I thought I would never fit in my own body
My face and heart can be driven steel
Thick skin was never my mission but
One I feigned, until it looked real
But I’m made of milk
And I am melted still
But I don’t think
I’m too spoiled to enjoy
Don’t be so depressing
This can’t all be so pressing
I told myself
I’m lighting my own fires
And to you this might seem minor
As I watch them glow
I thought I would never fit in my own body

Fate has a funny way of showing up
I didn’t invite her where did she come from?
She kicked me out of the rodeo
It wasn’t my first time
I was just too slow
Western dream in my mind’s silver screen
Oh, I am King, why don’t you listen to me?
I’m a bad director, this is not news
I just need a new vision
And a sweeter muse
But all I ever wanted was to be
A normal person at the party
So I’ll wait for my dream life in my head
Smiling with a cigarette
Holding my breath inside my chest
Pretending that I’m alright
What is my body
without the spoon of your spine?
How do we keep getting up
For life on time?
Where are your cosmos at the moment?
I try to change mine to fill my inner void
Baby, please give me away
I’m talkin’ hung up to dry
Like a flower in decay
And you can display me
Like a decoration on your wall
That you’ll get sick of and then
Put in a box with your other shit
You’re moving down the block

Blood

I want a finger in every cake
I’ll be ready for takeoff in an empty plane
What’s worse getting burned or
Holding the flame?
Moving closer to disgrace every time
They say I’m doing great
Super blue blood moon
In January you showed your toothy smile
It cut my cloudy veins
First blue then red
Like my first birthday
My mother’s narcotic tongue
Is taking years to heal
She’s not the only
Well I quit my drowning
Almost three years ago
I couldn’t float anymore
Just trudge the endless road
Captain Morgan was the ruler of my bow
He told me what to do and
I followed suit like a good little sailor
Toilet water tears showed me my
True Reflection
My own skeleton in a skin prison
I’m not responsible for what’s in my blood
I’m not responsible for how I’m made up
Come on love, give me eyes
I’ll give you one last show—
I’ve gotta keep the curtain closed
‘Cause I think I’ve run out of refunds.

Listen to my mouth
Can you hear my shallow empathy?
Listen to my arrows falling
On the beaches of Serenity
I was shaken awake in ‘93
Finding lovers, and comforts, and enemies
But a leather-clad angel speaks to me
In my dreams she’s pulling me
How do you know?
How do you sleep?
How do you run things?
Who do you keep?
Danny boy, oh, Danny boy
I’m starting to sound like a rabid dog
Like you said I would with your Scorpio mouth
I’m starting to act like a rabid dog, did you plan it out?
I was the cargo you didn’t ask to unload
I’m starting to forget the fragile nature of boxes
Open me, I’m ready to get out of transit—
Maybe a different recipient was the right call
All along, oh—
Promise me, you’ll be okay with the gift I am givin’
Underneath the ribbons of my crafted skin
I’ve spent a lot of time wrapping it up
Danny boy, oh Danny boy
I’m starting to sound like a rabid dog
Did you plan it out?
Stick my neck out and I get cut
I’m starting to see the blood
On the ground
Is from my own knife
Stick my neck out and I get cut
I’m starting to see the blood
On the ground
Is from my own knife

If you leave your home
Will you wish you hadn’t?
When you’re on your own
You will wish you hadn’t
When you sleep at night
Will you wish you weren’t?
In the orange light
You will wish you weren’t
But God bless my Captain’s Eyes
Away he takes me
It’s not worth asking why
We’re nowhere safely
And when the passion’s gone
Will you find another?
When you wanna die
Will you find another?
In the orange light
Will you live completely?
Trapped inside my eye
You will live completely
It’s not a question why
You know so I see
And in the orange light
The men grow sickly
And when the blood runs dry
Will you find it easy?
When I look inside
I don’t find it easy
It’s no surprise
There are things above me
And when I start to cry, I’ll find it easy
