bee stingers puncture my sleep
i run to grandma's bed sheets
she slaps my crying mouth
teach me silent prayer now
proud, a father's supposed to be
here, he drives drunk–– kids backseat
he's forgotten so many vows
how could he still let me down
you don't have to lie
i don't want to try
anymore
you don't have to try
i don't want to lie
anymore
(you can fade through, you can stay safe in the walls)
the bee stings my eye
and he stains our whole lives

"come on now
do this for me"
her boiled legs
stain my sheets
i say no
she says please
"a long time ago
you comforted me"
rubbing my
fingers down her spine
her eyes roll back
she lets out an airy sigh
whining and whining
waiting for me

Day of Decay

day of decay
claimed my father's head
the sacred bond he missed
now grandpa's crusty lips
day of decay
stole my momma's legs
he left in the fall
kiddie fingers hold

i can't make
myself stop
wishing your
belly grow and pop
laying in
the parking lot
i can't give you what you want
i can't make
myself stop
you look down
and i crawl on top
i'm just a boy
with a tv brain
and i can't hide the stain
i knew it was so wrong
but sofia laughed hard
i feel hm breathe
down my neck
both our bodies
become cement
blowing smoke
you say goodbye
and i lay in the lamplight
i knew it was so wrong but sofia laughed hard
think of your sister
now and again

Hide

waiting
just say something
sleeping
i hear you laughing
walking
i'm far ahead
looking
river seems dead
staring
bottles on the sill
listening
your guitar is de tuned still
i'm wishing
we had something real
i'm leaving
your cloudy eyes can't hide what you feel
you can't hide
from me

Choke

(Choke)
hold your tongue
and listen to mine
i've shed my face
my new disguise is clear
bite these lips
and feel them bleed
a pillow flower
blooms through these old sheets
but the fear comes back
i'm anaphylactic now
but i will see a forest grow
cause when the bees save us, love
it will be botanical
one day they may save us, love
but for now i choke
(Son)
and in my mind
i know that you're coming back
but in my eyes
i just see you leaving
and in my mind
i feel that you're coming back
but in my heart
i just feel you leaving
and in my mind
i know that you're coming back
but in my eyes
i just see you leaving
and in my mind
i know that you're coming
