cocaine
Mom and dad trying hard to stay up late
Icy road form unascertained
10:38, travelling out to Van Alstyne
You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, I don't mean a thing
yet you saved me from that fire
I know, I know, I know you don't have to try your best
you do everything alright
Don't say, don't say, don't say I won't fade away
police may be right outside
and kill, and kill, and kill the best version of myself
aging actor has no lines
I think I still smile more now
When Mojave 3 played, she started to cry, and the sun reflected her young teardrops, like glitter in her eyes
then sparks on sunshine road repeat again and again
condensed into one time
it's a waste things aren't youth now
humor so fun
sure proving hard to see
say I have no soul
and you laugh cuz of what I look like
the page I read
with a foreword that reads
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I swear I know now, everything I felt
and after all this time, I'm a piece of shit
and after all I tried, and there's nothing left
was it all just wasted time?

For You

I'm standing under
Our said path
Now I know I'd wait in line for you
Empty inside
Hollow and all
Within time, you'll be back around
I'm sitting under
The pool of chance
And who knows
Maybe I'd drown for you
Closer than ever
Yet you pull away
But she'll be in here
She'll be in here
I'm leaving soon again
With these lies I'd fix the truth for you
Inside out
My head underwater
I'll find my peace
I'll be in peace
Last night's dream
Cool as the breeze
But the girl in blue
Where has she gone to
Her breath was slow
Her heart beat too
And I'll be blue too
As I worry about you
How I'll worry about you
How I'll worry about you
How I worry about you

Albeit the forfeiture
of what's left
I will follow
In your footsteps
Melting the bullet down
Ascend the stairs
I trust that
I'll meet you there
And all the crowd noise
drums my ears
the doggie just sat there
and cried.
Watch as I take a bow
till no one's left
I'm hopeless to treatment
and you know it now.
Slicing the movements between
pieces
for sure, for sure had them running towards natural law
for sure, for sure
comet taking place overhead: my knees
growing closer to my feet
I weigh the blades below
and still footsteps destroy
the piedmont grass underneath,
tiny hands
tucking myself into
the rotunda's mossy turf
with a drink
sipping, slowly
slowly, it's dawning on me
like a lightbulb moment
or the HUD
becoming visible overhead
all of the characters
you've been playing
in this song
An alarm clock in a dream singing
A body, waste for spring cleaning, spread by a river downstream

Sacred cure
Where have you been all these years?
Felt your blankness
Let me heal your broken past
Take my hand
So I can have what I want at last
Don't expect too much from me
You'll just run into a dead-end
Drag me down
fill my void all the way to the ground
Sweet and pure?
Bitter and dull?
I'm not sure
With no way out
you'll never know if I'm safe and sound
Dreaming won't ever stop me
Please don't punch me in the gut
Don't let this go to daylight
Or I'll tape your big mouth shut
Drown me
as you please
I held my breath again
Look what you've done
Strip away
My identity
And you'll ask me last
Where I've gone to
Clear as glass,
Yet you cannot see
See all these chains on me
Can you get them away?
Stiff again
With no way out
Now wake me up from this
Endless madness
He surfaced?
Never again
Never again
Will I see the light of day ever again?
Will I see the light of day ever again?
Will I see the light of day ever again?
Will I see the light of day ever again?
See the light of day ever again?
See the light of day ever again?
See the light of day ever again?
Ever again?
See the light of day ever again?
See the light of day ever again?
Will I see the light of day ever again?
Ever again?
Ever again?
See the light of day ever again?
See the light of day ever again?
See the light of day ever again?
See the light of day ever again?
Ever again?
See the light of day, ever again?
See the light of day, ever again?
Ever again?
