"We watched a Phish concert and Human Centipede
Two things I now wish I had never seen"

Favorite track: Phish Pepsi.

Picking the ticks off of you
If you need me I’ll call you
In wino shoes he drags his feet
And I crawl toward you unkillably
Reality TV argument bleeds
Through the floor when i go to sleep
Walk over the wet boards of a wooden bridge
When I dont feel like being comforted
Melting outward like a movie burning on the screen
You and your broke dick sincerity
Bar light flickering
With high beams on were driving slow
Through a dog legged logging road
Look back and watch the engine blow
Through the darkness and dripping snow

Townies

Catchin up with the townies
Some have gone but most are still around
the ghosts of them surround me
They hang on tight until they drown
I met you in the neighborhood
You had connects to get us high
And then you sent my nudes around
I never yelled at you about it cause you
died
Went to a party in the county
Stokin bonfires with leaf blowers
He got you in the back of his car
just your sneakers and your drawers
A group of girls went around tellin
Everywhere you fooled around
And gave you a strong reputation
For being someone always
down
Off I-40
I crawl into your life beggin on my knees
And I get it now
You were 16 and bored and drunk
and They’re just townies
I catch up when I’m
around

scratch off ticket for the education lottery
found 'im drowned in the creek face was puffy
they hung his dirty jersey up in a trophy case
next to his girlfriend in a picture with a varsity face
I wound up here by holdin on
Your faceless fear gathers like a mob
I wound up here by holdin on
I wound up here by holdin on
Started the highway then ran out of money
So we meet up at the on ramp, drink 20/20
Weeds grew into the springs of the trampoline
You saw a pitbull puppy pissin off a balcony
I wound up here by holdin on
I wound up here by holdin on
I wound up here by holdin on
I wound up here by holdin on
Misread your name at the wake
Snack from a vending machine
Like a smack on the ass
At the back of a dream
Mounted antlers in the kitchen on a crooked nail
Other killers keep teeth keep the fingernails
I wound up here by holdin on
You reappear before I noticed you were gone
I wound up here by holdin on
I wound up here by holdin on

Sweet song is a long con
I drove ya to the airport with the E-brake on
aint heard that voice in a long time
had to check back there to make sure you were alive
Angel hum of an electric car
reverses toward me
sometimes in my head I give up and flip the board completely
But everybody gets along just fine
cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine
and the pink boiled eggs stay afloat in the brine
cause even the best champagne still tastes like
elderberry wine
You'll cry at commercials
at an unbolted leg scraping against the ground
as the tilt-a-whirl goes around
roll one up say it's mostly CBD
said I wanna have your baby
cause I freckle and you tan
I find comfort that angels don't give a damn
But everybody gets along just fine
cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine
and the pink boiled eggs stay afloat in the brine
cause even the best champagne still tastes like
elderberry wine
But everybody gets along just fine
cause the champagne tastes like elderberry wine
cause your eyes are the green of tornado skies
cause even the best champagne still tastes like
elderberry wine

Snuck in through the tennis court
laid in the dark on the carpeted floor
came here for a party in middle school
rode my bike home drunk off of a four loko
last time I saw you was a live stream of a funeral
you laughed when you told a story from when we were young
looks like you're holdin up alright
but I know it's sometimes hard to tell
I don't sleep in that room anymore
when the cicadas sync up they breathe too hard
We watched a phish concert and human centipede
two things I now wish I had never seen
we smoked weed out of a pepsi can
lyin' around under a christmas tree

Candy Breath

Broken nose piercer
Rotting away in to-go containers
Guzzle it down at midnight
In the fridge light
Gather round the fighting cage
Fueling the tire fire flame
Scatter like cockroaches
Through the dusty door
You opened up a portal
Into your sicko world
Bitten through the reigns
Surrounded by my sh sh sh sh shame
We’ll fight over your body
Drag you to the shore
Whether or not they know it
Everyone’s divorced
Draggin through
The mud
Mired in
Your candy breath
Your candy breath

The Way Love Goes

Knockin on that screen door
Even though I can see right through
I feel like I’m almost good
Enough, to know you
Oversold myself
On the night we met
I’m not as entertaining as you
Might’ve thought I was then
I’m scared to death
There's women less
Spoiled by your knowing
Newer and much sweeter
Many much more patient
With much more than I can give
You have seen me angry
I know its not been easy
And i know it cant always be
And that's the way love goes

