he said, "there's something caught between my lips and my teeth" "I'm so sorry if I ruined your day but I'm not a bad man, I just can't stand the thought of being alone" he said, "now that you know I guess I'll take my leave but good luck and god speed" what a very bad man

words like paper wrapped around an empty shell nothing is hidden, nothing hides but I've mummified my self in lies out of the blue, into the deep, out of my mouth it will sleep I am an animal I am a man no more I am an animal I'm an abandoner so I don't have the words to spit it out a head full of teeth so talk the world to death ashes to ashes, must will must, feeling for lust with a brimstone touch against the wallpaper inside my head, unknown it will keep it's my addiction to avoid it's in every haunted noise, it goes on and on and on and on

only been trying so hard to kill the children of angry ghosts to rid yourself the stench of defeat but you're alright swallow the spirits of the dead and gone so you learn to live again waste not want not, it's not enough maybe you should try sleeping without the lights maybe you should try driving in cars again who knows how long it's been? stay the same, it's ok you're not to blame

mingle with the ashtray step inside my feeble mind can't afford to check the temperature why has god been so unkind? and we wait for higher beings and we wait for stepping stones and we wait for higher dealings I just want to be alone don't be afraid when you lie without meaning to praying for your god to die without use it's something that we all do from time to time nothing unusual in your life in the mouth of the wolf, I hope he dies (this is so boring) awake and cold at sunrise (we are so boring)

in a field in my dreams the only home we've ever known on a mote of dust in a sunbeam slipped through the crack in the window until we learn just how to borrow tomorrow, today will do led on and let down fed up and shut down save yourself for someone who's someone else so tired of waiting so tired of everything so tired of failing and it's done

the only time he falls asleep is behind the wheel with places to be shattered hips, conniption fits when he goes out, nearly every day he's already buzzed take care of it chews on his feet with fiberglass teeth so down to the earth, buried under the dirt it didn't hurt the mortal folly of wanting to be somebody the city as a dichotomy between illness and sleep he don't wanna die alone he just wanna live in a bright shiny new wasteland lickety split and it's done, the credits rolled and no one won.
