Bone To Pick

you were in my dream but you weren't alive
you don't know who I am
you don't know
mistook me for a dog
I bit your hand to wake up
I woke up to everyone
they couldn't see
they couldn't see my time I'd spent in cloudy mess
in dreams you're all I can taste
it doesn't feel so good
it doesn't feel so good
can you come smile this time
can you come smile this time

Pretty Today

all the fur you grow
takes its course to be known
your grip's so strong
when you say hello
make my teeth feel small
claws retract and dull
there's nowhere to hide
since your shelter's mine
don't swallow rocks today
they won't dissolve in me
just soften as I freeze
I gulp them down to breathe
friends you boast
lie in your perspective
hung in frames on walls
to conceal your flaws
lace my blood with paint
adopt a fuzzy brain
I'm just someone else
you desire to claim
don't swallow rocks today
they won't dissolve in me
just soften as I freeze
absorbed in false belief
hereditary hate
so I gulp them down to breathe

Snail S(h)ell

little crab
crushed all of your shells
I think you noticed
saw you crawl away
didn't mean to tear off all your claws
didn't want to fall into your cave
tiny snail don't eat the salt in me
I found you worried
and made your tiny day
carry your shell
slows down all my speed
fits with my hell
I never play for keeps
but I can wait awhile
as you regenerate
dress a doll to smile
squint to see her frown
did you change your mind
I'm bait until I'm real
sink your hook I'm trying
swim to see you free
looks like me

rope burns boast our stubborn yearns
but you might beg to differ
erode my self to nothing
it's nothing
thorns poke through my compass rose
scopes our magnet pulse
tugs no heart of yours
still I pull
draw force
keep score
sip more
too much for myself
yet someone else
wind myself up
straight to the sun
straight to the sun

Shit Apple

seemed like a sturdy branch
used all the strength I knew
we climb til you bring us down
anticipate my fall
hide your roots to grow your noose
your spoiled apples burn my mouth
glass half empty with your doubt
I squeezed it full don't pour it out
you take your time your way
won't give your stems a break
I pulled all the weeds you hate
still cut down the smiles I fake
hide your roots to grow your noose
your spoiled apples burn my mouth
glass half empty with your doubt
I squeezed it full don't pour it out
who am I to say to me
I'll never add up to your seeds
kill the day filled silent crime
I can't remember can't remember
how to shine
