The River

There is this river
Never been to before
And God made this river
He said it was yours
I must confess
I’ve lost my way
And in that blue moment
You stand there and wave
So slowly
And at this river
I call out your name
We speak of redemption
And speak of the grave
I must confess
I’ve lost my way
You summon the angels
You tell me my name
So slowly

I Hate Everyone

I hate everyone
And it fucking shows
I hate everyone
Right down to their fucking toes
It’s not that fucking simple
But there’s still hope yet
The threads are all jumbled up
They’ve ruined the entire set
I put the brownies in the oven
For too fucking long
I hate everything and even this song
I’ll take a shit in the mouth
Of your culture
Set it ablaze
Till it’s nothing but smoke and sulphur
Fuck you and your arrogance
Your language is not yours
You stole it from the colonizer
Of this I’m fucking sure
Fuck everyone
And their quicker wit
Brevity is lost on me
And I fucking quit.

Baby you’ve never felt this good before
Where you been baby?
It’s been a long time coming
Your mind is covered in flakes of gold
One thought of you sets these bones alight
It’s got to be love ive never felt this way
Maybe I could’ve done a little better
At articulating how it is I feel
Thoughtful, thoughtless, doubtless, not at risk
Unexpected you stop and frisk meeee
What is this an airport.?
I guess it is
They say that you’re mean
But the way you’re mean to me
Baby it’s an education
They say it’s in your tone
One which I do not condone
Baby it’s and education
I try to resist
Tell you how everybody is pissed
But baby it’s an education
Everybody should know what I know
You never looked so good

I’ll rise up again
to fight you dear friend
your weight upon my back/neck
i’ll follow you I guess
i guess that I should
pick up where I left
from underneath your foot
a crustacean
on the river bed
come out of your house/shell
get on your feet
walk on the needles that you made/let me keep.
you laugh at me so hard
then crawl into my arms
you whisper to me
I’ll never do you any harm
you left me here to clean
to soak up all i’ve seen
a murder in the streets
are your stories now complete?
i’ll sow up my jaw with string
blinding waves of pain that sing
I remember what i was asked
shall we throw it in the trash
they couldn’t stand the sight of it
come out of your house/shell
get on your feet
walk on the needles that you made/let me keep.
you laugh at me so hard
but cry in my arms
and whisper to me
ill never do you any harm
you simply refuse
to put up with my shit
and measure up each word and say you’re sick of it

Back Again

The curtains are drawn the message is so clear the national hour for lovers to sing about those they hold dear old friends come back again I swear i speak the truth and I can't stop mentioning your name and all the things you do fierce fist fractured wrist I think I've lost a tooth
there's murder on your breath again
i'm so in love with you
The curtains are drawn the message is so clear the national hour for lovers to sing about those they hold dear I keep a tab on all those things
you do or do not do
you laugh at me incessantly
you say that can't be true
we write these stories who knows why
we care too much to ask
and plasticine is all we need
to make these memories last
oh please lord save me from myself.

Party

this party is good but I can hardly breathe
this party's just fine
but i can hardly speak
this party's a mess
and you are undressed
in the room
the story moves on
we can not fight the gloom
where does one go when they're on their knees what does one do when they're on their knees This party is banging but i want my mother this party is swinging
you belong to some other This party's a mess
and you are undressed
in the room
the story moves on
we can not fight the gloom
