1.
I want a sad girl to kiss to feel alive to hold the jealous knife to crush soft dreams tonight heartbreak's a privilege you'd hate to deny tell him he's older // old enough not quite the soldier though fake but he's so sure he knew you before he knew you for he's only wearing soft sheep skin and in his gaze a wolf's blue grin below, and you wrote the ripped out pages again and again
2.
the great north has me by my boots pacing in my wooden room looking out the windows at the clouds and all the birds flew away yesterday in the darkened afternoon they left the branches bare and a cold thinness in the air the great north has me by my teeth to pay the debt of twelve forgotten weeks and to think you'd seen it in a drawer hid away, the hours fade there's shadows on the window shade again
3.
cricket trap 03:24
she looked at me like all the pretty lights like awful things weren't always my type all the loveless moments she'd prepared that summer was a figure eight caught up on the crest of a wave the son of sam would reap away the days, hey for every doubt she'd told me I would break for hours crumbled into days the shades of light of revolved always and you can turn it in your hand so spare me senseless hours on a box spring bed left bare while the thought of it defeats me care / don't care I'm not here / not there
4.
people want surprises they expect a lot of lazy folks won't crick their neck to see what's next just ask you to undress you're only naked its not fatal not the reaper at the cradle caught confessing cold and vulnerable alone without a vice come and greet me with a knife
5.
peter cottonmouth, there's a way out of this trap you've been living in there's a way out of the trash, kid in every cooked place made straight you're still tongue tied to your mistakes lied through your teeth ten times home so face it friend, you're better off alone so stop doing drugs and start getting fat you know its time you let yourself go in ten years I hope to be a child wide eyed at the bright world frightened of tall strangers without manners I forgot to mention I am overwhelmed always
6.
broken bottles & crushed red cans blue boxes ripped open with eager plans the days we hardly noticed till they'd gone away take me away and you could see it from the garden oh did you drink any water? parched the paisley's colors all half dried away take me away on holiday we can hide if the wind howls, we'll pass for strangers in noisy crowds we'll lie and change our names not for nothing no love lost the faces changed, somewhat after all the drugs we bought have left our heads the money's gone
