i’m just one isolated guy
going over the falls
in a barrel
putting my last name to death
excited to see the end of my line
all my friends are insane
they’re my family but i’m not theirs
figures on the wall in the firelight
on a quiet day like this
you can hear them grow
so i’m up late at night
going over the plans
for a perfect machine
that will destroy the world
i am only one man
but i imagine that you know that

having a bad day?
what are you gonna do
you’re tired and you’re broke?
who gives a fuck
fuck you
this feeling is never going to go away
this glowing ember
has been sucked right up the flue
i love to die
but mostly i love to be killed
i think it’s great
when things don’t seem real
as a matter of fact
i find it ideal
here comes the moon
flowing through my eyelids
it’s talking to me
it’s found me again

building a house
that will fall apart
the first time that it rains
trying to get back in the womb
seek and never find
looking to wriggle away
very deeply sad
about some things that will never change
i got nothing to do
until later tonight
a tight and knotted rope
secured around my spine
water is like concrete
from that height
what’s precious i’m clutching close
keeping it far from the hands of time
working in the office
instead of the field
saving up until i can afford a cell
thinking about a second cup
thoughtfully stroking my chin and jaw
i wonder about the tunnel network
underneath denver international airport
and the sound of a metal key
heard underwater
scraping the bottom
of a pool

Dreamlike 98.6

let’s think about something else for a while
let’s take the think about something else challenge
let’s take an entire breath at some point
no pressure
just a thought
if we have a sec
if we get a chance
(a diabolical beast, its rippled flanks stuck full of useless arrows, ramming its skull against the gates)
gonna float in a tub
that’s 98.6
gonna stand in the light
that slanted in the window when i was a kid
gonna open my skull
and see what i can fix
if the hotel staff asks
i’m gonna sleep for a month
and yeah i’m ok with it

Siege Weapons

wielding incredible psychic power
from the front seat
of my honda
pontificating about scarcity
from the comfort
of a rented chair
dripping at all times
with pure animal fear
burning mirror in my eyes
losing my fingers in my mind
i’ll likely die here
walking up and down the streets
of a world that in no way belongs to me
i’m begging you to shatter my fantasy
before it gets the best of me
trust you haven’t seen the last of me
crawling naked from catastrophe
if i have some time later
i might honor my ancient wounds
take the 6 train
to the temple of dendur

outside
on the first warm night
in 600 years
sneaking on to the property
wearing all black and some quiet shoes
right now it’s morning in australia
i wonder what they’re worried about down there
in the dark i hear the real sound
of a human being
throwing my shoulder into the door
bursting into the room
i can see by the look on your face
you didn’t expect me so soon
did you think i couldn’t hear you too?

Quitting Factory

the grass was incredibly green that day
as i sank into the ocean
i’ve spent a lot of time
in the tower of iron will
right under the thumb
of various lords
someone is whispering what i should do
either god or the devil
not sure who
is there mold in your childhood home
that you maintain in your mind
are your dreams gonna to put you in
the ground
It’s a good thing I can’t change any of it
i’d never get any rest

lights of a huge ship
not sure exactly
what i look like
if you know, please
keep it to yourself
i can’t help but think
in these wide open spaces
this would be a great spot
for a prison camp
if you ever find my body
tell people that
i was working on
something cool
think for a second about what it actually means
to be rats in a cage
screaming and scratching and tearing at each other
in a cramped and crowded space
it’s a nice day to stand on the steps
and look down the street
plenty of time to lay by the fire
when I die and go to hell

Nothing Helps For Long

staring at a knife
laying in the sink
i think i used it to kill a demon
in my dream
why be so full of fear
about not getting what you need
i mean look, you won’t
but why be afraid
you don’t know what i’ve been through
neither do i
if i could remember i’d tell you
buried under glass
and looking out
people passing by
are looking in
a man who is drowning but cannot drown

looks like i’m getting a hole in one of my gloves
something’s alive and moving around in my house
soon i’ll be homeless and my cat lives inside
something good’s gotta happen
by process of elimination
i just don’t care what i think about myself
i don’t want my pity and
don’t want my help
i like my manner remote
like a mountain fortress
i like my feelings detached
like a garage
livin’ under the BQE
try your best
die like the rest

Bullet In The Rain
02:18

sometimes i get so nervous
i forget my true nature
there are replacements aplenty for me
but for what it’s worth
none will be the same
i’m sorry i’m late
i got locked in the museum overnight
those movies oversell it
but it was actually pretty cool
smooth fade out
panning left to right
i don’t feel anything around me
like a bullet in the rain
i wonder if i could hit you with a rifle from here
i wonder if they’d catch me or
if i could make it out of town
i just want somebody to kill

By Misadventure

welcome back to the place where we sit and transgress
and lament the transgressions of others
unmarred by the scars of success
the permanence of metal against flesh
i’m glad you feel like you’re doing something
since there isn’t really anything you can do
i could be sitting and smoking cigarettes
in some decrepit officers’ lounge
i’m relieved that the city doesn’t care
if i fail or succeed
there’s rust on the railing
in the stairway
in this shell of a hull
of a building

i believe i would be supported
by the branches of the trees
if i jumped out the living room window
and all my friends agree.
i’m the man who can stop time
and clone himself
so my opinion is highly regarded.
i feel fine
even though we’re all gonna die
a long white hair
broken off halfway along the strand
throwing my shoulder into the door
spiraling away from the center
if i ever had a problem with whiskey
i would simply dry out a few weeks
if my baby ever left me
i would simply call the police
