thoughts creep to
bag my head
tie my ankles bind my hands
make my sternum clap
as i walk the plank i slip into the river.
bound, broken
nothing can bring me further from here
the bottom is the bottom
lower ground is gone
if i keep my head the thoughts will lose.
seams give
when the bitter taints your tongue
and the lights blind your eyes
it will silently move around you
and settle into the dark
you're not going to like it when you wake
you can trust me on that
you can try to run but it will
grab at your ankles and drag you to its den
once you fall
it's coming back again
it's coming back again
i've drowned in my use again
covered in gashes from what i've done
some things you can never put down
bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out

do you speak?
yes, i am planning to but not right now
to play dead so many obligations must be met.
i said, "play dead"
i said, "come home."
look at me, i crumble like chalk,
i sometimes wish and then he rots
it all goes so wrong
unrequited once, i checked my list
and imagine you laugh with a wire to talk
happenstance always allots for many things to go wrong
but still, many obligations must be met
so he tried and they watched and he failed
and they left him
so now the tempest tells him, "play dead."
"and for lack of what is best, falter not
remember what skulks and shall stalk:
it seeps through marrow while sleep amidst,
Betrayed, you'll never account for this!"
play dead.

i used to sleep in dreams, you know
kiss you like feathers
i turned my back on all that
said i always wanted to
i used to find wonder and light
definition sublime
tides they come and go
can't shake off this cold
shadows only tease me
silhouettes are only dreams
silently, surely, it all rots away
reflection in my eyes is hollow now
so stale, too gone
it's not fair now
all the things you wanted are buried in the dirt
dissolving
the time is now, do you feel it,
the king is dead, can you stand,
this is the time, rise up,
poise your force, will it, make it real
tell your truth, kill them all
kill them dead
throw it all away
way in the back of the space again
in the hole where i keep all my violence
thinking hard on the river and
why i let myself drown. foster the growth
just to cut it out of the body in a veneered
display of simple avoidance
as if that ever was the way forward,
it's just the way to die.
but maybe
that's what i'm after
is it what i'm after?
maybe so
i just, i just
i don't have the answer
i just
carry
the load.

it's all wrong
watch it burn
thief
centipede falls from your mouth,
pick up your jaw
with your shattered point
turn your head around
look back, step back
recap
every nuance of soul
answer to the angles
relate your fuzzy math
the warning's in the air
i am aftermath
we bite in
we cut that wound
we watch it bleed
and die.
something dangerous seems somewhat damaged
territorial pissings of this animal lack viciousness
reduct, replay, reductive
i don't think you get it
but i'll stick around
kicking in your head
just to kick in your head
this is not hopelessness
is it?

thanks for making this cat always cry for food
if forgotten this lie will remember
to never let this go
from porcelain insincerity
two pointless messengers
always can supply empty promises
words away and seconds pass
days burn on, now hours last
ill-begotten text, a rapecamp on paper,
bonds a liar's crop to your words
heavens glare in a pool of disease
like wolves hiding in pillows
you'll struggle to close
the wounds.
broken and constant, you can't pull the knife out
alone and collapsing, watching your bed burn
watching it all fall
there's no facing forward, there's no way back now
there's no explanation
you're just dying
you can't gain a foothold, it's all going faster
and you're moving slower
there's no excuse now, there's no more reason
it's just what you wanted
i guess.
drowning, sorry, falling, blinded
drowning, sorry, falling, faster
drowning, sideways, crashing, faster
drowning, darker, crashing, apart
apart
abort
rest now
and forget
every part that tears
with every movement you make
it's not really there.
when the cheese fell from his mouth,
as the vulture ripped him in half,
"beautiful imagination, you're playing tricks on me again,"
the mouse thought.
then his eyes went out.

pictures in your head
of faces you knew
remember where you stood
when they let go
feel the weight set
sinking slow
all the things you had
all the shit preferred
wake up and check your phone
wake up and check your face
everyday
make sure you have enough gas
turn your radio off
roll your windows up
you try to get away but
trust me you won't.
dance on minefields
crawl through glass
attic players, drowning act
cutthroats, busted knees
blue leather, gasoline
off brand nicotine for
our martial schemes
monsters reading military tactics
empty corners
crystal ball joke.
dark knights dissolving
in darker rain
to nothing
there's nothing.
a world away
to where you've run
the weight of it all
on you
so i stand in the back
and i stay away
i keep busy
i wear a stain
you don't know what it's like
and you won't know that it's here
and there's nothing i can say
that could make this repaired
i wish i made the time
i wish i read that book
i wish, i wish
i wish you were still here.
