Sleepy Peeps

Bag of bones put a face to the name
Very now and then you can hear the disdain
Local really means a hundred miles away
All the sleepy people take the morning train
All the sleepy people take the morning train
Can’t stay awake in the light of day
Sleep with the coffee pouring down their face
They sleep on the way home, then they sleep again
No need to panic
I’m automatic
Just not romantic
It’s problematic
Self-fulfilling prophecy addicted to thrills
Self-fulfilling prophecy you need these pills
Division that rewards anyone who can kill
Briefly immortalized body cam stills
Fountain of youth straight in the bloodstream
Chief of disaster now elect my offspring
Priest of a temple they call the West Wing
Heir to a class war to invest in
No need to panic
I’m automatic
Just not romantic
It’s problematic

I’m a nice dude with some nice dreams
much aligned with oppressive regimes
and I’m proud to say who I’m wearing
Bible belt, whipped out at the scene swinging
I’m a nice dude, but I hate you
don’t confront me on any of these issues
it’s a bloodline
it’s a red sky
it’s a flag
it’s a collar
yeah it’s implied
I have great wealth
I earned myself
with a little help
with a little help
Trophies on my shelf
Participated well
If you couldn’t tell
Oh what a life I live
so so so derivative
All I want is job security
Prime time television without nudity
And a tax cut because it’s my turn
Sacrificed my integrity and first born
and I’m proud to say who I’m wearing
Rust belt, whipped out at the scene swinging
it’s a bloodline
it’s a blue sky
it’s a flag
it’s a collar
yeah it’s implied
I have great wealth
I earned myself
with a little help
With a little help
Trophies on my shelf
Participated well
If you couldn’t tell
Oh what a life I live
so so so derivative

New Skin

Uptown, down and out
while I’m rolling with the punches
New skin setting in,
getting used to all the functions
The stress, unaddressed
as I get a whiff of asphalt
Coming up short, can’t afford
it be anyone’s but my fault
A lot of content, so little context
Never quite content, never did consent
Hands in the fire
White belt messiah
Never quite content, never did consent
Is my shell too obscene
as a form to be seen
washed up on the shore
someone’s been here before
Sudden urges emerge
to work up the courage
Washed up on the shore
think I’ve been here before
Clouds shaped like animal shaped clouds
Running out of green, out of steam
it’s collateral damage
Step into the back of a black Saab
feeling like I’ve had it
Take me from the lights, to the fights
yeah get out of Manhattan
A lot of content, so little context
Never quite content, never did consent
Hands in the fire
White belt messiah
Never quite content, never did consent
Is my shell too obscene
as a form to be seen
washed up on the shore
think I’ve been here before
Clouds shaped like animal shaped clouds

Hard to say I’m indifferent
Hard to know how deep in it
Am I at the beginning
Can I skip the middle and ending
Wading through the endless swamp
I pinch my nose and suck it up
Her lungs are filled with seaweed
Her mouth is full of algae
The tip of her tongue missing
Her gums decomposing
Those wretched memories on call
I drummed them up, I thought of them all
Oh sweet Florida man
I’m so glad it’s you
But I don’t understand
How you do what you do
Alligator infested
Samples left untested
Nothing more than expected
It’s a method that’s accepted
Wading through the endless swamp
I suck it up and move along
Too close for comfort
Middle of the summer
Wrapped up in a raincoat
Then tossed off of the airboat
Front and center in her yearbook
Early to mid 2000s look
Oh sweet Florida girl
I’m so sad it’s you
and I won’t get over
what happened to you
Oh no I’ve done it again
This time can’t turn it around
I’ve got to pick up the parts
I’ve got to reel in the rod
Oh sweet Florida girl
I’m so sad it’s you
and I won’t get over
what happened to you
