Missing the future again
I’m showing the years and don’t know where to begin
Feeling like a living memento
With a love like ours it’s so hard not to think so
I’ve traveled ages deep
I’ve borrowed hearts when my own begged for sleep
I’ve counted blessings and counted them fast
I wish I could promise this moment would last

Riding with me and clarifying the highway
My kindred spirit from time immemorial
Disappearing from the rearview mirror
The few that still remember and the rest that don’t say so
Taken on a detour beyond what used to matter
We’re remnants brought together
Where the undiscovered country is home

Gambling on tomorrow
In a time capsule we made
Never mind what used to matter
We have only ourselves to escape

Home, a lifetime away
Complicating everything
It’s impossible to explain
How I have travelled ages deep
Hidden away in a sealed time capsule
Just like the few that still remember
And all the rest that will never say so

I’m riveted by your relentless drive
The unmistakable markings of the roads we’ve traveled
So take my life to make it happen
Just keep me unaware of it if you can

In the grip of spin control each revolution
Is here to make us wander home in this condition
Only caring for what could have been
We’ve littered the future with a time capsule we left open

Offering you hope I died but when I had no eye for
Otherworldly designs I gave you
The hunger that made me work to believe
That we could still have memories that would justify the meantime

We went away
There were no voice messages
There was no trail
Only a pile of ashes
Don't go consume
The stain of lashes on a stump
He retried it
It only squeaked a reply
Indigenous fruit
Blackened in the sun
I traded selfies for a face
It acted like you
What will I wear
When tender cronies break the door down
They shared a knife
They pushed the hand back in the pot
You tender leaflet
The bowl tells for you
A sycophant
A treasure chest of dirt
Tear apart the house
And separate the silverware
You said I'll take the heart attack

Stoned on doubloon tristesse among accountants
Erasing
Lance the money clip
Drain it till it's dry
Call the cops
Tender your resignation
Take off your tie
And set it on fire
We will never die
The hand of the sick
We will never die
The hand of the sick

first prize to
the genius
who wants to stay away from me
encourage
your friends to
share in your corporate evil mind

every day
is monday
except for friday afternoon
my digits
drag the ground
my eyes avoid your evil gaze

so much for
composure
i slam my head against the wall
your mouth hangs
wide open
shut it before your tongue falls out

this is the
last time you'll
see me in full-blown office drag
i've got two
tickets to
witness the story of my life

look at the water
in the woodprint above the desk
i could be there right now
could be with you right now

I WANT TO BE CORPORATE CASUALTY #1!!

take the knife
from my back
use it on someone innocent
i've dreamed of
dramatic revenge for years and years and years and years and years

5, 4, 3, 2, 1
i explode
but simply wind up walking out
it's tragic
unnoticed
exactly what you want from me

and now i'm
stuck starving
i've got your photo on the wall
a dartboard
a target
all is going according to plan

wining dining climbing fighting
rising tying biting trying
sliding striking whining sighing
crying dying by the hour

you are living in america
you are dealing with hysteria
you are an example of a victim
yearning for a new life

i want to be corporate casualty #1
