caravan near the highway
blinking lights for the fast lane
i couldn’t find a solution
for your simple use status
stuck in the back with the trash
trying to find the way out
sweeping the crumbs of your cake
under your tunnel vision
take the road through the valley
on the way to the movies
it’s a sickness
a double feature
but if you find it
you’re now enlightened
trapped in the cab with your dad
asking for bloody mercy
sweeping the skins of your snakes
into your simple vision

Pro Trench

you’re pro trench
it doesn’t matter if you protest
your final moment
will be digging for your best friend
be all you can be
if all you can be
is a boot on the ground
cause all it takes is a spark
to make a hell of a fire
8 by 6 complete containment
if you’re not careful
they’ll be waiting
left left left right left
left left left right left
hail to the chief he is coming for your brothers

casting my stones
from the edge of my scarlet throne
punching the clock
from the edge of my cast iron dock
clean your teeth on my bones
can you see if my heart would stop
try to climb to the top
if you start then you’ll never stop
your private affairs now
on your scheduled time off
and it’s only a matter of time now
until you get caught
you’re an existing statistic
made of muscle and skin
maturity without mercy
in the irrelevant sector
trapped in your fantasy dreamworld
and it’s only a matter of time now
and your personal preference is mine now

gap year on the east coast
leads to careers far out west
with your life coach in the backseat
asking “how is your crisis?”
you’re a dangerous dime a dozen
until you get bought
those evil spirits
i can hear it
cause there’s no talking
no talking in the quiet car
a back seat crop
to be burned
is the only pleasure
to be sought

big mess in the pool hall
i’m wasting company time
if i knew then i’d tell you but maybe
they’re just one of those types
you better keep those secrets to yourself
and, hey, lose that smile
building the graveyard for your friends
staying up well past midnight
you keep your sequence repeating
hey it’s just a day in the life
don’t come close or i’ll show you
how to cut with a knife
spending time building windows through hurricanes
count your borrowed time
if you get yours i’ll have mine
working retail just to get by
punch the clock when you’re ready
tell the kennedy’s to come by

Pre-War American
02:43

you act so flippant
like you’ve never had a dream
to be carried up the mountain
and poured out with the cream
you’re a post war american
a sense of humor lost
hanging on the fringe of
your candidate in permafrost
keep your secrets safe
from the other side
if only they could listen
you might make up for lost time
counteract
not so fast
it’s not a crime
but you’re found at fault
corruption is the virtue
to which you’ll want to beat them all
a pre war zoomer
one back step at a time
hanging on the coat tails
as me and my friends tow the line
your pre war post war insight is not mine
take it back to the tank
and have it realigned
cause you’re a pre war american
zoomer

Garden Crimes

racing cars
shopping malls with cinemas
$5.05
exit 4 to exit 9
forgotten towns off the river line
a cannon ball shot and lodged in time
and a single wrong can change a thousand rights
back away from that city life
the golden rule of a sunday drive
keep your eyes on the left but stick to the right
and your lazy determination will help
you to survive
a jack in the pulpit
like a cedar vine
makes your head commit those
garden crimes
and your only way out
is in a box made of pine

rivers were made for flowing
so why not let them flow
people were made for showing
so why not let them show
show a little laughter
show a little smile
cause we’ve started on the last mile
children minds are crippled
black is what they see
man mind murder
so why not let him see
show a little laughter
show a little smile
cause we’ve started on the last mile
