Nothing is Painless

when you work
to heal
remember
nothing is painless
after death
when you return
remember
nothing is painless
and even i
audit stars
for fun
cause nothing is painless
i drag
sharp blood
earn the struggle
nothing is painless
and i’m sorry you tried to explain it
but at least you didn’t succeed
and i’m sorry you looked for an explanation
but at least it wasn’t found

have something with me
maybe it's a bet, maybe it's a space within which we'll one day fall together
and end up crushed, like shells from the beach
that were never meant to be together put in such a way that
clean me out
like the gutters
resemble one another
that's the way we'll spiral down that's the way you'll stick around
clean me out
like the gutters
resemble one another
that's the way we'll spiral down
that's the way you'll stick around
like glue i cannot touch you but i know you're there
it's easier when you're in the air
you covered in dust
needing some repair, being neglected instead
i'm doing just fine
cause when they never see you, even in the blackest of clouds
i'll always see you
clean me out
like the gutters
resemble one another
that's the way we'll spiral down
that's the way you'll stick around
step slowly and sure
getting from the closet to the toilet where you can fall headfirst
we all know what we we've done
and your ghastly image is the final gun

we don’t have any more directions to follow
we made all the mistakes we could
we let it sit in the sun for too long
we couldn’t touch it but we know we should’ve
you might have seen us on TV
we’re the ones that’ll eat you up
we like to swallow whole
it’s time to go
it won’t seem bad to take it slow
but please don’t say good bye
but please don’t say good bye

Dear Sally
don't miss me
i never loved you anyway
i'm busy
don't call me
but try to find me astray
Dear Billy
why would we
concern ourselves with the fate
of something
so pretty
yet we feel nothing but shame
Dear Sally
i have these
loud, angry thorns in my ears
they like to
talk to me
and i can't say i hate em
Dear Billy
im lost now
because i never learned
and you were right
all along
too bad you'll never be heard

bring it
im ready to bear
witness to the tear
of the century
with light opening up
these eyes aint enough
the dogs
are not in this fight
it aint for the might
i'm staring
in a crystal ball
i'm hoping i'm called
embalmed
needing justice in the core x2
maybe just a little more
i'm not backing off
i'm not here to stop
i just want to watch you fight
embalmed
needing justice in the core x2
maybe just a little more
thank you
these goals you have left
the art of regret
and i meant for you
to play us like a ball x2
i still see you
deep in my dreams
these holes in the seams
i met you
my drowning in bliss
pray god we don't miss
embalmed
needing justice in the core x2
maybe just a little more
i'm not backing off
i'm not here to stop
i just want to watch you fight
ready
return to the moon
watch you all crumble to dust

imm going to tell you imm going to tell you about an organ now
a organ stacked full of blue, with seas of gray and branches and vines that cut through its nearest enemies
i don't remember the last time i won a battle with my medals
i didn't dig into the ground with a force you would remember
but still i fought back, and the organ hurt some of us
and without question, i was among them
whooa the seeds are missing
left atop the west jonesboro bridge
whereupon the roosters crowed loudly
and engulfed their stomachs like a twist
oh i have no doubt she says
that this mission will be successful
i take it upon the youth to lead us there
my shoes are old the soles have melted away
this hot alabama sun
if my feet can't walk
how can my mouth make song?
at this point in time
i'd trade a bible for an anvil but
no shame is coming, no rain is coming
no fame is coming not that either
i said pray,
just try your hardest to stay on earth with us here
Oooooooh do you hear that
it's nothing to fear
as a matter of fact it's nothing at all
nothing at all
i will still
name you
and that you can't
avoid
so try
try not to run
try not to run
run and hide
you know i'll miss you so
Please don't go

Happy Valentine's Day

so im here
all or nothing
i haven't done anything wrong
but the keys that i hold have unlocked the doors for so long
is it all my fault
did i wait too long
and my past is a freight train
headed straight for the atlantic sea
all my memories left me and time has dissolved
into my fists
will it be missed
can i take the risk
if you could split me in half
would you?
would you find my insides truly better than the man i should
be
i'm so scared that my hands will cling tight like the roots of a tree
i've never written a book
not a single one
but i've taken my notes down slowly and long
dragged my pen through the ink the till the letters all bleed and go through to the next page
rosemary hates the sage
but you loved to read and the words were your lips
you hated some and you loved some but the meaning still stuck
and came out the other side
whether or not you could hide it
if you could split me in half
would you?
would you find my insides truly better than the man i should
be
i'm so scared that my hands will cling tight like the roots of a tree

i once read somewhere that
small is beautiful
everything is put together
everything is put together
i read it on the side of a temple
i found you could crack it open
i wanted to get inside
i wanted to get inside
so i remained persistent
held my clippings tight in my grasp
i knocked until my head hurt
i knocked until my hands bled
it oozed everywhere
i tried to contain it
but a part of me didn’t want to
but a part of me didn’t want to
i evened out the spaces
i prepared so well
nothing would stop me
nothing would stop me
so i walked
i walked for a really long time, it felt like forever
but i kept on walking
i kept on walking
but i kept on walking
i kept on walking

you were born
full and alive
and when you learned to walk
you knew you would find
all the glow and glitter proper
in the world we know today
so you found yourself just tinkering
with the words you wanted to say
until a flash
directed you
and we then crossed paths
by the crooked corner
where the fawn will take a bath
and every once in a while
i would see you smile
you’re old
and reckless
and you never knew your name
but the crickets
would repeat it for you
until you went insane
you’ll find yourself inside a cellar
and the only one who waits
is your valiant old father
who’s never one complained
but you live alone
and i see you
on tuesdays in the rain
that is the only day
that the weather lives in vain
but still sometimes, beguiled
oh i would see you smile
oh i would see you smile
oh i would see you smile
oh i would see you smile
and i’d hate myself
oh i would see you smile
oh i would see you smile
oh i would see you smile
and i’d hate myself
