Playing Possum
Left the 45 on
Another Mo Tucker song
Occupied until dawn
Sunday morning is gone
I didn’t mean to succeed
But with such certainty
I’ve gotten harder to please
And liked you better when I was 16
Getting further withdrawn
Reasons why I’m so gone
My list’s getting long
And the story goes on
Admit its like a disease
When with such certainty
Life is dull and extreme
You liked me better when I was asleep

Nothing Left
Clocking out at half past 10
Train’s a coming I don’t know when
Pace around the platform floor
Should’ve gone to the grocery store
Now there’s nothing left of the day
Just another thing they’ve taken away
Regimented into submission
Disciplined mode of total control
What’s a wage without relief?
Are you paid to give me grief?

Sulfate
He’s hit with the most
As if losing two wasn’t enough
Photographs gather dust
Iron coating it bleeds like rust
Near you / I hear you

Stone Heart Blue
Asking for more
Remember few
Sounds more like you
Circles around
Shark above ground
For someone new
Looks just like you
What’s in store
Wondering how many more
Stone heart blue
Someone should cut you in two
Walking around
The invisible crown
Stop talking down
God awful sound
See you around
You’ve lost what you’ve found
Wish you lived up
Thought you were tough
Stone heart blue
Someone should cut you in two

Her Clock Tower
Eleventh Hour
And still you cower
Hello, shadow, shallow
Exist in darkness
A certain prowess
Hello, shadow, shallow
Nine swords at play
Wavering away
Forseen decay
In night I’ll stay
In her clock tower
Abject power
Hello, shadow, shallow

Hearst
Cover me in tar
Total hectic control
You make it hard to know
This hell is breaking me down
Recover what they stole
The sound is drowning me out
Suffocating town
Is really getting me down
My soul is ripped in two, that’s how you like it
Unto the toll you brought upon my lifeline
I’ve got a feeling of / self-destruct
Cover me in tar
I’m not the one in control
You make it hard to grow
This hell is leeching me out
Suffocating town
Is really getting me down
Recover what they stole
The sound is drowning me out

Exaltation
Narcissistic needs
And erotic desires
Phantasmic ideals
For eternity
A construction of
Ideal needs
Stabilization, fixation
And exaltation

It’s Apathy
Despite her pain, another day
Eyes turn back, back into shame
Thinking straight is agony
But this madness is haunting me
Destroys me
It’s apathy
Destroys me
It’s agony

Dead End Descent
Well now that you’ve got me
I wonder how long you’ll want me
Rain looks down on my windowsill
And the mist is all that I feel
So I start, wade deep down
into a tunnel of flooding teardrops
crashing into nightmares
all the weight, its crushing
me into a dead end
all the weight, its crushing me
halting to a descent
though you see me so often
I feel as though I’m forgotten
Should’ve seen the look in my eyes
Once he got what he wanted
