I GIVE UP 03:05
Touch me or don’t I don’t care I’m done Hold my breath And faint for fun Faint into your arms Simple Stupid I give up I want to know your name Not really Shut up I want you to know your name Not really Shut up You wanna know my name I want to cut myself Cut myself on your love Gorge on your cake Shut up You wanna know my name Simple Stupid I give up

I can't remember my name. Can anybody tell me where I am? Were we out last night, it's dark in here, please turn on the lights. I can't remember my name. Can anybody tell me where I am? Were we out last night? I thought I was just being nice.

All my pretty things are breathing for me All my pretty things are heaving for me All my pretty things are searching for me But I’m not there I’m not there I'm out here All my pretty things are burning for me All my pretty things are yearning for me All the lights are turning for me All the lights are green All the eyes are weeping for me All the eyes are green All the teeth are gnashing for me All the teeth are green All the pretty muscle is flexing for me All the pretty muscle gleams All the faces turning from me All the dresses burning for me Every face in pain Every laugh is lurching toward me Shaking in the rain Why can’t I go home It’s wired for sound Why can’t I go home where all my pretty things are waiting for me Sore eyes for pretty possessions

GLASS EYES 03:24
My blood is noise My glass jaw splinters Shrieking fax machines and printers Alarming screams at desperate sleepers Groaning engines are awaking To the sound of glass eyes breaking I can only look with glass eyes But I can never see through water I can look with fly’s eyes But all I ever see is spiders I can always look with glass eyes But all I do is blink and everything shatters Blood is noise My Glass eyes shatter But What does it mean And what does it matter Screaming glass and burning rubber What does it matter what glass eyes reflect When self and the mirror just disconnect What does it matter if all things shatter What does it matter if glass eyes shatter What if it matters that glass eyes shatter

SUBMERGED 03:34
Vulgar nature Base behavior Loud color Loud pattern Violence in fashion Swollen temper Swollen tongue Swollen member Tasteless trappings Shameful tremor Ugly drapes Vile highlights Indecent nightlife Vulgar nature A story in the cadence of smut A poem in the language of noise (the language of flesh) A joke in pink caskets (pink cascades) A vision of hope in blasted cabinets I think I may have hurt someone last night (myself) I think i may have crashed the car last night (the stars) I think i may have talked to god last night But I can’t remember what he said (she said) Test pattern Soft focus Soft features Blue movies Blue lips

Cars without headlights A daze without reveille A negative dance In upside down jubilee Severance exalted Countenance blasted Appearing delighted In the embrace of dred What’s on the inside Guts on the table Skin that can laugh With no questions asked Wearing his art like a mask Mixed features Mixed futures Strange creatures Odd features Bemused and placid As if horror never fasted Before taking a meal Men on the doorstep Painted in shadow Infantilized visage Vacant perfection Smearing the godhead Coughing up diamonds Utterly flawless Left on the doorstep A warning to stay inside Mixed features Mixed futures Strange creatures Odd features Bemused and placid As if horror never fasted Before taking a meal

CORRUPTABLE 03:33

Crash me in your speeding car Did I say that or did you One of us gets an ugly bullet The other gets the morning dew Did I say hit me Did I say burn me Take my breath away Take me to the alleyway And break me Did I say gag me Did I say break me Or did you Did you break me Or did I hit my head Did I tie you to a bedpost Or just a burning bed CH Do whatever you want to me Did I say it or did you Do whatever you want to me Did I keep a faithful edge upon the razor Did the handle make its home along the lifeline in your palm Did you sign the dotted line Upon my throat Did I pray along Did I weep alone Did you scream so violent I was screaming I was violent I was violet On the eye slit in the seam Did I scream Did you say hurt me I said hurt me Do whatever you want to me One of us has got their ending The other woke from dreaming To the sound of their own screaming And never went to sleep again CH Do whatever you want to me Did I say it or did you Do whatever you want to me Did I keep a faithful shine upon the pistol Did the handle make its home Along the the dead end in your palm Did you shove the barrel down My throat Did I sing along Did I play along OUT Did you throw your coat into the river Scrub your hands until they bled Do I still want you, now I’m living Will you still love me, when I’m dead We are barely breathing I am only giving you the pen To write the final ending Do whatever you want to me, the end X ?

SAFE WORDS 03:58
11.
My name in bruises My name loses All form And descriptive sentiment My name in howling And trains And water stains Your name in arbitrary function Your name in dismantling Meaning in action My name in stop And all the ideas of stop And the draw of go The draw of blood Of blood to go My name Your name In wedding gowns And gagging sounds My name Your name Making choking sounds In each other’s mouths The vowels ground down To grunts and slurs To dirty words They are earmarked for this Named to be names for horrible things Never to describe Beauty to the eye But the thrill of a chase with a knife A caress and a gesture on ice A smile A slice of life in chocolate and crumbs A life in welts and song Sing along Your name And my name Are wrong My name in bruises My name in lights My name in your mouth Your name in mine Your name in oil paint My name in lines
