aa:

just because you stomp your feet
doesn’t need screaming if you’d get your
red vines in line.

sound asleep it’s possibly the worst dare a human being
can take on,
torn up and it’ll tear you up and torn down.
it’s never been this dim

if you think the crows aren’t watching,
you’ve lost it all.
at last,
we’ve been representing this since kids

where’ve you gone to, could the bridge be less
itself than a typical day, sending the locks
without combinations. i’ll wear your crown

i’ll sing your praises whispering lies & deceit
you’ll never know

a thing of this.


i’ll give the final blow.

remember, you
are just a simple spot
on this big planet.



dd:

nothing else matters if the spies are out
its your rights on the line,
press the issue
push that envelope hard son,

sacrifice your life if it comes down to the
right price. of financial systems,

you can count on me.
you can count on me.

you know you want to
but the legs and sycophant in me aren’t up for this
nasty premonition
you came up with in the closet. bottlerocket

sums up,
wake your body up and act fast.


my leniency to you is now punishing me
& who answers the door for you,
this time of night.

double check everything. it is time.



dd:

i’ve controlled myself this long
to die for you just this once
& never again will you call me friend

start the car, a slow ascension.


i’m wrapping up this scene to bring you
back. child,
yesterday was the perfect example, did you
hear my creed or sleep easy.
we’ve got a long way to run.


your stomach is twisting just the way
the family expected it to.
how nice of you, how keen it must feel,


the electric fence is ready as ever &
come screeching high if it asks you to,



& you’ll be so surprised if i still let you in.
