No, This is My Territory

It's home I see
Outside we breath easy
Holding on to relief
It's strange yet usual
We hope it's mutual
To be comfortable again
He's pacing around
Up and down
The street where we sit
He's off then he's gone
The symptoms roll off my back
Like slow motion bead pulling on wax
Smooth friction slowed to a crawl
They drop off, I'll wait for more
Nothing is wrong but everything is raw
Focus is honed and I'm in awe
That my anatomy exists
And we are all designed to fail
The kids run by
He pulls out his gun
Shots one two
He's off then he's gone
And if my assumptions are ultimately true
A swelling, a twitch, or a bullet going through
What's it matter in the end?
Malignant cells or murdering
We're all just trying to make it through
Another day without succumbing to
An untimely death with all our regrets
But that's just what we're designed to do

Brain Sweat

I come home and you've been drawing all day
Sitting on the floor with that sad smile drawn on your face
Working towards a paycheck; paying our weekends away
We both know that you're not going to stay
I'm tied up
I'm let down
Thinking too much for a turn around
But we know, my brain is
Sweating off this fever
So here I am without the thought of plans
To come back home, to come back home again
And I don't care because caring took me away
To this city that can't force me to change
I'm tied up
I'm let down
Thinking too much for a turn around
But we know, my brain is
Sweating off this fever

Mental Math

I wonder why I am alone all the time
Without my mind to figure out what you need
But I am listening to you
In the heat we still hide under sheets
Cause we don't know where to go
Looking around we got this town
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody knows
You and me we had everything
But we don't have anything to show
Looking around
Nobody knows
Now I'm losing all my motives
To move on from this
Now you're on your own again
And you've figured it out
All by yourself
We are not the same
Now I'll have to find solace in something new
Look at it, look at it, it's coming true
And let's hope that you'll find it too
Because endings don't look for you
We are not the same

Change your clothes, pick up the phone
Cause you're ready
Call your brothers and drink another
Cause you're ready
Walk down the street as smooth as can be
Cause you're ready
Glide through the crowds, thinking so loud
That you're ready
You do what you got to prove
You're so cool, coolest guy in school
You're so cool, coolest guy in school
You do what you got to prove
Avoid her glance when she denies your advance
You're frustrated
Eyes to the floor as you walk out the door
You're frustrated
Don't let them know, you're defeated and broke
You're frustrated
Who is this guy? With that look in his eyes
You're frustrated
You do what you got to prove
You're so cool, coolest guy in school
You're so cool, coolest guy in school
You do what you got to prove
He steps back as your arm retracts
You push it through and make contact
As a last resort, as his jaw contorts
You lie your way through the police report
Why would he be set free?
When we all know what that would mean
You take the stand and lie again
All so you can prove
You're so cool, coolest guy in school
You're so cool, coolest guy in school
You do what you got to prove

Dead Man's Daughter
05:00
|

You're just looking for a dead man's daughter
Simple little friction to get you hotter - always, always
There's a bottle on the shelf and you can't help yourself
So you take it down, then you drink it down - always, always
But we can't tell you what to do
We can't tell tell you what to do
Hey now, look at your pretty little target
Look at her, look at her crossing the room - always, always
You're stealing drinks to make you innocent
She's falling for your hopeless indifference - always, always
Your intentions are true, as long as she comes to you
Your intentions are true, as long as she comes for you
Legs over your lap, it's a wonder it worked this time for you
Legs over your lap, it's a wonder it worked this time for you

Particle

Break into your head and look a little closer
a neural network stitched then folded over
Each crossing point a trillion atoms- shared electrons
Widely circling a spaced out lonely center
Lost in gods and hope for more
Holy grace and locked front doors
We won't be afraid
To die
On our way we
grasp and fall
On our way we
Hope for something
Narrow acts to fill the space between orbits
Blocked by particles filling lungs until you forfeit
When we reach the point before mass extinction
We'll be returning; running back into the forest
Free from gods and hope for more
Holy ghost and open doors
We won't be afraid
To live
On our way we
grasp and fall
On our way we
Hope for something
The deeper we get, the more we see that we're mostly nothing and we need something

What's Wrong with You?
02:36
|

I was unloading my groceries in the parking lot
When I was returning my cart, I accidentally bumped your car
You rolled down your window wearing your Sunday church clothes
And all you could say was this
What's wrong with you?
I bet you ironically questioned my behavior
Because I had hair and a beard like your savior
Chances are, if I had cut it all off
You wouldn't have went so far
Maybe I was just a little distracted
Because I just spent all the money in my pocket
On one weeks worth of food
That I'm hoping will last for two
And your husband is sitting all embarrassed
I see through him
I look into his fading eyes
And we turn our head towards you and say
What's wrong with you?

Road shut down and schools are closed on this winter day
But the snow is gone and the kids are warm, they go outside and play
They don't know what's going on
They roll in dirt and thank the sun
We will be your heart attack
You will be our paperback
Crowds are forming on the streets
Before your incoherent speech
Police are gassing everyone
Who don't believe in a rich man's son
And we all know it's different this time
We all know what's on your mind
We will be your heart attack
You will be our paper back
And we all know it's different this time
We all know what's on your mind

I was walking through the grass to find my mind again
I've got something for us. Ow, the one who's lost is found
We are not the simple minded friends that pass us by
It's over now, until it's found and lost again
Three years time, it's no surprise it's nowhere to be found
So I'll let it be, with uncertainty until it returns again
It's the complicated nature of letting go
It's over now, until it's found and lost again
I don't want to break it
So I will not take it
Far and wide
You don't have to save it
For us to make it
For all time
But we lie so freely
And we die so easy
