lyrics

hic-cup

my disjointed brain does gymnastic tricks for weight in the bucket
lift rent sets three times daily water the dishes give proper sunlight to the oven
my garden hose home got kinked and lost its heart in a complex apartment
meant to be comfortable my foot in the door fell asleep
my pin and needle cushion needs more stuffing my cotton ball filling is falling out like words
i love you to a drum beat
scrap boxing in a circle rhyme to my heart murmurs good music sells itself to big name party
caps and favors trade green for concrete the imprint my smile left on her cheek
hollywood street teams i post up advertisement spots where her brain stops to pick up inspiration
each day these coffee shops never close and these roads never end
only reincarnate with a different name and a different hair-style
from the pointy sky scrapers to the long wavy grass
i can drive around your writers block for hours before i get old and thrown out
bad idea being character sketched in an empty park these swing sets get no wind
now-a-days and my electric run wishes won’t turn out to be beyond batteries
or dated pictures in someone’s top fifty albums collection
that was the time we vacationed in the wrong city
next to the only photo i own of myself is nailed to the bathroom wall fogging up in the morning
humans can’t fly but i broke the wings off a one way angel
loaded my head with three hundred passengers and crashed into a stack of papers
the black box composition journal entry detour lost my marbles in a marble notebook
saved my pennies in an old mayonnaise jar
i don’t buy your thoughts i rip them off
and sell my own patched up interpretations
full of holes and water leaks
a house
a shack
a box
of scrap paper



broken half painted under brushed less groomed more knotty dreading death under dirt
more boxed closed in open mind going bad unrefrigerated thought lost sleep with mind
i lock it all away

electric woman
short-circuited man
fuse box head
she blew my mind

do you ever wonder where all this missing ends
at a severed sidewalk
or black painted wall
overlooking empty space
no need for a camera
or all those years you spent practicing you first dates
how to memorize that empty feeling in your chest beginner’s workshop
