when i'm overgrown after dinner
he calls me to his throne, his little pet
when i start to whine around sunset
he sings like a bird, this small refrain
when we're playing catch
while we watch the clouds spinning
he feeds me sugar when i sleep
and when i'm down, my dreams are sweet
when i feel the rush, he's got a spoon
medicine, treats, an olive branch
when i'm bored with toys
had enough of the roughhouse boys' beating
he feeds me sugar when i sleep
and when i'm down, my dreams are sweet
he feeds me sugar

Saving My Candy

saving my candy for you
saving the good stuff, it's true
no bits of honey, no cheap caramels
a mound of pink sugar
we'll make a meal of it soon
gramps gave me an apple
his eyes began to twinkle
i threw it in the bushes for the snakes
linda gave me toothpaste
she's a dentist, can you blame her
i flung 'cross the room
right back at her face
saving my candy for you
saving the good stuff, it's true
no bits of honey, no cheap caramels
a mound of pink sugar
we'll make a meal of it soon
brad gave me a pen
he's just out of college
broke, alone, barely paying the bills
i shoved him to the floor
asked him where he hid the goods
i tied him to a pole
on the highway by the woods
saving my candy for you
we'll make a meal of it soon

Over/Again
03:20

over and over, again and again
i swear something's underneath
unlike the crimson swimming under me
wisdom from the obit page
memories all tossed away
sugar rush, conniption fit
certain stress, just say when
how i feel when i can't move
i patch up scars with cheap glue
over and over, again and again
i can feel it coming through
i swear something's underneath
it pulls apart till mid-morning
afraid of heights, afraid to fall
forgot where i parked my car
you are strong, you are tired
you read the news, big mistake
when i feel a sense of loss
i roll my head into knots
over and over, again and again
i can feel it coming through

Piece of Cake

PIECE OF CAKE
deep breath, piece of cake
this time is warped and selfish
strung out on scenes of regret
on action movie violence
a final moment's silence
this time is warped and selfish
strung out on meaty objects
the whines turn into riots
the fire smoke cloud spiral
deep breath, piece of cake
this time makes me a tourist
strung out on sidewalk star maps
on promises in zig zags
they're hidden deep in backpacks
this time makes me a tourist
strung out on peaceful protest
can't hear them from the bushes
another pilgrim's progress
deep breath, piece of cake

Tuesday

ran out of tomorrows
ran out of tears
ran out of memory
ran out of luck
ran out of ways to write this down
ran out of ways to speed this up
when you get to the other side
tap me on the shoulder twice
tell the birds to fly my way
with a hymn of paradise
singing to myself again
i've got nothing to believe in
