1.
I've fallen asleep but my head keeps ringing I think I'll have to stand up for a bit I'll take you up on that iodine offer, I'm trying to carve the bees out of my teeth As if you've never felt empty, as if you've never been home What good is dancing alone when the whole room is crowded up at the front door A conditioned surrender, a sudden defeat Then I jolted awake with the taste of sugar and iron I got a handful of children's aspirin and I'm not afraid to buck it A conditioned surrender, a sudden defeat I'm only outlined in faded colors I'll punch out airholes and suffocate
2.
I found a dog eared page in a book without words I forced meaning into blankness and my cowardice showed Like a light that's emitted with no physical form I felt it crack against my spine when you showed that it's worth was gone Nameless, graveless I'm a ghost with no home Watching, waiting, for something to call my own You can take me from the mud but I swear I'll leave tracks A steady trickle; drops repeating, can split a mountain in half I thought the bleeding in my wrist could take the tarnish out of gold? I picked a bouquet of flowers and in dandelion mane's rose a piece of amber yellowed like an old picture framed in a kind of wood they say hasn't grown in these parts in years "Oh deceiver, was it worth it? Can you still sleep[dream] the way I used to?" Lift your hand from my chest and let the river take me I am lost
3.
I'm a newborn foal in a three legged race with death You fucked up if you thought it would be fair Don't hold your breath for too long, I doubt the air will get clearer when the smoke rises past our eyes I held your gaze in a mirror, and your reflection turned to stone I guess you had every reason to panic And I'll say it again, I fucking hate the Eagles man Wimps and posers leave the hall Cowards; hold your crown
4.
It came in steady waves, in the false illumination of a passing headlight Your ribs expelled their pain when you had the realization that he left unscathed and now you're "damaged goods" like a bird with one wing that's forced to fly in circles You'll black out your canvas heart, but you'll paint it back in with the widest brushstrokes Don't close your mouth, with spears made of teeth you pierced the heart that was made of paper "It's what I'm owed" and "I didn't know" is what builds the bars of a gender-prison I wish you crushed his head like an apple for making the orchard grow without rain We're all at fault It came in steady waves, in the false illumination of a passing headlight Your ribs expelled their pain when you had the realization that he left unscathed and now you're "damaged goods" like a bird with one wing that's forced to fly in circles You'll black out your canvas heart, but you'll paint it back in with the widest brushstrokes Who bruised the skin of the peach in your false walled, honey-comb trap?
5.
The wound where your arrow pierced me, the wound where your arrow pierced my heart I could have felt at piece but I began to feel my shame in whisper My eyes were blinded but I reached out to you (Oh Lord) but your hands had turned back into the quicksand I want to shrink into nothing, and climb the ladders in the folds of your dress I don't know why I'm surprised to find that you're still pretty when I know you've held the sunlight for what seems like half my life I'll turn my mouth to the muzzle of a gun that only shoots fake bullets I'll lose myself to the current, with my back against the stone's throw shoreline The wound where your arrow pierced me, the wound where your arrow pierced my heart I wish I'd fallen asleep when I began to feel my face in the water But my eyes wouldn't close, so I guess I'll hold my breath forever I never thought you were brave, but I expected more than silence to comfort you, so lift your hands from my chest, and let the river take me I am worthless
