pull out of bed
to excessively butter bread
we will never be dead

you’re meticulous
far and near focused
so ridiculous

you press go and lean back
your chuckle makes my frown crack
i laugh at the name spumwack

is it alright that 
you’re all that’s ever made it better

admittedly creepy whispering

Out from my window across from the city
I have what's considered a good view
Two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain
Where I walk to break in new shoes

She stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis
Like horses in parades in fancies
I ask where she's headed she tells me,
Ohio, I've not seen my mother in ages
F                 C  G             Am
It's been a long time, a real long time
It's been a long time, a real long time

Out from my window How far is Ohio?
She laughed and pointed out east
She said I grew up there with my dear mother
And I haven't seen her since thirteen

You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
By my father's hired men
We moved to city so far from my family
It's been a long time, a real long time
It's been a long time, a real long time

Out from my window please hear me Ohio
Your daughter wants to come home
She longs to be with you to hug you to kiss you
To never leave her alone
     
And I've gotten know her to live with to love her
It's hard to see her leave
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
I wish she belonged to me
It's been a long time, a real long time
See you sometime, see you sometime

ohio (cocorosie cover)

red water and all
the beetlies in the world snuggle 
our swallowed goodbyes
you fill the blue skies
the grey ones too billow you away
baby, do you even know anything about nothing at all
baby, mark your height in chalk on the wall
you’re just a few minutes tall


i want to overdo us
like people do with easy cheese
blow out their knees on gardening
why you holding me at arms length
where my bitchin lips can’t reach your fucking face

you know when people notice the breezelessness
succumb to the listless begging of the sun
embrace preventable illnesses
for the blissful warming of their buns
just one more minute
it’s none of your business
what i do with my one run
what i name my one gun
just one more minute

you’re a blistered mister you may as well have kissed her
red robin swollen mouth on mouth with that fat old sun
can’t help but tell everyone, red man red man peel away you miss her
you’re a blistered mister you may as well have kissed her

i want to overdo us
a snagless splooshing of what i please
drunk gluttony sans apology
i want to overdo you
want to be overdone 
want to never be done with this
i miss this in the breaths and the blinks in the seconds in-between

Mr. Morton

stab and stick me
take out the bits and we’ll split it
do me a solid in liquids
 and spongey intermediates
did ever another offer their bodily tassels and baubles 
to store away or display in dimly lit mason jars
i’ll dish out my navel, the biblically fabled, thrust skyward like
it’s gonna project the mother-mcfucking bat-sign
say, “here
this is where the shovels go
else peel it like an orange,
told you already it’s your job to steer
m’dear"

humble request for a good gutting

gosling

self: uhm.. what's something really important that you've learned from mom?
gav: that bugs are bad?
self: bugs are not bad
gav: bugs?
self: bugs are great.
gav: is this being like, filmed or something?
self: dude try again
gav: okay

promised that i’d never get beat
but messed that up when i was seventeen
only said it to myself but still 
wanna tell my mom that i’m sorry

gaige: she told me that -- not to aim a gun at someone when its loaded... and it doesn't matter -- doesn't matter if it's loaded or if it's on safety you never point a gun at someone.

then saw the way my brother’s dad cheats
and said, that’ll never happen to me
well i lunge better than i think or learn probably

self: don't get nervous!
jayden: i am nervous!  i don't know what to say
self: no!  it's okay

jayden: she's nice, she's caring, she loves us, she loves you, she loves everyone around us even though she's not related to most of the people

always thought i’d do better than this
so i’m sorry mom

just know that my brothers will be better this
don’t worry mom, my brothers will be better

self: what kind of person does she make you want to be when you grow up?
gaige: a good one

mom (ft. jayden, gaige, and gavin)

galaxies of elderberry trees
soil we inhale without taking away anything at all

honey bees are all you ever need
to eat

chew on your thoughts till the taste in your mouth gets sweet
then sleep

baby, the celery spots on your mind make you cross i think
baby, the lights that i saw said there’s more than you see, don’t blink


december thirtyfarts

i'm undone wanna straddle your thumb between the two fingers i picked to pluck like this
speak easy to me
be as you please, please
let us be like children on our knees, bumbling and curious like floppy stupid puppies with rugburns by the end of the day
let's leave our minds in a jar to play

blue like water
blue like heaven is all of the time
i'm alright
i'm just gagging on all the alright
i'm so happy
so happy
i'm in heaven
yeah heaven
and oh, the season's come for opium

mom

i'm so happy
so happy
i'm in heaven
yeah heaven
and oh, the seizures come from opium

opium (marcy playground cover)

whoop whoop, this one's always fun because my personality is contrary to its lyrics.  but i have to swap the word 'sane' for 'young' at one point because i can't seem to stomach saying "i'm too young to be unhappy" at my ripe ol' age of  23, despite this being far from the only lie in the song when said by me in the first person.  anywho. effectively lies, and a blip of grafitti:

i don't care
i'll embrace all of my vices
and we'll black it out
or at least slow everything down
and i'll fish for compliments
and i'll drink until i'm happy
and i'll wonder what you're doin but i won't call

our paths split
it's morning but i still feel it and
we skate around why our intemperance feels so profound
and i'll let you in real slow
and i'll regret it immediately
and i'll run away so fast you fall too deep too easily

i don't care if i'm too *sane* to be unhappy
or i recklessly impair this newfangled proclivity
and i won't answer my phone
and i'll never leave my bedroom
and i'll avoid you like the plague cause i can't give you want you want
