Kids bleeding lips for fun
I wish you were a spright
be gentle with the glass and you can have it back
won't you come down?
its not worth living for if you're not in
you can sew your fingers shut and everything comes back
won't you come down?

How intimate
Ive seen to have lost it
yet it is with you when I am not
well you flick your wrists with right and with writ
and you are there for it every time it lands
Ive missed again and how low its become
yet we are still but underneath
do you love the sun?
do you notice when its gone?
does it comfort you?
when you're renewed?
in your mass of skin and teeth?
so dont exist and dont throw stones
we will miss you for however long
Ive bled it out and here it comes
you are a mentor to yourself
I will fish you out when you are gone
and you'll live with us forever.

Well I can see it, everything's still here somehow
forcing our hands and making all our words come out
like daisies in possum hands all our words come out so afraid
but I won't let it get to you if you ever come to me
I will cradle you with everything I know I can't provide
and we will be here when the light returns and then decides to shine
Well there's some moth light that keeps hanging over ten dead weeds
got our hopes up looking out to be looking in
and we got honest
and all our words came out
and
in auterine to be I left you there to see how stupid you were
you can be someone so I can have a reason not to be here
and when you come around to tell you what it means to me
then we can be together the one and only
we will be how we see.

Home to where you've punished it
there is no return to feel
you will burn all of the management
before someone keen is near
there is no more embarassment
you are swallowed in its grip
you can divy out what belongs to them
or you can cross it off to keep
and you will feel new
how's he doing
are things moving
bones still working
mouth still chirping

We Left You for Honey
02:55

Crashing into an open door
you left to be someone else's for a change
I rush into you like you wanted me to be
someone for the trees
I am for the trees
I would die for the trees
won't get ordered around if you stay close to dead rivers
won't get mixed up and bagged if you live with ten lives
I will save the mince for you
and you can eat it with your razor mouths
well isn't it grand
we left you for the honey
and everybody's got benefits
all things insured
why dont you fit me in with your rotting mouth or does it really cut that deep
or is it the bet you've set for me ?
like ginger on scratch
do you really talk this loud on your own time?
looking in for ten leaps of faith
insatiably under utilized
we will leave you all to be in interesting peoples lives
I will save the mince for you
and you can eat it with your razor mouths
Well there's some people here for you
and we've got money and things to do
and we won't ever leave with you
unless you give us honey

Get outta there
with your veiny grip
do your teeth cut you
when you close your lips
on a big jet plane all by yourself
tell me how you sleep at night
up in the clouds like that looking in
upstairs in the darkest hour who will be your light?
when you finally go
does it hurt your body will you feel it slip
will you hear that bag as it drops and zips
are you by yourself or is there something else
and where can I see you again?
outside where the wild things are who will be your guide?
dont act like you know
just close your eyes and let it slide
you can hold my hand
and you can make a mess
and we'll clean it up
and it'll all be alright
I hear its beautiful there
and one day I hope and pray, Ill see you when Im there.

Well there's something beautiful here
so what you leaning on that which brings us filth and warmth
well there's someone listening to you
out there with the crumbs of somebodies bloodied kids
sometimes mitts are ripped
huddled with the fits
I guess it all depends
sometimes you let up
from messengers of moths
that which saturates
enough for bloodied hands
we'll walk along with stubs
and cover all we can
well I felt it all at once
and in some insatiable luck and lost it and there it was
well you blink with dampened eyes
and with beauty its too late to do a damn thing
sometimes listen in
eating teeth of man
you do it and then yer in
too late to count the words
from bird to ant to fern.

Uh oh
where'd your head go
planted it in with the tomatoes
its in the ground with the rocks and bones
and the ants and the toads
in a box in a bag
for the rest of my kin show em sin
with the lord all cursing and yelling too loud
you forced me in would you let me out?
My garden please
please please me
would you sprout us a friend for the centipedes?
My garden please
leave me be
roots round my toes and dirt up to my knees
A blood sacrifice party, for everyone to see.

This here'll put your body in a bag
but you gotta feed those kids so dont do that
but this lamb will be grown before the year ends
so you can take his hooves and make them something else
but does it bleed?
out its mouth?
and is it the same thing?
as my wallet and coat
so slice him up and sell his meat or trade him in for a fatter sheep
this one here's the dean to MIT
he'll let you keep your kids for the right degree
and you can sell them to a shelter or a library
Or you can keep them with you and absorb all their benefits
but are you ready to bleed?
like a dying animal?
and will you get angry?
that you're not enough to grow old.
