There was a little boy He liked to play with dead things First it was ants Then he moved up to squirelles Birds But his favorite of all Of all the dead things Was his sister _ this little boy grew to a man not any kind of man you’d want for a neighbor his lawn was dry and brown newspapers piled up around his porch and every Saturday, while you were pruning your trees mowing your lawn you’d look over and see your home value dropping. Whats he doing down there Didn’t seem like he had a job Friends or family Or even a dog Well, he had a dog And called it sister _ and then the cops came for him and he was dead.

She said, ‘give me the shovel’ then smacked him across the head it cut him wide just above the eye and the crows started screaming I think he’s bleeding bleeding is dying dying, he’s dead she dug a hole not very deep for the ground was pitted with stones the body barely covered a hand hung out all hopscotch in salutation she said give me the shovel and the ghost of his memory obliged and layed her out cold she said give me, the shovel she said give me, the shovel

this end is beautiful all ruby red love obsession descend this, end it all starts here rebirth a butterfly moth a new beginning never thought I'd get caught I was too good they were so pretty sinful and delicious I was born again descend this is where I begin where do I begin the way is no longer clear I have taken your communion Your Circumcision And I pull these lonely threads Back to the beginning And this end Is where I begin.

Terrible sleep Weakend by the sound of Your laughter Gripped by the fear Of your heavy hands And My eyes, closed, shut I CAN’T HEAR YOU YOUR HOT SWEET WHISKEY BREATH I CAN’T SEE YOU YOUR HOT SWEET WHISKEY SWEAT Orphaned by sleep My thoughts fail me Murder in hate Your stench kills me And when I wake from this It still lingers I CAN’T HEAR YOU YOUR HOT SWEET WHISKEY BREATH I CAN’T SEE YOU YOUR HOT SWEET WHISKEY SWEAT And when I wake It still lingers

We’re cut From the same cloth You and I Its rotted and thin From too much dye Sliced into ribbons And frayed at the ends But I’m throwing you out like Fair-weather friends. I’m an outsider, chameleon You can fake time Empty heart Stare right through, invisible inside Make believe you’ll be honest Make me belive Everythings all right. Please take these broken hands I’m not able To grope my way home Please take these broken hands And let them speak Of all that is wrong Make belive you’ll be honest Make me believe Everything’s all right

You might be right Oh yeah, you might be Right down on the inside You might be But I don’t think so There’s a tumor Black ink bleeding Just inside It negates, everything You might be right You might be But I don’t think so You try and engage be part of the team “I got you back I got your back I got your back!” and all that hi-five shit makes every right, wrong twisted and bent just like your fucking logic you might be right you might be but I don’t think so.

I’m spinning stories, real Fucking tall tales Something sorry, something true Words fall useless from my craw Like spit blood bone Don’t you think I’m clever Its all been done There’s not a twist untried But you’ll listen this time Not like the last time Don’t you think I’m clever Don’t you think I’m clever There’s a message here Buried deep, black Dig and you might find it Or, then again,maybe I’m just clever Here’s where it gets heavy Slightly Existential Possibly Shallow Don’t you think I’m clever Don’t you think I’m clever
