Trial Run

Am I allowed to speculate we are in a trial run?
You tell me I get another chance
A second story
Would I change what I do?
Would I do what I say?
If anyone met with more than silence
Would anyone else still fear waiting?
It’s pointless to know that which we can’t comprehend
Or to help what’s in ourselves
A snake devours its tail and spits out the seed
If I could elect out of this wheel of pain
I’d do so gladly
Are we a gift or a plague?
Miracles are man made
The reflex to cry
Tenses inside
The reflex to hide tempts me
My human urge to fly when
Faced with the end
My human urge
It shames me
As soon as we feel close to some
We’re compelled to lose them
The years that once were ours to grasp
Are gone too quickly
Made to grieve what has passed
’Til all we do is wave goodbye

Diagnose

Crawl into my mouth
I’ve been waiting
This sick joke is my all time favorite
It’s too dark to tell if you came in clean
But it’s not hard to guess the color you stain me
Tender bodies on the attack
Turning out from inside
I’m using and you’re using me back
And I know we deserve to love
Or a concept as abstract
To sever the thing that’s binding us
But we both know we can’t
Come down on my neck
It’s no good praying
A short term antidote for our self-hatred
And let’s just not pretend
That either one can leave
The cycle of regret and reciprocity

What's Best for You
04:40

Fruit of her womb
Apple of her eye
Little girls must be ironclad
They cannot see you cry
But bite her hand
And Mother makes you bleed
Need I remind you you’d be nowhere without me?
She only wants what’s best for you
A tender age
A fertile plain
I cannot cope
Transmit the pain
I shed my hope
A shell remains
I press you close for selfish gain
Watch him go, he’s always on the move
Another deadbeat daddy with something left to prove
Distract, divert from all the times he failed
Fill the void of needed care with postcards in the mail
He only wants what’s best for you
