Creatures Of Habit

[from split with Ezra Joyce]

It's always that one time, the worse was so much bigger than the better
Idle minds wasted on running water that won't flow, just fall.
A peace of mind removed, we accept only the things we think we deserve
The two headed fighting ourselves for food
In the back of the minnows throats, searching for length
Chiggers, wretched things, phones that work one way,
Chiggers, wretched things, all front, no back,
Stay burning, stay crossed, stay straight, fight harder
I'm no saint, but please, if you know speak
Cant get out, only in
How can I teach?
I see his eyes afraid, keeping everything blind and dark
But somehow he can still watch me read
Forget the hits, remember the misses
Tongues held, time passing, keeping ears for the negative
I fell in love with a dimple but not the whole face
If we get better with age, why live now?
What if we could only think out loud

Hiding

There’s no good in your eyes anymore
And it makes you want to drive home, drunk and alone
Curse the faces in the wheat
Drown yourself in the gold because you can’t let it go
Makes you almost miss the smell of smoke in your clothes
And it makes you want to wear the wool
It’s that need like nothing else
You bullshit with the best and wait for what’s perfect
You bitch and moan more than most about
Where you think your life will take you
But you know that’s no sort of pretending
I guess it’s the things that I don’t say,
We’re just pretending
There’s no good in your eyes anymore
Nothing is worse than doing nothing,
And I know, well, who’s hiding it?
Who the hell is hiding it?
But you can’t stay angry forever,
And I know, but you can’t stay angry forever, or so I’m told.
But the house gets so quiet
Sitting here wishing for just an hour or two, alone with you
Well, it’s always too personal,
Always too close to comment
They all mention how tired you look
And you realize you haven’t said a word in hours
Well, who’s hiding it?
Who the hell is hiding it?
I guess it’s the things that I don’t say.

New Normal

[from split with The Saddest Landscape]

I woke up not enough awake today, just to take in the smell of the fake red poinsettias,
Well, I'm well aware I'm treating life as a way to pass the time
It is never an effort to grin, to laugh, but it is laborious to live it like my last
See through me, see through me so see through, see me through
It's not the grave dates on the tomb, it's the short and sweet dash between the two,
But I swear sometimes, it's like I'm running on stumps
and I am still nowhere, so out of sorts. Always so short and sweet
I've swallowed too much concrete, my worst intentions got the best of me
I've been so hate savvy and I've lost my tongue to the biting
I shake from the rain in my knees, It never has the nerve not to pour.
Indian summer sunburns leave me lacking what I've learned, but I never forgot myself.
We've lost the brass that we were born with, we were bent to fit,
Bent to wear these wooden baskets. More to a whisper than a yell,
But we scream just to get the chills,
Just to hear the timber echo back in the boxes we've been planted in.
