Mental Math

darling bet on the horse who will win by a mile
and all of the while
i am absolutely dispossessed of the feelings i chased
in the formative ages
times i thought i'd gotten it right
but i'd gotten it wrong
should have known all along
that love means saying sorry
saying sorry all the time
i don't really want to say i'm sorry
say i'm sorry all the time
sarah draw me another giraffe i can show
all the people we know
my apartment walls are always cold and lifeless
like a hospital bed
here in my head it's always mental math
love means saying sorry
saying sorry all the time
i don't really want to say i'm sorry
say i'm sorry all the time

Don't Ask

is this a hill you're comfortable dying on
is this a point you're comfortable staking an argument on
is this a hill you're comfortable dying on
is this the way you hoped to tell your parents you're not coming home
don't ask i wouldn't know that
don't ask how would i know that
don't ask i wouldn't have that information
is this a guy you're comfortable bringing around
didn't he almost get you arrested when you were young
is this the fastest path to create an alternative son
is this the way you'd hope to tell your friends that you don't understand them
don't ask i wouldn't know that
don't ask how would i know that
don't ask i wouldn't have that information

Little Target

you are just a little target
three tries but I always miss you
sometimes when dogs get near me
I sit listen for the feedback
bad luck it seems to find me
too soon in this late century
i know that when words aren't enough others will say them again
I can feel the feeling coming up inside me
that when I get what I want I always want something else
staring at ceilings deciding to deal with all that you need
I know that it’s tired l but I want it all for myself

Tangerines

cannonball
i will make a mess lighting the dark
step aside miscreant
i will drive a stake into your heart
hide me and find me
i won't go to sleep til you do better
i'm feeding you tangerines on my bathroom floor
i watched you carefully choosing your steps to the door
i never know how to make you feel well anymore
hide me and find me
i won't go to sleep til you do better
i'm feeding you tangerines on my bathroom floor

Light Farm

i watched as they scrambled off to light the signal tower
i knew without a guide how they'd all be devoured
disappointed children play like they're in charge of what's to come
the night grows blacker still
block out the sun
while the light farm kept them occupied
i watched as they jockeyed for position in the line
to the boat that would take them to a softer place to die
and i tried to keep the smile on my face from everyone
the clouds grow blacker still
block out the sun
while the light farm kept them occupied
while their iphones kept them occupied
while their rifles kept them occupied
