Dead End

I met you in the dead end
Of Indigo, Illinois
Two souls lost and annoyed
Your father had just died
Years before his time
My ex had just hung me out to dry
And the same eyes
Looking down upon us
Aren’t invited to the 4am
When you looked my way
I kissed the cosmos
Walked right to you to find out who I am
You left me in the morning
On a national holiday
Two souls unslept and full of thanks
If the stars align
We’ll trace them in the sky
Maybe spelling new names from that night
I met you in a dead end
And I’m with you all the way there

Hound

You leave love out
Like some sort of hound
At the backdoor
silent in the storm
An obedient life
Dull side of the knife
When it cuts it cuts
deep and worn
Empath flaring dramatic
Reach for the hands of the tragic
Onboarding, unloading
More learning, less knowing
An expedient life
All hands on the knife
When it ends, it ends
Fast and warm

What's Killing You
03:55
|

|
What’s the last thing you memorized
Will it be shared back in fragmented parts
Your every whim now digitized
A body a story with sheer lack of heart
You say you’re dying, you’re getting old
What’s killing you? Your story won’t be told.
Where’s the last place you ran to hide?
Can you even remember their name?
Screens staring back like a pair of eyes
A body a story in paralyzed frames.
You say you’re dying, you’re getting old
What’s killing you? Your story won’t be told.

Ego
Are you really there?
Rerun
Melting through the air
It’s all right
this fright night
The same plight
No one’s on your side
Ego
Did you ever care?
If they run
Were you ever really there?
It’s all right it’s all right
It won’t last, this fright night
The same past the same plight
This time no one’s on your side

Mistress of Mercy
04:33
|

|
I was asleep at home, quietly comfortable
Just four blocks away
as you stumbled
The urban rot along the empty lot
I know you never meant to get
What you got
Chaos
Is no
Mistress
of Mercy
Did bartenders look away, pass your favorite drink
Did they look away
Like we all did
Written off by those you love
A liability, a push to shove
The sidewalk never felt as rough
As you wandered
to the fountain
Chaos
Is no
Mistress of mercy
X2
Chaos, distress
Regret
and mercy
Chaos is no mistress
Of mercy
The wild ideas, the raw jokes and the risks
That’s what I miss, that’s what we all missed
On your final morning, did you see the sun?
Chaos
Is no
Mistress of mercy
Chaos, distress
Lie within
Orien
Chaos, distress
Regret
and mercy
Chaos
Is no
Mistress of mercy

Gangway To Heaven

Put the riot
Gear on the pilot
Spinning down
Into the ground tonight
Streets in embers
Anarchist members
A thousand shades
Of these pain drunk nights
Grinding teeth under pale blue light
So you’re dying to stay
Who did you mean to save
Clicking the trigger
I’m now disfigured
Gimme something bitter
To pour on the bite
When you betray us
I’ll name the chaos
A thousand shades
In these blades of light
Finding peace on a pale blue knife
So you’re dying to stay
Who did you mean to save
