there's a trapdoor in the ceiling and I don't know where it goes I run around ask people, nobody seems to know it seems that it must just come out in someone else's floor the more I think about it, I don't want to think about it anymore we're getting better at getting bitter you're getting weaker, you're getting thinner it gets a little bleaker here almost every winter clothes make man, but man makes clothes his solutions are cold, I'll come up with my own that place is hard to miss and I haven't seen it since
2.
you should be all right you act like you know how to fight you should have a bright future in spite of the fact that you never learned to be slick never learned to talk shit you're all sarcasm, no wit you could have them rolling over, chasing sticks sitting on command, and performing similar tricks you look ok in some lights but not when they're glaring and bright straighten up or stick to the night don't get left... get right
3.
this box of nerves makes the time pass slowly the thoughts i had almost killed me does this place fulfill any need of yours? to be superior, for understanding the different faces that the day is demanding but did anybody tell you that you don't have to like these people you meet and you don't have to learn how to speak but you should be prepared to creep along the street like a dirty-water stream in a thirty-hour dream pulling muscles pushing papers condemnation of a layperson putting things in order applying bricks and mortar reduced to common sorter while life is getting shorter but you never know maybe they'll find a temporary diamond in you maybe none of the omens are true and you won't be headless in a crowd for too long alone with head less in a cloud than a fog
4.
the troubled youth will embarrass and confuse you if they sense an untruth only one left alive to see the vision I'm the last of the crew, but it wasn't my decision in line with all the premonitions I am fast and on the mission the troubled youth will be embarrassed and confused by you if you lose touch with your roots acting like everything hurts acid remembrance

Just Deserts 02:39
in this storm I bend my knees to almost ninety degrees rain and I slant and meet almost parallel to the street my friend, you'll grow up and die or worse, stay alive and die inside and I am right there behind you you'll make up ridiculous lies and act all pissed-off when nobody buys them my friend, you've grown up and died on our first day alive you've died inside and when it rains out, it hurts you and when the sun's out, it burns you someday the pain will desert you

Onomatopeons 02:19
we could rule New York from the living room couch we could take over the world without leaving the house silence our fears and amputate doubt lock hands and move things without touching them now I tend to float two feet off the ground and speed across landscapes, whispering, soundless you've removed the impedance I prefer you to me now I used to have ideas about you it's a good thing that I carried them I had a handful of fears around, too I'm glad to have buried them
7.
of course, everybody hates commercials so think outside the box, but sometimes in a circle what else do you have? sometimes the sun not only shines, but smiles it thinks the world revolves around itself there is wind and it howls yeah
8.
put on this suit underneath my skin it used to keep others out, now it just keeps me in carefully straighten it every day before work internal pants and subdermal shirt I adjust the thermostat in my skull I can't help but think everybody must know sometimes I could stand to be permanently walled comportment displaying no lies at all if I knew better, I don't think I'd say these holes in my head are getting bigger every day
9.
has it come to your attention that I haven't been doing shit around here? has it ever occurred to you that I might know the difference and just not care? totally out of it, right in the middle of it falling behind and I don't even give a shit I hope you're happy with your mad racing thoughts can you ignore them? they're all that you've got now they're sticking to the walls in your head pull and pry but you'll never be rid of them grabbing the stars and reordering them at will figuring out new ways to talk to myself paranoid? narcissistic? realistic floating, static happy and sad at the same time oblique, not misaligned
10.
camped out on the edge of the world transmitting in obsolete code I've got six inches of beard ready to grow there's a pill for every time of day you must learn to swallow what's the point of swimming, anyway? when it's all so shallow it gets so tiresome, counting seasons the faces of the innocents are creased and lined for different reasons (ready to go)
11.
my knuckles are cracked my hair is parted I've gone over my act I can't wait to get started and if I see you there, I'll see you there it's where you find out what's wrong with you and I'll forget just why I hated you you pay only this low price there isn't subtle like a knife it'll go from whine to wail
