lyrics

My apologies for my
Far away demeanor I
Had no intention of being rude
I will try and keep my thoughts on you
No its nothing
I can cope
Exercising past live’s ghosts
Sometimes the smell drips on so strong
Of gasoline and evening fog
Juniper and gin
Lavender and wax
Stoplight in my periphery and
Baseless unbound friendship pacts
I think I’ll take a train to Galesburg

Back when he once knew he loved me
Jealous god want nothing but me
Baby, emotive fake pointalize nakeed
all red your voice a puncture in my
head
Back when I let fire drive me
Leonora to Mars your storm inside me
Saline
No sickness cured or witches burned
all lead I drank your water till i bled

I am
The lengthening waves of a passing
strange noise
I am
The lingering cigarette smoke out of a
stranger's window in small town illinois

I can cough up blood in your guest
bathroom
I can argue with your god on this bar
room stool
I can syncopate my breathing to a spectre
leaving me

All these words are merely gestures
Into negative space where your face
festers
Smoke with
Playstation boys and their soft serve
dispensaries
Do they think that they’re impressing me
when all the time in memory

He’s
Singing in the kitchen
And I
Don’t dare turn the lock

He speaks of the garden of eden
He speaks of the garden of eden
I want freedom
He says ‘oh Aristotle’
He say ‘oh Aristotle’
I say we’ve been living hostile
For three years now

I don’t know how
I”ll sleep
Without your teeth inside the side of me
When every separate creature that made
up my body
Dreamed its own dream of you
Until my human hummed
He said ‘I think I’ll renew my lease on
you’
Cherry Street church bells ringing as I
cum

You’re the sound of the train

Factor faxum fossils
I’ve foreseen the fall of man
Fingerprint of fire
Won’t you tell me all I am
Tell me all I am
Tell me all I am

He says ‘we should have stayed in
Galesburg.’
I say ‘no’--

For if you’re so sure you loved me
Why would you need something not me
Baby, emotive fake pointalize nake-
(ed) all red your voice a puncture in my
head
And if I let fire drive me
I would burn out the light inside me
Save me
Vision snow it clouds my view
The room re-orientates round you
You lift me to the ceiling
You leave my head hits the floor
And I don’t think I can do this anymore

My apologies for my
Far away demeanor I
Was somewhere else another time
I cannot explain the kraft works of my
mind
No its nothing
I can cope
Washout my nero-pathways with soap
