[Recorded Summer 2013]

lyrics

breathing smoke through teeth like coals
i tie your wire veins to my knuckles
and pray with callouses to weak eyes
i break my fractured ribs that you tore inside
i taste the carpet like coffee
i know that it was something
but it felt like nothing

it’s the fools i call my friends
for the nights we sink morning
we speak spirituals at door frames
are you listening, yeah i’m alright
i think i’ll walk to work
i’ll pass by your house and act like it was nothing

selfish child,
you’ve reached the end of the world
foolish boy,
keep walking

i see her laugh and cut her hair
i breathe the spinal cord perception
and sleep through reconsiderations
i crack my teeth, try not to think
i taste the carpet like coffee
i know that it was something
but i pretended it was nothing

i’m pushing up daisies
my friends are cracking up, maybe
tripping the light fantastically,
they see nothing.

hallelujah
