    calamari

    the nice thing is
    when i look at the moon
    it’s like i see you too
    cliche, but true

    when i look at the sky
    i see blue
    i think of you
    the sadness you consume
    cliche, but true

    when i look at the ground
    i remember your cheeks… the round
    the sound of your voice
    how you gave so much joy
    and so much void
    how you destroyed

    would you like some calamari?

    i’m sorry
    sometimes i get distracted
    sometimes i wish we never attracted
    that there was no passion
    that there were no hidden factors
    that you weren’t an actor
    that there was a happily ever after

    “what’s on your mind?”

    i don’t wanna break your heart
    have i heard that before
    just as i hit the floor
    i take what i know
    i repeat
    as i laid
    stroked your heart
    wondered, have you been here before?
    have you stood at the door?
    i see the way your eyes adore
    they speak for, down to the core
    so i lay, listen
    what’s on your mind?
    let you unwind
    no going in blind
    i told you, thoughts are hard to confine
    you get behind
    can’t find anything to align
    your heart starts to decline
    as it hangs from a vine
    that’s why
    even when you look fine
    i want to know
    what’s on your mind?

    applause as i move on

    saw you across the room
    i just smiled, nodded
    the applause in my head
    for all the things you left unsaid
    how i rotted, but hold on
    i’ll blossom
    no longer a possum
    no longer hang on autumn
    forget boston
    the angry thoughts will soften
    as you become a fossil
    these are the things
    i hope to think
    as i swallow my drink and my pride
    instead of hoping to die

    life is paradise

    paradise
    throw the dice
    snake eyes
    play with your vices
    live for a slice
    pay the price
    slide on ice
    never think twice
    when you live wild
    it’s really actually
    quite nice

    gravəl

    dear investigator
    wonder what you found
    other than the fact we were bound
    what did you find
    was it all in my mind
    did i play a game
    did i play with fame
    can i drop the name
    take a seat, entertain
    what’d you find
    can i pour you a glass
    it’s nice champagne
    would you like
    it’s fine cocaine
    you know, he lives in vain
    like i slice my veins
    i’m not insane
    i just like it that way
    i can’t explain
    i try and stay in my lane
    it’s not my fault
    i like a good face
    it’s not my fault
    i live for today
    i just stay in my brain
    stroke the mane
    watch you live in pain
    throw my feet up
    ignite the flame
    honey, i told you
    i can play the game
    it’s not the same
    i don’t need to drop a name
    i can battle
    with just this candle
    my apple
    while i watch you gravel

    six months to feel bliss

    everyone said
    six months down the road
    you wouldn’t even know
    you wouldn’t remember

    you should be gone forever
    but it’s funny how things go
    should feel lucky
    still think of you like honey
    the warm, the fuzzy
    my ‘happy monday’
    i remember the ugly
    but i just think of it as lovely
    it all began like a study

    so happy
    life’s a journey
    wonder if you’ll think about me
    when you’re thirty
    if your brain will be mourning
    while the night’s storming

    i wonder if i’ll still think about you
    and all i went through
    just for you

    essentially misunderstood

    i could
    but i know
    it would do no good
    essentially misunderstood
    chop down the tree
    grab some wood
    light the fire
    cut the wire
    run free
    slash the tires
    conspire
    with good liars
    wear the attire
    it’s designer
    not easy to decipher
    just another reminder
    that i have a desire
    for a coldhearted tiger
    who i occasionally shower
    with love and affection
    tension and aggression
    and occasional conviction
    of the heart
    just because
    i like falling
    apart

    subliminally shown

    the things we speak
    the things we know
    the things that happen
    they come and go
    but maybe what happens
    is we don’t realize
    an existence
    so we’re showed
    and then showed the door
    just so we know
    what to look for

    noise of the night

    sleeping a mile apart
    still off mcclintock
    a few blocks
    i could walk
    stand outside your house
    wish we could talk
    wish my wheels wouldn’t lock
    think about you nonstop
    here i lie
    the clock, it moves
    tick tock
    sometimes it would be nice
    drop a bomb
    forget, be gone
    but i’d never mop
    i’ll always adore
    regardless of how you shut the door
    it’s not war
    because i have the liquor store
    and i always leave an open door
    just in case
    i finally get what i’m looking for

    mouse to man

    the mouths
    they move
    they talk about you
    i hear it all the time
    it’s a chime
    sometimes nice
    occasionally too loud
    i wish i could scream your name aloud
    the crowd, they’d take you to town
    your house, it’d break down
    the surround sound would pound
    you’d shout, cry, scream and howl
    i’d sit there going, “wow”
    there’d even be a clown
    he’d frown
    they’d paint my crown
    i’d tell you to lie down
    give you a pet owl
    you should be proud
    and thank me
    in your next round
    that i finally let you find
    the cloud
    you’re welcome
    now maybe you can stand
    like a man
    instead of a mouse
