lyrics

I've been trying to keep awake

I think I need a little darkness

Cussing out the strangers in my bed

Shaking the blood back to my dead wrists




Swear I've been living up to standards

Caught up in the devious scandal of common logic

Unlike all them glorious ghosts

who sleep so soundly in red letter pages




So come on, come on, get back to awareness

Beating the sides of my head with my fists

Reading, reading the lines in the traffic

While the flat stink of dog food is making, is making me sick




Filled up my brain with cyclical shames

and quiet them down on a river of velvet

I've gotten good at just speaking to names

and forgetting the love

That I used to put into it




Serving my sentences up on a platter

Clinging to stimulants hidden in the leaves

Singing a lot of dumb songs for deaf zephyrs

Rock paper scissors with an amputee




Come on, come on get back to the coppice

Everything I said I hate, I now miss

Stuck in the flow, you never wanted this

Well I'll be the rose that grows in the horse shit
