I never had the faith that you could read a room
Your glasses broke in half and you’re too quick to assume
You’re standing on a chair just to see beyond the crowd
They’re lining up in throngs because they knew they weren’t allowed
To offer up the claim that his talent was endowed
His wrist will twist the knob to make his music way too loud
I’m tearing pages
Of books I read in hopes that they would tell me what to say
I think you’re ageless
Your bleeding mind on borrowed time was thrown beneath the stage
I never understood why the veils were so thin
I’d conceal more with an unconvincing grin
Splayed upon my face and dripping down my chin
I keep greedy -- oh so needy -- always need to win

You once said you’d run at the first sign of my grand mistake
Drunken headlights, through the night, carry their ashes to the lake
Assault your best intentions
Death prevention in a vest that sunk like all the rest
You abstain from the game that was fixed by your foe
And you claim all the same that he lived through the snow
Though you knew for all this time that his corpse was yours to brine
I’m so impressed by your duress, when perfection was the crime

How to Tie a Tie

My limbs are limp
They’re merely cogs
After I sing
I’ll split a log
Have you seen my fumes?
Is this gas ideal?
How many bananas are there left to peel if you don’t count the Chiquita seal?
Who knew turning keys could be so fun?
Should the aches and pains come this young?
I would not have known how to tie a tie had it not been for articles I read online
Insisting wind
On an instant sail
Milk from a cow
Too big to fail
Exhausted form
On a breathless night
From those lips so worn
Comes a breath of spite
