Early one morning
With time to kill
I got in a car
Climbed a big hill
I watched the sun rise
Over the city I love
I do not wish to leave
I do not wish to leave
My father died in a flash
My grandmother is my greatest friend
I am the poison you flee
Living in songs and movies
You push me away
I am rats

Die Alone

Run through the city
Chasing the circus
Playing me love songs
You can barely speak
You always said that
You weren’t going anywhere
I don’t want to die alone
Run through the city
Chasing the circus
Playing me love songs
You can barely speak
I don’t want to die alone
And she said
I’m sorry I don’t have an answer for you

The woman with earth tones
Her very memories,etched into my skin
What if I die when I’m thirty
What if my wife dies
I come home and shes cold
What if we become missionaries
What If our kids are shot dead
I’d end up feeling like shit
Melancholy
These are the things in my head
Even the Son of Man
He died with no one to care
Even my father dies
He was surrounded by his best
I could never be like him
I don’t want to be like him
He was supposed to live forever
Melancholy
These are the things in my hea

I like the way
you were born in 1934
I like the way
that you raised us on fast food
I like the way
that the first time
I painted my nails black
You said get that shit off your hands
I like the way
that you adopted us
into your home
I like the way
you never called us
niggers at all
I like the way
we never talked when
you were watching the game
I like the way
when you were dying
you reached out to say
I love you
Same as the son
You look like the son

I'm Glad You Made It

Even saints dance in cancerous fear
Even queens they leave their kings
But theres no hard feelings
Its just what has to happen
Even friends they raise their fist in anger
Even me I lash out screaming
GOD you’re an asshole
But for some reason
You pull me through
Even years
they can be long
We can drown
In our minds
In our beds
Even you
Washed in spit and blood
You made it out
I’m glad you made it
