Ill show you a trick withants whenThe suns high in the skywe canBurn them up to crispyblack shellsSee them crunched byold slow slick snailsLight the fuse inside thedead birdFeather flurries rain onour headsEmpty nest with threesmall brown eggsWell think of somethingbefore the night fallsDont hurt a flythey all sangDont rape a girlin bright mayDont kill anyone everLay still and standthis feverThe suns justA big glassWere all antsI love you

Sometimes pearshapedwomen meltdownOnto concreteSplashing sun andsidewalk insectsDown by these feetSometimes puddlesterrify meAs they gaze upScrap of paperfloating crumpledI cant pick upGoodbyeNo ones ever gonnafind out from thisshut mouthJust be sure to keepthese eyes closedthey can read thoseSometimes people usetheir sound holesPointed at meRusty winds groaningdown alleysBlow right pas meSometimes pipescreaking inside hereKnow me too wellFlesh and steel I hadcarved upFor a farewellToo lateIll never wish for itbut now it grows insidejust like a moth

She was giddywith remorseAs she skippedriver stonesOff slick rapidrushing headsBabies belchedfrom belowClenching shame inher stomachIt felt the same as thelast timeCramming fear in herwhite fistsHoping this is thelast timeShe put rocks inher pocketsShrunk away from thewaters edgeFell down hard by a treeShe stuffed shame inher pocketsIt felt the same as thelast timeShe crammed fear in herwhite fistsAnd hope this is thelast timeBrainsquealsSame as the last timeBrainsquealsShe hope this is thelast time

Its not about the boyfound slainIt aint about his lipsblood drainedYou shouldve seen hisdreams dissolveInto the dumpster behindthe mallIm goin down to thewonderful lifeIm goin down insidea satelliteIm goin down on thebullet trainIm goin down on the perfect dreamIts not about thefreeway droneThat score her tiredjourneys homeSoftly licking her to sleepHer eyes are closed tothe brake light streaksSleep in the softest bedEat everything you needNever ask anyoneFor anything at allWhy cant I stroke thisworld to sleepPlease help me strokethis world to sleepIts not about hisprescription brainDeprived of pills thatkeep it saneHe told himself he couldgo it aloneSee him plead with theunplugged phoneSleep in the softest bedEat everything you needNever ask anyoneFor anything at allThat restless old monkeyPrisoned inside of meStiff bones thatclose him inHe waits trappeddeep withinIm goin down to thewonderful lifeIm goin down insidea satelliteIm goin down onthe SSTIm goin down on theperfect dreamIm goin down to thewonderful lifeIm goin down like aripped up kiteIm goin down withbroken ribsIm goin down to adirty crib

I keep meeting you and meeting 
I have promises to keep 
I keep making them and leaving 
That looks like a carnival wig 
And two shiners 
Let's just say it crawled across the snow 
It looks like your left hand 
Don't love me 
I won't be afraid 
When my ears ring and my head spins 
I'll be on your good side
