flange squeal lullaby

i woke up on a freight train again
i woke up caught in the rain again
i let the water pour all down my face and then
i laid it against the brain of my pack again
i looked at you probably reading dune again
wondered when we'd play a tune again
i fell asleep to the squeal of the flange and then
i woke up on a freight train again
i sat up with corn all around me
breathed out a big sigh all around me
thought of being together in miami
my heart breaks with grief all around me
i looked up, saw my friends all around me
i looked up, saw nothing all around me
wondered how they could say this all about me
and laid back down to tune out the drowning
i often wonder how we could get past this
but i don't think there's a way past it
my chest feels tight and softly saddened
and i get caught up feeling too mad again

she said wanna come with me, i have something to show you
several city blocks of abandoned exam rooms
let's go over here, all the way to the top
when we get to the roof we can throw shit off
so we threw shit down
watched it crash into the ground
when all we are is trash
all we have is trash and clothing
she said i'm quitting cigarettes but the snipes don't count
she's the best at picking trash that i've ever found
she said i've got a feast and there's enough for tex
and i found a place to stay on freecampsites.net
so we drove into the night
not sure what we'd find
when all we are is trash
and all we have is trash and clothing
we look into the trash
and make riches out of anything
she said will you sit with me, i'm feeling afraid
cos i think i might have scabies, but i don't wanna say
you gotta tell our friends, cos i don't think that i can
i don't wanna be the bitch that brought bugs into the van
so she went to the doctor to see
turns out it was fleas
when all we are is trash
and all we have is trash and clothing
we hold onto our friends
we know holy friendship is everything
she said will you turn your light off? i'm lookin at the stars
with everybody's light on i cannot see that far
she said turn your light away, i'm lookin at the moon
when you look at me with that light all i see is you
so she wandered ahead
made that night her bed
when all we are is trash
and all we have is trash and clothing
i'll tear my body into scraps
you can sew me onto anything, anything
when all we are is trash
we know holy friendship is everything, everything
when all we have is trash
we make riches out of anything, anything
we hold onto our friends
we know holy friendship is everything, everything
when all we have is trash
we know holy friendship is everything, everything
we hold onto our friends
we make riches out of anything, everything
when all we have is trash
we hold onto our friends

i left my emergency exits hidden in my hair
and then i had to cut it off, couldn't keep my secrets there
how will i escape now?
how will i escape now?
when you said you were the meanest person you know
did you mean you were gonna spend all this time proving it?
i believe you now, i believe you now, can we stop yet?
can we stop talkin like we're saying what we mean when we're losing it?
how do i hold water in my cupped hands without spilling it?
how do i crawl into my own spine without breaking it?
someday i'll know
how to let go
of these extremes
that build my baddest dreams
despite these long years,
i still
can't breathe

halloween

oh, here you are
you're all i wished you could be
but in your eyes
you're still scared of me
i wish it was halloween
a costume i could take off of me
i spend my nights
wishing i was asleep
i spend my days
wishing i was buried
but here i am
no hope to quell anxiety
you are right in front of me
i am fighting demons you can't see
if this is sink or swim
i'm drowning

you do not have to participate
in taking your own character to trial
even if it's the safest way out
it catches up with you after a while
you are the only one that will live
with the challenges and joys of your choices
so choose them only for yourself
and talk shit to disparaging voices
no one owes you any explanation
any explanation at all
for decisions they decide to make
a little less judgment becomes us all
and if you're trapped
i hope that you can see it
and if you don't
i hope that you can see it soon
and when you do
i hope that you can get out
and once you're out
i hope that you remember
you do not have to participate
in taking your own character to trial
even if it's the safest way out
it'll catch up with you after a while
it's no one's job in this whole world
to make you a better person
and if they try to tell you otherwise
run in the opposite direction
you do not have to say 'thank you'
when you're just being put down
the pace you're going at is perfect
and you're always worth being around
and if you're trapped
i hope that you can see it
and if you can't
i hope that you can see it soon
and when you do
i hope that you can get out
and once you're out
i hope that you remember
you do not have to participate
in taking your own character to trial
