(after Charles Wright)
something’s off-key in my mind
whatever it is it bothers me all the time
time is going by and
i’m stuck here in this moment
i’m ready to let go
in bed, dead head
since a week ago
something’s off-key in my mind
whatever it is it bothers me all the time

some things never change they just get old
i can’t even feel it but my head calls it home
i think of your car racing down my street
skidding away, a white flag was raised
you picked me up after work to grab a drink
you said that there’s comfort in routine
but I don’t know
I don’t know if I buy that from someone so low
then with nodding eyes under prell-light skies
you asked me how long we’ve been asleep
some things never change they just get old
i can’t even feel it but my head calls it home

last night i tried to talk to you sober
wrote the script out in my head
then when i ran into you at the party
i think you ripped something out of my head
so do what you please, just don’t forget it
after some drinks, maybe ill admit it
now im at the brink of language
heading out of the bathroom stalls
i see you perched over by the counter
shrouded in light as bright as god
but when I try to catch your attention
im rapt in the beat of your walk
and i descend back into myself
at home in my porcelain vault

hippie darling
sunshine on your chest
daisies dot your wrist
hair flows on your back
hippie honey
beehive eyes, yeah
sweet and so redeemable
I want to know what it’s like
I want to know what it’s like
To be enveloped in your sweet belief,
my immediate relief, to pick you up On your feet,
hippie honey I want to know
What it’s like to breathe again, to see again
You understand,
You radiate,
You get the race
You had a taste
I want to know what it’s like
To feel so at ease
To please
To believe
I want to know what it’s like
Hippie darling to have you
Would make me feel alive

you rustle your hair
you act like you don’t care
you say things you don’t mean
claim you do whatever you please
but your body, it runs like a machine
though it can’t function when you're clean
and these days you’re running thin
doing anything that you can
to get through the boring day
the emptiness in your way

babys turnin water into wine
claims shes gonna fix me up just fine
who am i to decline this type of sign
oh how i love her lovely mind
she softly sways into the room
dancing her sweet fruitless blues
shrouded in the half light of a strobe
purges me of what i need most

bug feast

i watched the sun sit
on her throne of shit
turned and arched my head
it was full of lead
we are surrounded
by endless seas of green
the clouds have left no trace
the air is a sultry, barren breeze
glaring into the sun,
i think I saw your face in the trees
i blinded myself looking through the leaves
i felt the sting of ivy sucking on my knees
and I thought I felt your breath
but the bugs were just eating like kings

another day, another way
to find out what to say to you
i don’t know how to tell you the truth
i think i’m in love with the moon
and i certainly don’t love you anymore,
i’m sorry baby i’m so blue
i never did find out what to do
its so easy to get caught up in yourself
when the world around you is fading blue
grab a friend and make him DD
and we'll stop by our local melancholy convention
finds some girls to put us at ease
empty out a couple of colorful bottles
and let our breath stink of whiskey
and lookin back you failed that piss test,
and i felt bad for your folks
knowin' i got the better bargain
and now I’m out of that hellhole
and lookin back you failed that piss test
and the walls around you shrank
your momma told you you gotta habit
you better kick it or youll kick the bucket
and now ...
