The Slow Blink

you’re a cat. that’s all I look for in a friend.
I've got your back, and you don’t have to have mine
cuz when my landlord says ‘your rent is 2 months late’
and I've overdrawn my bank account so many times today
you refurbish my life with your slow blink
I’m alone in this place
Because nobody really sees me
I'm a passerby without a face
but you don’t care what I've lost
Or even if I've had a shower
you empower me with your slow blink
I've got jack
And all my exes think i’m crazy
as a bat! but you don’t care who I've done wrong
and when I can’t get a job because i’m a fucking slob
and i’m worse than every character in les misérables
you make me feel so high with your slow blink
I’m alone in this place
Because nobody really needs me
I’m an obstacle got in their way
But you need me to survive. I am integral to the clowder
you empower me with your slow blink
you empower me with your slow blink
you empower me with your slow blink

the bottoms of my feet remind me of seashells
the bottoms of my feet remind me of seashells
don't ask me why
don’t ask me why
don’t ask me why
don’t ask me why
i don't have to tell you how i feel
cuz you can see through me like i'm not real
you can read me like the palm of your hand, like a tea leaf
like the palm of your hand
like I'm not real
like I’m not real
like I’m not real
your eyes remind me of the sea at night
your eyes remind me of the sea at night
your eyes remind me of the sea at night
don't ask me why
don’t ask me why
don’t ask me why
don’t ask me why
I don't have to tell you how I feel
cuz you can see through me like I'm not real
you can read me like the palm of your hand
like a tea leaf
like the palm of your hand
like a tea leaf
like the palm of your hand
like I'm not real
like I’m not real
am I not real?
the bottoms of my feet remind me of seashells
the bottoms of my feet remind me of seashells
the bottoms of my feet remind me of seashells
don't ask me why
don’t ask me why
don’t ask me why
don’t ask me why

I am into your pain

I am into your pain
I'm into your struggle
all your sorrows in vain, dear
in the crippling rain
I am into your pain
and the details you leave out
and the taste of your trauma
and the sound of your name
all I want to say
as I while away
a long, long way
from achieving something
you’ve got a way
of bringing it all out of me
I want to know you
and not just biblically
I like the cut of your brain
and the way that you feel stained
and aloof and estranged, dear
some people think you’re insane
I’m really into your pain
how you don’t follow the grain
like you got on the wrong train
and then decided to stay
all I want to say
as I while away
a long, long way
from achieving something
you’ve got a way
of bringing it all out of me
but if you wanna know me,
I hope you realize
I'm really into my pain
it’s an ancient affair
it’s as old as the moon, dear
and going nowhere real soon
I’m really into my pain
it’s as long as my hair
and it’s stronger than booze, dear
it was my very first muse
all I want to say
as I while away
a long, long way
from believing something
you’ve got a way
of bringing it all out of me
but I won’t make you stay
when you move on

Beach Prayer

Oh Lord, give me the strength to live long enough
To sea the shore again
For Lord,
Living is hard
It’s so hard
I have to kill myself for everything
Oh Lord, nothing is more worthwhile
On Earth than sleeping soundly on the sand
Oh Lord, nothing is more worthwhile
Than chipper waves atop an FM band
Oh Lord, give me the strength to live long enough
To fear the shore again
All these hours
Men try to hoard like bread
Yet there they slither through their brittle hands
Like beatles from the sun when a rock is overturned
The flowers in your hair will fade before they burn
The music that you wrote so long ago will yet give way
To the sound of horse flies nipping at your ear
Oh Lord, give me the strength to live long enough
To hear the shore again
For Lord
I'm losing heart
And so much blood
That I’m not strong enough to make it art
Oh Lord, give me the strength that others find from love
For I only find it in the salt that Gaia cried
Oh Lord, I ask for everything
And watch me ask for more
The sun sets in the west, and yet I never rest
Oh Lord, give me the strength to live long enough
To feal the shore again
For Lord
I’m losing heart
I’ve given out, I’ve given in, I’ve given everything
It’s so hard
I have to kill myself for everything
It’s so hard
I have to kill myself for everything
It’s so hard
I have to kill myself for everything

I’m so sorry I murdered your friend
such a crude way for his story to end
but I'm just a man
like your Popeye
and I just do what I’m naturally trained to do
and if he dies, he dies
and he who has tears can cry
They don’t let me feel anything but rage
oh woops, I mean I eat my spinach every day
I live and I fight in a literal cage
It’s so pointless to feel remorse
They ride me like a horse
but such a hard-working horse
of course, of course
(OH SUCH A HARD-WORKING HORSE)
(OF COURSE, OF COURSE)
My veins are full of pure adrenaline
Our great technology will never fail again
girl I’m less afraid of American men
than of what I myself just might do to them
it’s so hard to believe I was ever a boy
for all that I touch, I destroy
I MUST BREAK YOU
I WILL BREAK YOU
I AM A BETTER MAN
I AM A BETTER MAN
I CANNOT BE DEFEATED
and a look into my eyes
is a look into the future
and your country’s demise

thank you for your service
thank you for your time
give an inch I’ll take a mile
the time of day I'll take a while
thank you for your purpose
thank you for your life
thank you for your everything
and thank you all the time
