Lyrics:

I’ll wait on the guard that placed the burden 
Are we lamb lighting up the lawn? 
Hold me up; hold me up long 
Believe under reason 
Aren’t we lovin’? A long since past 
Aren’t we lookin’? That mind can’t cap a reason
Eden left us 
Ah, ease up
Up above we all can see
What we are

Blessed heat
In all 

I saw what you did to soften the blow in the act 
But try I again and you’ll know what you’re up against, Jack 
And to see how that tear fall, honey, could it feel like your wish? 
Poison all mystified guise, I’m breakin’ through to you for schnicks !

You can never expect a turn from the wheel on the road 
Why’s everybody always rushin’ home? 
Wouldn’t you find somethin’ better, made of stone? 
Would you come back down to me, darling, on your own? 

No, you never expect the one that you love to turn into stone 
Would you stay away from me, darlin’, on your own? 
On your own 

And would you know a better break; a quake to impart? 
Set through the noise wake all that shows in discrete scenery 

But I’m not one to worry 
Better get out of here, boy, in a hurry 
An end to what you’re doing; been put to rest 
I’ve been to where you’re going; there’s nothing left, love 

But going crazy in the distance howling violently 
Agony of Coyote 

What is is becoming but does not wish to be 
Nor shall I traipse wishingly 

Now your tapestry wraps the apple trees 
In the yard where we’d lark 

I know it grows weary in the darkness wishing viciously
Agony of you only

Turnwheel

Soulful and suggestive :)  A plea to the powers.

Don't

all I know is the grass is green there
and heaven has the best of seasons
cutting my wrist
to get there
quick
cruising my car up and down the strip
100 miles an hour
don't give 2 shits
I'm going there and getting there
quick
I'm chewing my nails
I'm hitting skin
spitting up blood
all kinds of fucked
I think I might have hit the
quick
that little baby vein
left a big boy stain
better call a friend
need to kill the pain
gotta wrap it up
and wrap it up
quick
this death is strong
I might need a fix
baby if it's coming
let it come
quick
I won't run cos I don't run
quick

Minnows - Quick

It's barren in the streets tonight
suffocated Christmas lights 
dangle from the neighbor's roofs
excess enough to strangle you
and hang you like a sacrifice 
carve the pulp out of your eyes
martyrdom could be so nice
if only it didn't hurt so much
Messiah of Missouri died
took the beauty of the night
ravaged on some hidden hillside 
100 pure and virgin brides
all cried out in unity 
poor pool hall folk share memories
through smoking mouths and spark plug teeth
the dart league has a vacancy
Messiah of Missouri died 
a Chevy Nova to the sky
under tire fires and neon signs
we all lament in Central Time.

Messiah Of Missouri

Artifacts of love long passed
souvenirs swing from rearview mirrors
I collapse after 11 beers
That's exact math, here.
Novocaine and a lukewarm bath
I dissolve a bit
'til I know where I'm at
then I splash
to get the feeling back
Stars are born in the headlights of cars
I lost count as a kid
I swear I was warned I would 
I had clock and I swear I saw it move
Let's pack it up and call it good
the years passed 
and the ones still attached
Wishes wan in the dark of the woods
youth is lost on the ones that wish they could catch
a sneaking glimpse as it passed
from a child's wish into ash

Don't
