I'll be the slime on the backs of your teeth I'll be the cuts on the soles of your feet I'll be the knife worn through your sheath I'll be the dry rot at the base of the trees I'll be the bloodstains in your sheets I'll be the aphids in your wheat I am the scabs on the soles of your feet I am the cuts in the gaps of your teeth I'm spitting blood, these swollen gums are getting softer. I'm spitting blood, pools in my hands lands near my feet.

I hear the snow Let it bury, leave us stuck in this hole We light a fire We burn away the dust I feel the rain Pull us further apart I'm gonna light some fires I'll burn away the dust

What's with all those things you said to me? I know you've never pulled a punch. And why is everything I say - so wrong What's with all those things that made you sad? You know you thought them on a hunch. I don't believe the things you told yourself. But what if all we are is faking it? Not "What if" I think the same and what I'm saying is you've done me wrong and I'm just blaming you to blame. Yes I'm just blaming you to blame. And so that punch I've never thrown so hard I guess I do that in my sleep And so that punch I've never thrown at all It's just a quiet thing to think A subtle slip and then I'm gone to you And I thought I played your game. But I know I climbed from innocence And I'm just blaming you to blame.

Truck Again 02:10
Living in my truck again feeling's not setting in, oh no. Found a yard yeah I found a friend Found a place I can leave my bed for now. You're dealing with a broken heart A place you've been at since the start, oh no You're looking for a bug to catch Looking for something to latch onto. You spent some time out on the road Said that you were never coming home. But the nights they got too long. You moved back in and now you feel so wrong. It all felt wrong. So what when my truck breaks down? Do I stay or do I skip to other towns? Living in my truck again.

Hey Girl I think you're one step ahead now Hey person I think you took a bus instead of staying while I'm waiting by the bed now Not saying where I'd rather be instead And for the second time this week I've had to masturbate in bathrooms and for the second time this week you know those bathrooms weren't mine And for the seventh time this week I've had to wait up like I used to and for the seventh time this week I think it's just stagnant time. Hey Chica I guess I saw you in the mountain Hey person I guess we made out in that church. Ancient ruins, but the damage wasn't permanent because you went ahead and caught that bus a day ahead of mine. For the third time.

Leave Here 01:36
I'm gonna leave here - disrupt the order There's been a power surge at that god forsaken border I see the light house, watch it burning stronger Have to look to it for coast line no longer Sorrow in my cheeks, feel them burning hotter Gonna leave this knotted gut head for the water It'll be the death of me - slight inclination I'll stand and stare down, retract that information. Gonna burn the bridge, gonna saw the ropes forget about it. I'll have to learn to cope.

I'll learn to cope.
