first he spoke of the stars
he spoke of the sky and the stars
then he spoke of the cats
he spoke of the three cats
of what is
of what is not
see all of the dust, he said
see all of the gold, he said
all the rubble in their crooked jaws
hear the fuss, hear the fuss
hear the noise
with body failing, he caught fire
with arms flailing, he caught fire
then he spoke of a friend
he spoke of his friend the ghost
and like the ghost
he was gone
burning like a flag
burning like the stars
see all of the dust, he said
see all of the gold, he said

bone stew on high flame
who is to blame
when i've run out of proud faces
lions to be tamed
it's not the same
when roars take over still voices
blast off at full speed
there is no need
to wait evermore on venus
cause it has teeth
and i'm a fly
i'll write a memo
to make sure that
i remember where i forgot my sympathy
i'll write a memo
just to remind me
i should keep laughing and march indefinitely
it had sharp teeth
and i was a poor fly
i'll write a memo
then burn the memoir
all i have are a few simple words anyway
i'll write on paper
nothing but scribbles

i'm not receiving input
adjust the frequency
adjust the frequency
fix the static, fix the static, fix the static
cracking sounds from the top
coming from above
coming from above
in my eyelids, in my eyelids, in my eyelids
i fall off the cruise ship
into the ocean
into the ocean
drink the water, drink the water, drink the water
all of it
so tip the fishbowl, tip it all over
all of it

Haunted House

the silent rooms
with their open tombs
could shelter me at night
the hall that brings
all lurking things
could keep me company
oh, i'm shaping up
i'm shaping this place up
oh, i'm shaping up
i'm shaping this place up
the clock that ticked
but talks no more
could hang above the door
the grounds outside
where one dares not stride
could use a picket fence
tell me how to tame time
tell me how to claim what's mine
to climb the walls that tower there
tell me how to tame time
to climb the walls that tower there
the starless sky
and the woods that died
are things i call my own
the riverbed's
water running red
is where i bathe my hair
oh, i'm shaping up
i'm shaping this place up
oh, i'm shaping up
i'm shaping myself up

once i was
a silver bucket
sturdy and stout
never seeping
full of water
now i am
the rusty scraps
mangled and crushed
shedding every ounce
you pour in me
i feel empty
i feel empty
