guess what
i found out why i was distracted
by the cuff of your sleeve
it turns out it reminded me of my father
i could not concentrate rationally
now how could you ever expect to get things done
when you have 5 minutes
to express the depth of your feelings
& i know now
that's just not the way
i ever want to work again
i cannot come over
i cannot come over
You And Your Company Are Done
Next up let's talk about commitment
it's not about you, you're innocent
it's just i've graduated from esoterics
and now i'm in it
i see after i after i delivered my perspective
i second guessed it.
these feelings were not concrete
enough for you
not concrete enough for you
your company deals with concrete
this was not concrete enough for you* * *
your company deals with concrete
this was not concrete enough for you.

you're a piece of wood
someone's come to reclaim you
only cuz they should
be renewably minded
i mean you're a piece of coal
someone's lungs are black from you
only cuz they worked
so hard to refine you

one time
when i was walking
under a chalk yellow moon, of course
pleased with the rain
investigator (not private)
there are new jobs nowadays
there are ways to be subtle and specific
there are new jobs nowadays
there are ways to be both
subtle and specific
I had an echelon
but less manicured
it was like
an esha-loo
an a-choo
a sneeze
but less triggered
by dust
and i trusted it.
cuz there are ways
new jobs
there are ways
to be subtle and specific
my thighs sigh sometimes
with the weather, of course
the yellow moon's chalk
and i stay away sometimes
i've stayed away sometimes
why
i've stayed away sometimes
this is why I've stayed away.

I used to sleep with my lover just to keep him loving just to keep him loving me cuz he never knew what he felt like out of bed.
I never did it for him it was obvious he'd watch me fall over things when the lights were off his room you can imagine was a danger zone.
Dreamt of his mother but was scared of her thunder so he hid under covers with english literature like d.h. lawrence but inside he had a comic.
Back when the winter was a rainy season perched like spies watching skunks in the evening sit on your front porch try to find you something to say.
I used to sleep with my lover just to keep him loving just to keep him loving me he never knew what he felt like out of bed.
I never did it for him it was obvious he'd watch me fall over things when the lights were off his room you can imagine was a danger zone
how did he watch me in the dark you were wondering well it's not so important to our story but he had a little light on his watch he used to flash in my eye.
i used to sleep with my lover just to keep him loving, just to keep him loving me, cuz he never knew what he felt like out of bed.

you dreamt you sucking on the fruit of the earth
nothing, nothing could sate your thirst.
what's worse was how the sweet taste changed
on your strong tongue nothing stays the same
i'll never look into your eyes (again)
you dreamt you were sucking fruit from the gun
the one you had slung to your hip when you were young
you raised it to the sky like a skewer in the sun
you wanted a warm bite of an apple
but you broke your teeth on the bullet from a battle.
I want to go
and go
and go
cuz baby we are noble to be The Escapists
I want to go
and go
and go
Or else we'll be like time,
imprisoned convicts.
You dreamt you were riding the back of a slug.
The blue gorgeous excrements of his slowness
shined in your palm
When you woke up on the floor to a drum
You knew nothing was real
Now What do you feel?
Punch holes in your floor
until you punched into the dirt
you punch through all the ground
you're on the other side of the world
From San Francisco to Mont Marte,
there's your heart!
You dreamt you were sucking
the fruit of the earth
nothing i mean nothing
can sate your thirst
it's a curse
your taste buds change
on your strong tongue
nothing can stay the same.
Oh I wish I could feel your hand fall
heavy asleep on my breast
