LAZY CAPTIVE SATURDAY

R
U half empty or half full like
Ten out of ten
How could you
Let the audience believe in anything
Except
Sorry
Sorry gods

Wait, was I
On a Sucker list? or
R U
Losing
Deep sleep on Mariana's trench

MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION

It all makes complete sense
I'm still a teenager that doesn't belong anywhere

perfection
is
Always
ten minutes too late and

After all these years
I've been told more than once
I'm more fun when I'm drunk

GOODNIGHT SWEET THANG

We dreamt of
flowers and listening to women

Still every time
we go to bed
we go to war

sleep
drowns
in the arms of a fallen angel

Maybe she's been Nauseous since january
Like me

I forget
tomorrow
we can wake up without pain
And If i could sing you to sleep
I would
