I saw a boy who looked a lot like you today.
He sat alone and didn't talk to anybody.
His brow was tight and looked just like life or death, like the way you looked late at night before we'd go to bed.
Do you ever think of me? 'cause it's only the ghost of the past that will last in your dreams.
I can't help but think of you when I think of me.
With fingers to the sky I used to curse your name.
With time and resolutions not a lot has changed.
Awkward conversations and half-hearted laughs
Threw threads across the Great Divide that you had slashed.

Spring fever
In The Bleak Midwinter
tar on black tire crash
gravel crush bloody me slash
With hair held in constant motion
if wheels stop we'll make a commotion and feet will run
Blank Street lamps
Come over handlebars With Papa's t shirt ripped hard
and purple dashing Skies
Car bumper hand grips
Left turn on right street
Green blurring hedge speed
Pink in the coat flaps
skin cracked In Pockets
breath clouding attitude lazy vindictive spray-painted Levi's
brick cobble click clack Clocks calling future
warm in the wind hits

Your Room

We lay in your bed
we lay in your bed
as the party progressed right next door.
We talked about death.
We talked about death as if we possessed
any knowledge at all.
We put it to rest. We put it to rest.
We lay down our heads as his eyes burn my skin.
Some people have left.
Some people have left.
His head is compressed from the alcohol.
Oh Mother Oh Father
Don’t Stop Holding me back
Oh brother Oh lover
What is it that I lack?

Riot

Went to the church one morning
to find Solace and peace.
Went to the steeple, they're hurting.
My people are hurting.
Someone had a great idea,
Someone had the best idea.
Let's start a riot, we're getting damn good at that.
Let's keep safe all the statues of bastards were dead.
Let's rekindle the Flames of Wars put to bed,
and let's silence the problems that underlie the trends
Went to the courthouse today
to reclaim our Justice For Those shut away.
From screaming mouths come silence.
I feel safer throwing punches then throwing down my pride
I feel safer holding grudges than holding your hand in mine

Good Side

It's rained for four days straight.
The most beautiful days in this town,
'cause it's worn and it's run down.
But the rain washes out the sand
and fills in the cracks of this pavement land.
All the citizens say
I why don't you pray to our Gods
and work on our time
You've got demons we could cast out for you.
Why don't you follow our rules and you'll be all right.
You'll be all right.
Just stay on our good side
What the hell, what the hell happened here?
Everything is grey when the sky is clear.
The skateboarders crash by, they're tired of dying here
And a small town is something to be feared.
What if I don't pray to your God or work on your time?
I've got demons I'm unwilling to hide.
Whoever wrote those rules, are you sure they're right?
Are you sure they're right?
I'm not choosing sides.
