KISSING THE MOSS I’ve got a game I made I play it with my friends Nobody ever wins Three years and I’m gone Sink back into my swamp Nobody’s ever cared Kissing the moss Hiding my scars Breathing in and breathing out Pretend I know what life’s about
2.
EATING THE ROTTEN FRUIT I’m thinking I’m gold if she’s on my side I’m thinking it’s wrong, they hate that I’m wright If all my blood it froze then I died Who would ask if I’m alive? They’re hittin' the beach I’m wondering why Nobody asked me Even thou I’m Not a fan of the sand or even the heat Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t try It’s ripping me open like a cannonball They’re praising the snake til it’s out of the jaw Rambling on Eating the rotten fruit Is there sin in escape If every path lead away from fait and into the past Biting down on my hand Just to bleed anywhere Doesn’t mean I didn’t try

Speed Trap 02:24
told myself I’ve caught the prettiest one on the beach the rocks were shaped like a crow dug a hole and watched water creep through on the bike home the water covered you in the dark the suns still doing its job on the blue fuji that your grandfather bought I felt younger I felt great I felt no evil swept the driveway twice grandaddy came home drove the volvo thru miss new jersey lane a foreclosure on a dead red mansion on the drive back home your mother sped into brother from another planets still on in the living room of the jersey beach home in the breezeway in your this arm I felt no evil I am lonely I am angry I am all evil

Speak up 03:48
navy blue and drunk full of hippies blood a spinning noise, a blurry word I have listened, have you heard? I wont get my blood on anyone elses pants I wont let the truth sleep inside a body bag kill the cat free your tongue then you can put me down when I speak up let em wither let em rot quiet kills your words will not

Good Son 03:18
I am a razorback I am an angry dad I am an evil twin I am Macaulay Culkin I am The Good Son I am a drunken cop I am a shark in red water The biggest asshole you know I am a charging Cujo I am the good dog I am Tim Curry from "It" My heart is made out of shit I am a bad homo sapien Meaner than Vigo Carpathian I am the good ghost
10.
Stargown 01:35
you wear it like a rosary I know just what you’re made of I’m up at night wrapped in magic big dipper sleeping sun
11.
I found the pills in your room and I took some of them Now I cant speak Please don’t kiss me when you get home late from work What do you want? I’m never enough I guess I’m boring Please play rough? I saw the cuts on your arm. Did I make some of them? Now your bleeding Never eating, even when you’re off to work. What do you want? I’m never enough I guess I’m boring Please play rough?
12.
I can tell you’re in for a treat Goodbye to the orchestra You honestly mean more than that And as the cars park down the street It gets easier done than said A Susquehanna death Heaven is North of Hell Evil’s alive and well I am alive and well too In the corner of your room Licking my wounds
