everything you do

you know you do it wrong

from the way you play

to how you sing this song

you fuck it up completely

you fuck it up so neatly

we knew it was you

all along

and everything you do

you know you do it wrong

all the plans you made

once you heard the call

all the plans you laid

you forgot them all

you do it all the time

you do it by design

all the plans you laid

you forgot them all

toast

Broken bartender
I'm on a bender
I won't get over it soon.
Pour me a lot,
pour me a shot,
I am a broken balloon.
The devil has spoken
the devil's not joking
the devil has asked for his due.

3/11/14

The cold of this winter
like death's babysitter
the wind that traces your bones.
A broken blowdryer
both hands in the fire
valentine's day spent alone.

All through December
and half of November
the sash rat-rattled and moaned.
Six nights a week
watching t.v.
a seventh night
watching your phone.

The cold of this winter like death's babysitter
the wind that traces your bones.

found song

this is your brother
this is your son
this is who I am
and what I've done.
you read in the papers
you saw on t.v.
but never imagined
that person was me
I want you to know
whatever you think
I love you all
I love everything.
all of the promise
and all of the gifts
all that I've squandered
as long as I've lived
I offer to Jesus
and hope that He's real
to suck all the sorrow
I've made you feel.
but there was a moment
when I was a boy
when I was your apple
I was your joy
we could just freeze it
just pause the tape
dwell on that moment
think of that day
I want you to know
whatever you think
I love you all
I love everything.
