Sweetness 02:07
today i exist only in consequence and i am feeling so very insignificant when all you've left me is some fragile line of poetry and the memory of a smile so deceiving and will you be in your apartment tonight? will i be in your mind? and how many times will i read your goodnights before i hear the whispers of your best wishes? sleep well tonight, dream well in spite of all persistent haunting and the certainty that we will die and will you be in your apartment tonight? will i be in your mind?
2.
when everything you say to me resounds so sweetly, it ferments in mind and when you kiss me you're thinking of the city, ms. pretty don't be so kind oh what's the use in staying here it'll never be alright for you and i and when you kiss me you're thinking of the city, it ferments in mind you say our love can make it so what's the use in breaking-- tell me what you're waiting for while i'm staying here you're slipping out the back door and so there's nothing left in michigan oh what's the use in staying here it'll never be alright for you and i
3.
these walls are too thin, it's easy to eavesdrop and i don't really mind what i've been hearing you say it's nothing--that love is a mistake or something but i don't really mind what i've been feeling you're always coming by in the middle of the night, you're not mine but then you're here in the morning always coming around just like you do and your face is blurred with careful whispers but i don't really mind what i've been hearing the touch of your skin is softer than satin but i dont really mind what i've been feeling i'm always coming by in the middle of the night, you're not mine but then i'm there in the morning always coming around just like you do

Yr Jewelry 02:20
i'm wearing your jewelry once rested on your vanity i waste my lovers softly as we're slipping through the night "your love won't change overnight?" "my love won't change overnight" --i'm wandering tonight
5.
sitting here, you twist me in every little way you know wring me out and kiss me, i don't want you to go you were lookin' to me like you're so damn groovy--i'm not so quickly charmed and anyway i only wanted to see you, but i won't tonight so tell me lover, what's gone wrong? you've got me all up waiting all night long for something better --wearing your sweater and wouldn't you kiss me like someone i knew you could be? in some spitting world ever-fermenting--i'm never content to be and you were lookin' to me like you're so amusing--i'm not so easily charmed and anyway i only wanted to see you, but i won't tonight still, <del>lover</del><ins>lauren</ins>, don't you know? i'm loving you more than ever was and tonight i will cry

change yr mind
7.
come back to bed where we know eachother best where the winter bites at our necks and every snipping day-saint sins on the east side of the city, where once we were becoming come back to bed, where we know eachother best your wintry perfume, how it is waning--i've some explaining to do i'll gaze in the darkened reflection pane i know that this hipline should be plank black mirror would you ever give in? would you ever give in? would you ever give in, were i pretty as a woman?

Bandages 02:44
you're looking at me now and i don't know what to say medicine from the mouth is poison in the brain and wet black streaks are scarring the side of your face i watch you undress and sleep in the mess you made you'd look prettier dead so i'll take you by the hand and direct you to the bed you'll strain your lungs into the pillow crying no no no after it is done, i can see the stains on your teeth and the sides of your face seem to lack all symmetry i will forgive and never forget, i won't deny my philosophy's amiss these words are poison delivered through the lips stating it simply: ignorance is bliss you'd look prettier dead so i'll take you by the hand and direct you to the bed you'll strain your lungs into the pillow sighing oh oh oh
9.
Exfoliate 04:16
changing my sheets twice this week washing out the scent and residue every little thing that is left of you we can't escape suspicious-concretely we created every part of me i can't keep straight wandering out and loving around you twist me up when talking me down i want you dead swallowing you up wouldn't be enough i want you dead you wanted love, how's this for some? funeral flowers fall; wandering out, sweetly fermenting, loving around your winter perfume wanes and you run me out of lansing
10.
i've been suckling for far too long i've been slowly letting the fires die down i've been smashed and broken, i must pick myself together if i have the will--if i can find it still oh, i'll make the same mistake and make it three times more i don't ask for permission, most only for forgiveness and i would make amends, but i am such a chore and in my defense i've been shattered on the floor but i am just a man, whom do i answer for? and you'll catch me playing with myself in the corner i am lost now, i have been mourning my own self just put me in the ground cuz oh, i've been dead--i've been dead awhile now oh, i'll make the same mistake and make it three times more i don't ask for permission, most only for forgiveness and i would make amends, but i am such a chore and in my defense i've been shattered on the floor but i am just a man, whom do i answer for? my face has grown old, my face has grown cold i'm sick to the stomach and i made it so my mind has grown old, my body's necrosed my muscles are atrophied and i made it so my heart has grown cold, my heart has old i am a monster and i made it so
11.
chasing the memory of some collagist wallowing in moments selfish, faultless, and nothing so wish a quick death for these amnesiacs hopelessness and still hoping again
