and on your headstone, I carve these words
kindness is not a form of weakness my dear

play nice with other children, they've killed two birds
it's always easy to be the victim if your spine is weak

numbness is an acquired tase that's what my grandma said
I enjoy my quiet space where I can fade away

feelings are wasted on those that cannot love
as a footnote all things are made up of the same dust

your eyes betray you with the things that you find useless

{ I can taste your blood-- why are you so dumb}

August Birds

just go ahead and hold your applause until I am finished
I've been working every day since I was nine years old
I've got a time-bomb in my jacket I hope that you are grinning
nothing says I love you like shutting up your holes
it's fine if everything should come apart
if my spine should suddenly shift to one side

I've been making blanket statements to cover all the bases 
social media is a cancer eating at your faces
the ghost is clear like the gelatin inside of the mold
god, I hope you're eating all your vegetables

it's time-- to check your breathing
it's time-- to check the mirror
it's time-- to look behind you
it's already raining on your parade

I've seen you stick your feelers out
I've seen you stick your feelers out
I've seen you stick your feelers out

but it's not going to work this time
I'm going out of my mind
but it's not going to work this time

simple Simon says to the pieman let me taste your wares
I'd gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today
simple Simon says to the pieman let me taste your wares
I'd gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today

but it's not going to work this time
but it's not going to work this time
but it's not going to work this time
but it's not going to work this time

and it's the worst
it's the worst part of the story
I wrote a book 
so you can read it

here is my name above my grave
below my corpse is rotting

it doesn't have to be that way

combing my thoughts 
lying in bed
I don't know where
and I don't know when
your beautiful eyes
your just the girl of my dreams

Patchouli In The Morning

I only want to capture you

just set it
forget it
and turn the knob
to ten

the cat calls

when it's golden time
never sure if the sun will shine
or if it's lights out
cut to the chase, my dear
grease all the squeaky wheels 
it's now or never
and you pray
it's all you've ever known
taking the edge off
the knife is dull
pour me a stiff drink
one way or another
flip the switch 
up or down
when it's golden time
never sure if the sun will shine
or if it's lights out
cut to the chase, my dear
grease all the squeaky wheels 
it's now or never

Stiff Drinks (Golden Time)

we worked it out
and now it all comes around

now you're talking numbers
there's nothing to fear
how many fingers
am I holding up dear?

and if you made a case 
the combination would stay the same
and if you made a face
it would probably always be the same

now we're talking numbers
there's nothing to fear
how many fingers
 am I holding up dear?

Talking Numbers

Night Is Aware Of You

Sort Of Like Crying

Omg, (why can't I text heaven)

if you don't mind
I'll try to find
the secret to my tiny heart
the pain is locked away
in storage until I die
I promise it has nothing to do with you

This Tiny Heart

W/ Dylan Parry vocals and lyrics guitar keys insanity

Put It Back Together w/ Dylan Parry

I'm not sure I know what you meant
when you claimed irrelevance
insulted my intelligence
and wrote it on the wall

twist the parts of consciousness
add two parts of ambivalence 
soak in acid, then you rinse
and dry it on the run

can you explain just what you meant?
saying everything's irrelevant 
I can't put my finger on
the status light is always red

I'm not getting any better
I'm not getting anywhere

push reset and kill again
I'm not going to run away
cut me out or cut me in
I'm tired of it all

please don't lay it on me now
I'm not ready-- not at all
you're in a better place than me
I can't even see the fog

I've been trying to let go
I've been trying to be sane
letting the sediment lay
and celebrating Spring

Irrelevant

Awake Times Two

And When we walk around the graveyard in the dark

I hope you hold my hand in case I get scared

We're all made of dust; kinetic resolve

It's only energy
Am I interesting
I'm running out of things to say when you are listening

The dark covers up the day and
Eats the light
I hide my hand inside my heart for the night
The sun could never break the casket you wear

It's only energy
Am I interesting
I'm running out of things to say when you are listening

dust

Dropped
Dropped
Dropped a cigarette
Into the wilderness
Locked down the prices
Scratching tenderness

