FOUR
Body like a pear and round under the ground
Swollen and cracked dirt fists whip your hair into knots, eyes deep in wells
Rigid but she fell into the ground
Up when i'm down, into the ground
Brings back my childhood frown
The winters were hard without you cold and white too bright for my eyes
I wish it was dark in the skies, you and a hundred...
Wanted to talk ,but I couldn't stay long
Got one letter since you've been better and I wish you well
I know you're under the ground. Gonna jack it up when you're down
Swollen and cracked dirt fists, with your eyes...
I hate to see the light shine inside your mouth
I know you that you want to scream and shout
I don't know what you were thinking, you and thousand..

A PRETTY GIRL
I didn't mean it. Sorry I was so... nevermind
I didn't even know you... I only talked to you because I had to.
You didn't have to give me ... I rung you up on a red letter day.
I folded the pages of my book. I've known this for awhile,
Well I mean, her voice was soft and her hands were worn.
A pretty girl in a sullen awkward kinda way.
I ran the rounds of time and twisted you into twine
A coin has 2 faces and no back.
You see the necklace tucked under the collar of her blouse.
She's smiling behind her eyelids. I can't tell if she's really glad.
Her mind is like a page, one side hand written.
In the street the moonlight shines (rises).
The bruises are just sweet reminders of the way it used to be
The way that I want it to be.

SWITCH
She looked at the stars, demon inside of her
Her mouth was shut, her hands were caught
It sounds so rude when I say take me home
I'm not a prude and you're not alone. You stared me down, up into a wall
I braced for the fall, then kept moving down the hall
I saw rubies in your eyes, little gemstone spies on my life
Go away, my head will split into or break my back whenever you're through
I wanted to see what you'd mean to me
Your mouth was shut, your hands were caught
I just want you to know you're not alone
Put that cigarette back into your mouth and let me hang when you go south

12:01
You smiled at me a crooked smile
I gave to you, a drunken friend
All I wanted--to be with you
I thought I might take a chance
I heard it playing in the background
It rang all the way to the back of my skull
Inevitable, unavoidable. You took me and then you left
I want you gone 12:01
I’ll stay here for the night
I was taking a chance on you. I feel it moving down my spine
I know the time will come around. I'll be there for you
Go car go. Down the highway and leave me in your wake
