Inside This Balloon
I was wrong when I first tried to describe her
Her blond hair looked red from the light of the fire
And you’re always looking for proof
Feels like fighting in a telephone booth
There were stars and the sound of the crickets conversing
For that moment I suddenly felt so deserving
And I’m sorry you seem so betrayed
We’re a product of choices we’ve made
There are times when it seems like I’m floating in space
Like a rat vacationing inside a maze
There’s the sound of the air as it’s sucked from the room
I’m a needle hovering inside this balloon
Feel my pulse as it beats a meandering tempo
You whisper that your head is about to explode
And there’s never a way to maneuver
As you tug at the strands of my sutures
See the light as a string that connects to the moon
Like a path to the faith I’ve already consumed
And I watch as you’re washing your hands
As the universe contracts and expands
There are times when I feel like I’m floating in space
Like a rat vacationing inside a maze
There’s the sound of the air as it’s sucked from the room
I’m a needle hovering inside this balloon

I Could Use Some Help
I stay up way too late laying on the couch
Watching stupid shows I don’t care about
And the moon is out there somewhere
Laying in my bed wishing I could sleep
Thinking all these thoughts I can’t really speak
The sky opens up outside
Help me hate myself
I could use some help
When the morning comes I stay in bed to long
Playing stupid games staring at my phone
The sun doesn’t give a shit
I can’t watch the news I get too depressed
How’d we end up here mired in this mess
And you are still so sick
Help me hate myself
I could use some help

Reckless Architect
I can’t believe the way god’s testing me
All the hurdles I stumble through
A reckless course growing worse
Try my hardest to stay true
You won me over with your reckless behavior
You wore me down with your foolin’ around
I can’t conceive that I’d be deserving
Of all the mess that comes my way
This winding path has taken me aback
Now I’m tangled in decay
You won me over with your reckless behavior
You wore me down with your foolin’ around
I watch the sparrows balance on a line
Marvel at the way they’ve been designed
You presuppose an architect so powerful and just
But he just hangs on high there in disgust
I flood the room with sunlight from the moon
Spread a wrinkled map out on the bed
Plot my escape from choices that I made
Excise the demons from my head

The City Eats Itself
They’re tearing down the neighbor’s house
And hauling it away
They built the thing in thirty-three
It’s gone in just a day
As I watch the workers in the
Bulldozers and trucks
I wonder where the line is
Where I should give a fuck
Every morning I watch as The city eats itself
I know the fat are hungry They can’t help themselves
They’re spraying down the rubble
To keep the dust in check
Asbestos oil and lead paint
All that you’d expect
Sometimes in the mornings
When I cough myself awake
I think about the circumstance
And choices I have made
When I walk to town I feel A stranger to this place
Watching people move around I just can’t relate
I know that you left just in time
I’m glad that you made it out alive
Walking through the cemetery
Reading all the names
Remembering the families
I wonder what remains
I think of all the changes
That happened since you left
I reach up for St. Christopher
Who dangles at my chest
I know the door is closing and I might never leave
Knowing that you’re out there somehow brings relief
