Look at me now
I'm demanding your attention, your shame
I have found my direction and your lives were caught in the way
After my last meal we'll get to the point
The sensation starts to spread down my arms and through my joints
After I am dead will you consider what I've said or dwell on what i've done?
Mama kept me on the prayer list
by having me sip on things that would make me sick
but Mama, I'm trying my best to make you proud
They will know that you chose the name everyone's saying now
Now they lay me down
To sleep and be secure
and my breathing will slow down
until my heart beats no more
After I am dead will you remember what I said?
Goodnight, Goodnight
I love you, I love you
I'll see you tomorrow
Hopefully

Is your head on straight now?
Can we talk about how
the crisis has been avoided?
Would that give a sense of relief?
Have I been wrong?
I'd find that comforting
I wish that I could keep from thinking anything
Turn this feeling down
It's so loud that I can't think
Clinging to a couch
trying my best not to sink
Passed the point I'm missing
just before I started listening
Park the car, I'd rather walk
I'm fine I just need some fresh air
Have I been wrong?
I'd find that comforting
I wish that I could keep from thinking anything

Temporary Solution

Watched a dog almost get hit
He crossed the road and didn't flinch
Faced his impermanence and moved on
Given the opportunity
I might break the old routine
Just let me know when so I can ask off
To talk myself into a corner
was never my intention
The circles that I used to talk in
won't pay me any attention
What kind of asshole would I be
to show concern for only me?
I'm sorry for how long it took to tell
Now I am learning to accept
avoidance as as a solution
You'd like to leave and I don't mean to dwell
In keeping with my own tradition
I'm making light of my mistakes
I should not have pointed them out
to begin with, but what can I say?

Do You Believe Me Now?

As she took a ride
in her boyfriend's SUV
she looked at him sincerely
and said "let's drive to the bottom of the river"
And while his first thought
was "how long can I hold my breath?"
he said he wasn't sure
She laughed and said "I never thought you would believe me"
Do you believe me now?
We can find new homes
and ditch the names that never chose
No one would call
and we'd have a good excuse for feeling lonely
Don't you love the way
the lights look from way down here?
It feels good to say
my head is not alone in feeling swimmy
Now the bridge is closed
They're stretching tape across both ends
I can't say for sure
But I've got a feeling that they'll never find us
Do you believe me now?

Who's to blame?
Chalking it up to circumstance,
it was out of your control
Isn't it great to stand up against
all of the odds you've stacked ?
Building your house with Jenga blocks
it's ready to fall
How did you tell them?
How did they take the news?
It took some explaining
That's one thing I can do
Letting the waves
smooth all the edges out of you
while leaving your softer traits
There's just so much left to improve
but you put your faith in them
Tumbling til the day is through
and you aren't yourself
How did you tell them?
How did they take the news?
It took some explaining
That's one thing I can do