Pick Up That Knife
04:21

Cracked my tooth on a cough drop
Winter stuck around after its gone
Grocery store on christmas
Parked too close to someone to get out
Foreign coins machine wont take
Cash out what we could to pay the rent
The drunken dark is broken
Sometimes it feels like it will never end
Did ya think we’d make it
Cant budge the water down the broken drain
Firing the wedding band
Someday ill kill the bitch inside my brain
Threw up in the pit a the Death Grips show
In a bottle spit dip and tell dirty jokes
And you keep on feeding that afrin addiction
Squeezing the bottle burning from itchin
When you pick up that knife you are askin for a fight
mouthed off to those bikers at a vacant stop light
They’ll meet you outside
Thought you’d get shipped home in a full body cast
You never could get your head out of your ass
Baptized to freedom and born in bondage
Had to bury you deep to keep the dogs from diggin
They’ll meet you outside

Wasp flew around my feet
woke up when it stung me
storm brought the rain to the porch
pinned myself to floor
my fear, my fate it never left
it follows me into my bed
your spirit watched me up the stairs
i was embarrassed how i went
Gods plan
unfolds
so slow

Bitter Everyday
03:21

Grocery store sushi
You’re choppin ketamine
With a motel room key
Like a razor on a water slide
Surgeon seeing your scalpel sewn inside
You get past the cold spot in the lake
And the easy things in life keep getting harder everyday
potpourri dead smell of a stagnant creek
Cause you rammed your car into a cherry blossom tree
And rolled the tires down a muddy hill
But you just keep swimming through until
You get past the cold spot in the lake
And the easy things in life keep getting harder everyday
A street Juggalo sang us a sweet song on the porch
When we lived downtown and whoever was near come on up
Next week we saw her on a poster stapled to a pole
She’d killed a guy and left the body layin by the road
In between Broadways and the ramp to 23
Swimming through
Cause to you
It’s just like swimming through a cold spot in the lake
And the sweetest parts of life keep getting bitter every day

Carolina Murder Suicide
04:24
|

|
My legs were stickin to
A leather chair
The heat from the streets
Makin waves in the air
The police
Talk to your husband on the phone
As they put out the fire on ur neighbors burnt up home
I twirled a baton out side
And noticed the look his daughter had
When her dad
Pulled that Tacoma in the gravel drive
they
Forced themselves inside
And found the scattered piles of a Carolina murder suicide
I’d seen him swing his wrapped up hands
At the bag in the garage
And I’d heard him shooting bottles
Off the top of a rotted wooden box
The older brother
Ran away
Took a bag to a bus stop late at night
He was a squirrel killing boy
Who picked at splinters with a pocket knife
The house
Collapsed
But the fire kept on burning at the scraps
And I wondered if grief could break you in half
When the gossip died and the
Ruins rotted away in the rain
And the fruit flies
Went to sleep in the drain

Gary’s II

Went for a drink at the bar down the road
Watchin horses and betting your clothes
You head out the door then to go for a smoke
It hit on the way out and stubbed you your toe
A guy rounds the corner in a fishermans hat
And he hits you in the face with a baseball bat
Takes a one look at you after he stopped to laugh
Noticed he mistook you
Got hit on behalf
Of some bastard from the bar who had slept with his wife
You said "I never seen you in my god given life"
You stood up and brushed off
And you felt for your mouth
Your teeth had leapt from you so you spit em all out
So you took up your pride
And you took up the bat
And you went for the shit head
took out his knee caps
You went the the dentist and he winced at your gums
And he said that false teeth were your only option
You said "go on ahead man and just take out the rest
Even the good ones are doomed and im tired of them"
The dentist took pause but said “seems fine to me”
And thats how ya got dentures at age 33
You told me this story as you stood by your truck
I said “gary man you have the worst of all luck”
I always did wonder how your teeth stayed so nice
When the only thing that you will drink is Pepsi

When (in 2040 maybe) an indie rom-com set in 2024 uses this song for the moment when two rugged protagonists come back together in an uneasy but comfortable third act reunion, we will all nod our heads and say "Yes. This is what it was to be alive in 2024--we were so beautiful and so rugged and we loved this song."
