my left foot

my left foot showed up first
in a box on harper's doorstep
my right foot showed up last
in a box at lord selkirk
they found my chest in a suitcase
au coin de st. catherine et st. laurent
but they'll never find my heart
no they'll never find my heart
don't you know that you destroy me?
don't you know?
and yknow it's kind of a relief
cause i hate my fucking body
it's such an ugly goddamn prison
when it's not entwined with yours
i couldn't eat and i couldn't sleep
so what difference does it make?
every day a gauntlet of my thoughts
at least this way i can float and watch
as you fry it up with dill and mayo
struggle to keep it down
trying to eat my fucking heart
trying to eat my heart
don't you know that you destroy me?
don't you know?
i don't know why but you destroy me
i don't know why

tiny house

i have a dream i have a dream
it's about you it's about me
living in a tiny house under the mountain
with a concrete lawn and a little porch where you can ash
it's two bedrooms one and a half bathrooms
it's got a purple door but the sidings are gray
and inside are more guitars than i can play
linoleum i sweep three times a week
and a hole in the wall from that one fight
i don't know why my brain does this shit
try to forget you then i dream that you wanna talk
just wanna talk
we split this house in two marked by your clothes on the floor
your books are tattered my mostly unread
and there's dust on the little jesus we brought from rome
one week it's a home one week it's a siege
and all the while i just wanna sleep with the enemy
you say i work too much you say this country sucks
i know i try too hard i don't know why my brain freaks
when it's just a dream
but that house is pretty cute
don't think i'd turn it down

isaac
02:52
|

you were reading numbers in the dark
to trick your brain and plant a seed
so much of life lost to sleep
i'd like to see your integer dreams
sometimes i wonder if your mind
has a row for human faces
in all the shelves of formulas
the hidden jars of your emotions
isaac, oh isaac
what are we doing?
we laid in your orchard
now you're burning its trees
isaac, oh isaac
i've never heard god
isaac, oh isaac
let me be your ram
oh isaac don't you know
your book'll be read aeons from now
remembered for your genius
not as the little lamb who lived
have you seen an axe of gold?
have you tread your mother's basement?
do you believe in heaven?
is that why your body scares you?
isaac, oh isaac
don't worry about your brother
he never was born
he never suffered
isaac, oh isaac
i had a dream
of you and i and no one else
rewriting this world's laws

eden, idaho

two boys from eden, idaho
sit at the side of the road
they're taking potshots at the passing semis
for no reason at all
they've got a .22 and camo vests
over their slayer shirts
they've got a shack out there in the brush
scrap metal wedged between two rocks
they spend a lot of nights out there with their stash of pbrs
a deck of cards three stained playboys
they shoot the shit over a barrel fire
about obama and teddy k
some nights they get drunk enough to talk about god
and see the voids in eachothers' eyes
a widower from eden, idaho
treats his t-bird like a child
he polishes her up three times a week
and every thursday takes her out
he puts in reign in blood on real low
so he can listen to her purr
and he blows down those winding roads
like they lead to better years
and in the night and wind he can see her face
straining not to smile as she tells him to slow down
but baby slowing down don't make it last
he says to himself before the shot and swerve
and every night they drank she'd talk about the future
all the roadtrips they would take
one night in eden, idaho
bitter flames licked a careless sky
one night in eden, idaho
i wondered what i'd do without you
and every night in eden, idaho
we wonder which one is the snake
and every night in eden, idaho
we wonder which one is the snake

solvent

silence the deadly golden cry out don't stay behind
stay up internal breakdown bloodflow drip from the eyes
incest the inner reason fast life lay in decline
sank back in fresh arrival face split with life so why
remorse a heartless soul senseless no apparent self control
since then cold uncaring accusations run wild
accelerate the heartbeat or so seen with their eyes
twisting with truth or fact a kind of story that lies
motion sickness is screaming stab cut retard my mind
remorse a heartless soul senseless no apparent self control
tiresome a sacred leader sensations more than die
fortune is worshiped highly one day to pray then die
melting in fiery sand quick sink in false so high
over erase replace cancel the way a trial
remorse a heartless soul senseless no apparent self control

my right foot
02:49
|

rat's blood pools on concrete
as they remember the rain, remember the plague
i hate all the homes i'll never live in
with their sad yards and neglected lives
don't you know that you destroy me?
don't you know?
you're quitting again, this time it's for real
smoke seen through glass and the sound of rain
i hate that dingy apartment where you tried to end it
i don't know why but i dream of it
you once said that every breath
is just one step closer to death
so hold my fucking throat
don't you know that you destroy me?
don't you know?
i don't know why but you destroy me
i don't know why
