See my desire (I still) [Unlucky] Then do the opposite (Lie still) [Undisciplined] Feed me a fire (Heel) [Doesn't matter] Then play the moderate (And heal) [Same direction]

When the crucifix Tightens it grip Around the skeletons Of your skeletons And won't loosen I'm lost for reason Its never black and white What is it like To be on one side? What is like To fake peace of mind? Draw me the line Where your smile used to be And where your lips used to bend Oh so freely There's that ancient river You've filed in with concrete And me drinking holy water From that forgotten stream So when the crucifix Tightens its grip Around the skeletons Of your skeletons How I wish They are beyond recognition Like a ghost with no coast to haunt And those shadows Are just overshadowing A safer place for mourning And endless mornings Draw me the line Where the sun used to be And where the light used to bend On the land of the free But our obsession With these petty lies Turned the days into nights Maybe God civilized us to know why

Infamous 03:33
They're on their knees In front of me I feel the evil Warmly settle in Are they so desperate for Christ That I would suffice? Just let me think of a price God damn Famous So God damn Famous For nightmare standards Sing back my cantor More wine with communion I tied strings to this union They're so desperate for Christ The young they sacrifice Flesh freshly served sliced God damn (You can't say my name) Famous So God damn (Without a wince) Famous Don't act so surprised It only cost me your life This acts performative And ultraconservative You slurred through the words For a truth preferred Like leaving the door open for more And then blaming the wind

You are whole You are permanent Wherever I go I carry words you meant Because you have soul You have temperament This feeling never came and went Let me Rename you "mine" And I'll be "Faithfully yours" Color me rusty And overexposed A burn so bad It glows through my clothes Like the moon that tucks me in You are everything
5.
I built you a mirror So you could see yourself In new light In real time And watch how you dance How you sing Not the melody But those words you're silently mouthing We are one of those Chose to honor vows Drown it out in prose Let go. Be here now We are one... You built me a window (And you are everything) Through the hands I was hiding in (Everything that I ever wanted) From new light (And when the light it catches you) I was reluctant to embrace (I know the night will never dim for me) So now when I fly Its the ground I miss And Virginia mountains We overcome We are one of those Chose to honor vows Drown it out in prose Let go. Be here now We are one...

You In My Ts 05:09
I thought of that afternoon instead And how your twin sized bed Is clearly mislabeled It hardly seems able To sleep more than one person Without you close in my Ts But dreams offer no guarantees So I thought of that afternoon instead And how those titles I had read Were clearly mislabeled Why do I pay for cable? This story has one version I call it you in my Ts But dreams offer no guarantees Because dreams are never guaranteed Then the thought of that afternoon instead And how stuck I get in my head I am clearly mislabeled Misinformed, or whatever he said Another day and I'd be cursing But you're here in my Ts And dreams offer no guarantees Because dreams are never guaranteed

When does a point break Become a breaking point Or a point made? They made it to break me And repeat But we're not alone So let's make a throne Out of our backbones And if you have some money To spare the cause Credit cards are acceptable The effect is corruptible Now the point break Denies the breaking point Becomes a point made They made it to break you Just try to pursue it There is nothing there to prove Now you are alone And they've made this throne Out of your backbone And now you have no money To bail you out But your soul is acceptable Everyone is corruptible So when the hot rain Gives you cold feet Remember that the old stains Can't beat the new weak If you're no weaker than their seat Then you're no weaker than me You're no weaker than the system They have all claimed not to be

Two shimmering and shivering Sliver silver moons Reflecting off black oceans Too wide to see across Raise a flag in the war zone That was this parking lot Did they eat the heart from the heartland? Two blistering and boiling Bitter blue suns Shining on rivalries And where they draw their lines In the sand to divide All humanity Do they still taste their love on the ends of their teeth? Our pain in competition The chair warmer Poses no solution But if he cares enough He'll learn the words no matter what Repurpose them For reelection Reappear to appear sympathetic I'll give it one week Before he's hungry again
