Bog People

Why ask?
s
Why not it goes with this night
s
So, will it ever stop?
s
Will it always be this hard?
s
There will always be a jar of ash
s
There will always be an unfit mind
s
There will always be a lonely son
s
There will always be a humiliated little girl
s

Why ask?
s
Is there any reason?
s
Why ask?
s
If it’ll just let up?
s
Why ask?
s
Is there any reason?
s
Why ask?
s
If it’ll just let up?
s
Up, up, up, up
s

There will always be a headless neck
s
There will always be happiness
s
There will always be a handless wrist to crush
s
There will always be a hopeful heart to disrespect
s

Why ask?
s
Is there any reason?
s
Why ask?
s
If it’ll just let up?
s
Why ask?
s
Is there any reason?
s
Why ask?
s
If it’ll just let up?
s
Up, up, up, up

Ale

Shut up, shut up
s
I wanna hear that pin pricking
s
Shut up, shut up
s
I wanna hear that nail scrape
s
Shut up, shut up
s
Up your insipid voice
s
Shut up, shut up
s
Is that your glass heart clinking?
s

I want to go to bed every second
s
Wrap your arms around your kitty
s
She won’t cuddle up to your disgusting feet
s
She’s not the only one who won’t
s
The GameCube is on
s
Its tender buttons hide
s
Crazy is the place your gigantic fat body fits
s
Crazily it fits into any bed
s

Shut up, shut up
s
I wanna hear that pin pricking
s
Shut up, shut up
s
I wanna hear that nail scrape
s
Shut up, shut up
s
Up your insipid voice
s
Shut up, shut up
s
Is that your glass heart clinking?
s

What’s done is done
s
It cannot be undone
s
What’s done is done
s
It cannot be undone
s
What’s done is done

Rose of Sharon

It’s light outside
s
When you finally see
s
A quiet failure sleeping next to you
s

Don’t think
s
Don’t try
s
Don’t rush away
s
When I say you deserve less
s

You try so hard to be as sweet as you can for me
s
But I don’t see you for who you are
s
Rose of Sharon in my failing light
s

Ringless finger
s
Pretend you don’t know how you stand it
s
Cause you know you are nobody
s

You try so hard to be as sweet as you can for me
s
But I don’t see you for who you are
s
Rose of Sharon in my failing light

Saturn

You are my son and I am Saturn
s
Do you see it?
s
This is you and me
s
I want you to know as you’re being eaten
s
The lights will be on and
s
That this is you and me
s

This match and this sheaf of wheat
s
This twine and your bed
s
This spark will wake up your skin
s
This wine will let you live
s

You are my son and I am Saturn
s
Do you see it?
s
This is you and me
s
I want you to know as you’re being eaten
s
The lights will be on and
s
That this is you and me
s

George, when it comes to bedtime
s
My sweetness will not go to waste
s
I will shoot this arrow right up your anus and
s
You’ll taste what we taste
s
I will stab it right through the bottom of your mouth
s
You’ll taste what we taste
s
What you make them taste
s

Baby Captain

Black phoebe
s
There’s a candle in my window
s
Black phoebe
s
It’s all inside of you
s
Black phoebe
s
There’s a candle in my window
s

Baby captain
s
I hope those teary eyes
s
Are only from X
s
And I hope they
s
Don’t dry
s
When your biking photos
s
Set you free
s
And you see
s
What a stunner you are
s

Cappy captain
s
I hope that white gold girl
s
Forgets about you
s
And your crooked blood
s
Seeps up from hell
s
And you see
s
What a stunner you are
s

Black phoebe
s
There’s a candle in my window
s
Black phoebe
s
It’s all inside of you

Pox

You look so ready to kill me
d
With your bosses saw
d
Mendocino, Siskiyou, Klamath, Shasta
d
A wasp will find its way into your pointless life
d
Its stinger will sting you away
d

This where I live
d
Dripping and marked from your paint
d

Jesus is wondering
d
If even he can love you
d
Oh, this is where I live
d
A pox upon your house
d

Will you turn me to money?
d
Will I shat my poison egg in your mouth?
d
This plastic coffin always in the shade of
d
Your sickening daughters and your idiotic hobbling wife
d

This is where I live
d
Community college is waiting for them
d

Jesus is wondering
d
If even he can love you
d
Oh, this is where I live
d
A pox upon your house
d
Jesus is wondering
d
If even he can love you
d
Oh, this is where I live
d
A pox upon your house
d
You might also like
d

Jesus is wondering
d
If even he can love you
d
Oh, this is where I live
d
A pox upon your house
d
Jesus is wondering
d
If even he can love you
d
A crossbill will never bow
d
A pox upon your house

Mousey Toy

How did I end up here
s
Curled up on this couch?
s
Where did you learn such a bold wink
s
Whisking me off to your bedroom?
s

Mousey toy
s
This continent is lit by the holocaust
s
Beneath my ribs
s
Mousey toy
s
Mousey toy
s
Mousey toy
s

How did two tiny ribbons untie
s
And unfold into a lime tree?
s
Then to darken a room for other men
s
A dove hit mid-flight turns away
s

Mousey toy
s
This continent is lit by the holocaust
s
Between my lips
s
Mousey toy
s
Mousey toy

Muppet Face

Should I treasure the red
s
Or treasure them light?
s
Though bitter juniper is still food
s
Pull down your pants by the she-ass
s
As I run my tongue over your gums
s

Oh, honeybee
s
Buzz upon me
s
Slip me a note
s
“Oh God, what a donkey!”
s
It smells like Fallujah
s
A hammock rod
s
This shirt clings like dander
s
This kiss scrapes like rust
s

Tiny, tiny paws covered in the dirt
s
Tiny purring sounds rising like a pike
s
Stabbing my hands like a sailor
s
This last night of ours, pathetic
s
Tiny, tiny paws turning into dust
s
Tiny shining eye, rolling like a die
s
Casting my fate to the gristmill
s
This last night of ours
s
Frightened and surprised
s

Oh, tuck away those ancient jugs of yours
s
Reacquainted with the brush of a skin flake
s
Cooped up between a jyrk and a hard place
s
You sight your eye off the tip of your gun
s

Tiny, tiny paws covered in the dirt
s
Tiny purring sounds rising like a pike
s
Stabbing my hands like a savior
s
This last night of ours forever
s
Tiny, tiny paws turning into dust
s
Tiny shining eye, rolling like a die
s
Casting my fate to the wayside
s
This last night of ours
s
Frightened and surprised​​

Clover

I tried hard to be good to you
s
I felt peace inside my head
s
It’s impossible to just be cool
s

Please, please, please
s
Don’t, don’t, don’t
s
Walk like my single hope
s

We closed our lips and we called it our love
s
We swallowed a clover made of lead
s
It’s unmanageable to just keep on living
s

Please, please, please
s
Don’t, don’t, don’t
s
Walk like my single hope
s

I can only say it
s
So many times
s

Mike

Dad, what was Nigel supposed to do with your body?
s
A life I will never understand
s
Whose false teeth were gently pushed back into your
s
Mouth by your daughter’s husband
s

What am I supposed to do with this?
s
I feel like I am not nice because sometimes
s
It is hard for me to think something happy about you
s
Except for that dad, I love you
s
And will always, always miss you
s
Pull my finger