Laid on the line 
Slept on my side
Do whatever it takes 
To burn it all down
To burn it all down
To burn it all down
To burn it all down

Don't stop now
Reanimate the corpses
Stop scratching the blood 
From all the pretty horses 

It's self evident 
Self educated
We're Post Decadent 
Virtual pets in cages

Scratch the scratch offs
Sniff the sniff offs
False start and
A Rubber stamp
We're having a good time
Let's start having a good time

Bah bah de dah
Bah bah de dah
Bah bah de dah
Bah bah de dah
Let's start having a good time

Dropped a subtle hint
Self medicate
Don't know what the problem is 
Oh what the problem is
Just a neer do well
Inside the time machine
Can you Turn the dial
To another frequency

We're having a good time
We're having a good time
We're having a good time

Bah bah de dah 
Bah bah de dah
Bah bah de dah
Bah bah de dah
Bah bah de dah

Bah bah de dah
Bah bah de dah

Tables turned
Don't flip them over


neer du poor (Restroom Music)

Please don't repeat this
It seems it's out of focus
It's a circus inside my head

Practice makes perfect
you're running in circles
Using up all your breath

And on the cutting floor
I've been drawing all the plans
To chew off my own arm

Nothing seems to matter
When nothings getting better
I'll just keep on trying I guess


Please don't repeat this
It seems it's out of focus
It's a circus inside my head

Practice makes perfect
But every line is a circle
I've been talking out loud with the dead 

And on the cutting floor
I've been drawing all the plans
To chew off my own arm

Nothing seems to matter
When nothings getting better
I'll just keep on trying I guess

Memorized the parts that I cannot remember
Like a dream in deep December
Fashioned from the darkness


And if it doesn't matter
Then why does it matter to you

If it doesn't matter
Then why does it matter to you

day after yesterday (restroom music)

maybe I don't want to be the last ghost in this house
maybe I don't want to be the rabbits foot you threw away
maybe I don't want to be the albatross around your neck

ooh-oooh

maybe I don't want to be the last one out the door
maybe I don't want to be the dashboard in the dark
maybe I don't  want to be the light on in the room

ooh-oooh

what is a secret but a group of words you don't repeat
if I was your neighbor I'd be your friend
I'd bring you sugar-- I'd bring you sweets and love

ooh-oooh

maybe I don't want to be the last ghost in this house
maybe I don't want to be the rabbits foot you threw away
maybe I don't want to be the albatross around your neck

ooh-oooh

if I was your neighbor I'd be your friend
I'd bring you sugar-- I'd bring you sweets and love

this tiny heart

leatherette portmanteau

Into the Well of Loneliness
Well, I confess, I'm over my head
And everyone should love the one they love
Well, that's what I said


*'Though SAPPHO burned with a peculiar flame
God understands her, we must do the same,
And of such eccentricities we say
"'Tis true, 'tis pity: she was made that way.'

*(The Sink of Solitude)


The Well Of Loneliness (1928)

I cross my heart and dot my i's
I cross my t's

you know I need you around
since you've been out of town
I've been nothing but down

I cross my heart
I dot my I's
I cross my T's

it's taking everything I have
just to know your around
just the new dog in town

you know I'm falling in love with you

Restroom Music "Dot My Eyes"

Tea For Mittens (demo) incomplete

how've you been my lovely neighbor
I see the wolves are at you door
they only want to eat your children
and then they'll let your crops grow

late at night I pray for your demise
and everything that you surmise, is yours
to be no more

they are only playing games
they are only playing games
they are only playing games with you

on the other side of the fence
is all my heart and it's compartments
little tiny drops I made myself
dripping from my wrist all through the night

do you know what's on the other side of the bed?
my head.and everything I've ever did
is only waiting for your dismissal

comb your hair, set sail for the motherland
I know that my love compares to no one tonight

we're only trying to be
a better part of humanity
but we just can't seem to see
how bad we hurt each other
