let me leave

passin' the rules along,
when you set me down i'll still be free,
the morning lasts til noon,
many stones placed by sorrow,
thats not how i taught you to steal,

not looking for some kind of favor,
you know mine stays through,
the shore unsure, the stains i'm drowning from,
I'll scratch out a new word in the kitchen floor,
these things we can't untie,

I'd rather make some gumbo

dont know where you go

love to stay the night all day,
my only kind of poor heart,
never makes me pass the time,
a good life press or pray,

though my ticket lasts only til noon,
but tonight, the covers stay cold,
a stranger tried to keep you,
is there any body left on the moon,

you came down like a stone,
can still hear the whistle blowing,
make over, hung over, the last time i ever want to love you,
it suits me lady,
if there's anyone left outside your room,
i'd be letting go too soon,
keep you dying here on my own.

stutter

makes me well to see you full,
a lone full dagger limbers across your tongue,
like a bird drowning in its flesh,
you look to the sun, just to lose your mind.

A mystery gift, sailing setting sound,
gave you a letter to hide,
main stage, brought you back home, to heal my frail,
you're a dinosaur now, no one wants to feed you.

Lines me up with his finger,
you're not the boy i'm looking for, what happened to my son?
a Little bit crazy now, he says,
a railway mishap, some creature with a gun.

sanitation

you feel when this tragic mystery unfolds through,
coming home to find out you're undone,
beauty resembled the anger you left here for,
even after looking at the condensation on her brow,
it wasn't yours to own.

she's with him now, blessed breach,
the willow leaves against the stream,
another slotted spoon soon to be arranged,
comfort the taste, a memory of how you learnt to speak,
blacked out laser beams.
