lyrics

I'm feeling strange again (softly spoken hallelujah she said)
timing like the shot if enough cash was enough (put a seed in the head)
can we have a really fat joint (lead pencil white ink)
I'm off the stoop
where the number dialed 782 broke the chord
and then guitar strings
metals all around us
and car handles
all in uniform
line lines lines
just stash the shit out
got what we want, we're not gonna take no fall

some things go without saying
torn your gun in vain
if the train come
and I'm not there
I'll be happy in the morning

valium couldn't help her
with crippling anxiety
the world is a monster out of touch with society

"this is very comfortable"
"mhm yeah its not bad, align the beads to support your frame"
"sounds like you've done this a lot"
"for surgeries"
"you were so down"
I was sitting up when they spoke right through me
"yeah yeah"
In your first attempt
that time was not certain
though she was sweet
you could hear the teardrop
she felt safe though
nothing compared... to the depths of such thoughts
ha, walked off with a laugh
just a scare on the arse
mum makes the sausages she knows the lengths and measurements for tolerance
all in the mind she said at seventy seven you'd never known you had grown up upon entering the gate
the call she left in a sea shell still chills me to my bones

father snoring
put some smack on his lip she'd say
though take your knickers off first or there be a dis-arrangement
don't flavour the pork
go over the fence
they bring lean spice for ya
no trespassing she would say pointing the finger at you
mother had a way with words that passes through your voice reinforcing the kinship you wavered in doubt
back off, just three weeks to shave the bullion
need not bring it all back or suspicion be bee be buzzer

father yelled
the family was always in silence though
a nice piece of art
