The corsair lacks resilience
The tempest holds no beat
Reginald stabbed the pavement
Digging for soil
But he only found meat
Cars don't take you dancing
Traps don't sprain your feet
The alcohol glare commodious stare
The burbage in the buttermilk stank like a modern calf
He passed through the doorway and spat
Like there was nothing else in his mouth
But she knew what she was after
Torches torches torches
Porches and corpses and gum
Porches and corpses and gum
Hugging like the sun
He hiccuped as if he meant to say
There is no other way
Your lips are getting louder
There is no other way

notes:

... And walked. I knew now what I must do. Whatever sacrifice I had to make to rid the world of this dark lord and banish him back to the realm of infinitesimal nothingness, I'd make it. Through the grass ahead, far from the road, I saw an artificial stone wall surrounding a black hole of emptiness leading down into the earth. The ring of clouds rotated far above me. I didn't question. I descended into the tunnel. ...

since the day you walked into my office
i have been obsessed with your muscular body
i have not been able to sleep for days
waiting for the right time to jump your bones
i am still formulating a plan for us
please don't think i'm weird
just because i keep blueprints for the bank
in my ninja suit with gear to pick the lock
and bags to bring the swag home

i'll be long gone
when you wake up
leaving no trace
only a note
giving directions
to the treasure
just don't spend it all
on plastic surgery
i have to find you
in 20 years
keep yourself away
from the IRS
keep an eye out
for the signal
we will have it all
and be invincible

but since you took all my shit and ran
i have no mercy on your thieving neurotic ass
therefore i will have to notify the cops
that you have victimized grandma x
small town folk will come down with a vengeance
when you put it that way
pass the time until i come for you
maybe i will have come to my senses by then
and let you off
come to daddy's arms

i'll be long gone
when you wake up
leaving no trace
only a note
giving directions
to the treasure
just don't spend it all
on plastic surgery
i have to find you
in 20 years
keep yourself away
from the IRS
keep an eye out
for the signal
we will have it all
and be invincible

All I want
is burning down
Sugary
A tinny town
Silverfish
A vacant mouth
Stuttering
A sickly snout
Kill the snake
Surbuban lung
Everyone is everyone

Slim
Hug the self inside
Code the shield around the pebble in your chest
Trim
Keep the fake alive
Laugh like that make you any less a dick

I want nothing more than to simply kick you in yo face
But you're too tall
So I'll have my robot army do the dirty work

Pull the skin over the corners that show the evil
Something got caught at the perforation and ripped apart your carefully constructed forehead
Never mind - they make glue for that
That way the demon can get high while it cocoons itself
Disregard the flashbulbs - we're just making sure we never forget who you really are

A stranger
Free radical
Swarm of bees
In the trees
Photosynthesize

Endangered
Metamorphosis
Carbon lifeform
Evolve and devolve

Don't start that again
You might need that excuse for something else
Slow motion running away won't work because I just caught up with you
And it turns out you're not worth the trouble of writing this song

SHUT UP

as John Lennon as Freddie Mercury as Brad Davis as Jeff Buckley as Mr. Samuel M. Jackson started to say, two lovers will sit on a park bench having broken and look into each others' eyes whispered softly "we are the hollow men and not empty but hollow as in never having been" which means
you have to love in order to long and this is me longing this is me watching a man with a cane watching these ducks skirt the water (the same as yours) and brother birds under the same roof as i this pen and longing
what darkness do you look for? in one place to hide in under the blankets as it's my mother and fatherless
wondering if father will come back the way he came
think of thinking of father - bad words bad children
think of thinking of lover - a martyr like me
back of hand to forehead fan with a feather?
man with a cane?
Use this grace in your divine way Jeff with the ocean washing over what questions i reply to such questions - such as where father is now? and mother as well?
a day like this is deep darkness as if you died in water
would you look back i moved your
grace
found a new father until the old one comes back this way but even he walked away but looked back once or twice as if to ask if you
were singing? which you weren't as you were screaming on grace as if your passion was more than enough which should've been as you deserved the world better than to have people mourn who did not know you and did and me, this water like the same as yours i sleep beside and my pen with the ocean washing over empty as in never having, and losing you too.
