Downhill Racers

Hold your breath, dear. This ship is going down. We're all downhill. Running with our timebombs. These shins are cracked and splintered. These lips are crusted shut.

Dorothy At Forty

Dorothy, I know you've had amazing dreams. We can't go chasing down each golden street. Each and every rainbow, each passion, each unattainable goal. We're not in dreamland anymore.

Donkeys

Don't lie, where have you been?. Your teeth are red, your eyes are peppermints. Sailing out to sea with your new best friend. You don't like the way you live so you play pretend.

Dispenser

That's cool.. I guess you're fitted for solitude. This suit doesn't fit you. Lonely fish - cry in this cage. Does your owner ignore you?. . Well, now I'm thinking that I.

Dedication To Desertion

Sweating with confidence. They're soiling our egos. And we're locked at the hip. Don't cut the cord too short. . You've cut yourself off. I thought we agreed.

Ceilings Crack

Passed out in your yard. My clothes were soaking in the morning rain. My head's just a bruise, like walking in a coma. Like a battered drone. All my limbs are numb.

Caveman

I wanna live life duty free. Let my instincts take the lead. I wanna take what I can get. Don't wanna choose, don't wanna beg. I want down from this family tree.

Butcher The Song

There's a time and a place, this is neither the time nor the place.. "where do I fit in, in this jigsaw of a relationship? !?. Why should I play the fall guy to your love?.

Break In The New Year

New years ago. We drank and danced and left our sour hearts behind. We sweetened for a kiss --. The kiss of a new year to come. But those days are gone.

Bloody Murderer

There's a ghost in my bed. She cries in her sleep. She says I won't let her leave. I lie perfectly still. As she stifles her tears. I don't want to disturb her.

Big Bang

Before we ever saw straight. We were graspin' at straws. A debate was born. Picket lines were drawn. . There was this big bang once. Now we're learnin' to use our thumbs.

Bad Sects

For twenty years I've held this pulpit. Preached the word, served the Eucharist. Gained the trust of the townsfolk. Made every football game, never missed a social.

At Conception

Jeannie's. Been throwing up all morning. Poor girl's been so heartsick. Ever since her boyfriend went to war. . Father Cole's. Done his best to console the girl.

Art Is Hard

Cut it out. Your self-inflicted pain. It's getting too routine. The crowds are catching on. To the self-inflicted song. Well, here we go again. The art of acting weak.

And The Bit Just Chokes Them

Here's a new recruit. With new confusion. His racing thoughts should be (unmade). If he needs more time, give him more time. We are (not in a prison).

After The Movies

After the movies. In the parking lot. We stared so long. And you kissed me. With ripe young breath. So I kissed you. One night as forever. . In the movies.
