lyrics

360 proof

window shutters blink
caution
the dam in your sockets may overflow
open eye ducts bleed stains on my shirt
anger has its period - drip
on a pad- i draw question marks
music is playing in the sandbox with a shovel
i’ve been digging the same hole since i came out of one
exclamation point
its been a black and white polariod warped by leaking faucet
and i wish these damn memories would learn to cry for themselves
heir looms passed down the table blowing off wigs, reach for the salt
i’m a family broken at the seams
thread knotted and a needle without an eye
i’ll build my own fucking haystack
where’s the quit button and the promising tomorrows that slept in my playpen
left to go right in a maze without corners
paradise is paper umbrellas and i never swallowed the side dishes
undercooked bedtime stories
lullaby’s without kisses are curdled dreams
and she’s beautiful in her crevasses
the creases and folds
the cup of her ass
but baggy clothes and mittens keep me drinking
she wears herself inside out to tease me
brain like clockwork
mechanics plucking
springs churning
it’s my down fall and i follow gestures like batons
drunk circles doing themselves undone
veins tied around my neck
you strangle bottle necks and find climax at empty bottoms
connected by wires, down throat alcohol swabs
put a cork in it
you need to take care of your problems
give them an ice pack and bandage their mouths shut
i can’t hear myself shut up
mind hiccups
sing from the top of your lungs
then jump
because i need to watch
this house is a river and you were always to couch stuck to teach me to swim
tired of waking up down
wet
dieing every morning is like
an open shower curtain
my painting is smeared and i was always terrible at revision
but good at staying in touch with my emotions
we’re pen pals that hate each other
but glued at the seams
play me like a fiddle
tie my strings around your finger
then tickle my brain until it falls out of its bedroom
fuck your farewell waves
and pretty postcard shore lines
how could i say goodbye
when good is a relative term and everybody’s using it
but i can’t relate to them
my blood must be green
and my family must be a bush
i’ve been trapped in a backyard thinking about how your forehead wrinkles
indian style in a sandbox
with more dirt than sand
