The Loss Leader
The loss leader
I'm filing these outcomes
In alphabetical order
To appreciate these moments
After they've been forgotten
I'll hold onto the smell
After the faded photo
Fails to evoke what you had in mind
And what was agreed upon
There'll be no new notes to make
Across a torn border
No reminders needed about
How far we've come
We know in our blood
How much further
We ...

You Little American
You Little American
Foreign policy decisions
In the dessert order
Racism apparent in
Choice of flavors
History of oppression
In the name of your team
Conscience of a colonizer
Evidenced by your sneeze
Making love like
A clumsy army
Small talk in a scene
From a hulu series
Choosing friends based
On their utility
Vacationing like
An olympic team
And you tell me
Ha...

The Next Assignment
The Next Assignment
The names will be different
The faces the same
There'll be a desk with a printer
And a lot of people in pain
You'll share the laughter
You'll cry over your check
Mondays will still be Monday
You'll have the weekend
And those thoughts in your head
Those terrible thoughts in your head

Ex-Introverts
Ex-introverts
Lot of explaining to do
Lot of catching up
Now that they've gotten
A taste of who they are
There's a world to celebrate
Every hidden flaw
A net full of people
To explore meaning through
If they weren't abused as a child
They will be as an adult

Pyromaniacs on the event horizon
Pyromaniacs on the event horizon
I'd give you fire if you could use it
We could burn trouble for a while
Take you to the room full of secrets
Make love to you just for a smile
I've spent my life entirely naked
Wearing arms around my chest
Sending flares to the event horizon
Asking for a little help
Rescuers come in uniform
Blankets and trucks make a mess
Never waiting for th...

Pace
Pace
Make it faster
Don't think about it
Want to see the ground
Blur under my feet
We know it can't last
Drive me harder
There'll be a pain
To remember at least
All those faces,
Those lives
Full of
Unexplored feelings
When accelerated
You get
A nice design of
Colors and screams

Dirty
Dirty
It's dirty everywhere
It's filthy
the smell
I don't think will leave
You should see yourself
You should see me
Our composures left
Before we could
There's no alternative
No experts
We need to start to dig
With our fingernails
It's inevitable
We could feel it
We stuck around
Out of fear and habit

Our Best Guest
These appetites fall on a spectrum
From the base to the obscure
Leaving us in the middle
Hungry and insecure
You dive to the right
I fall to the left
Something aligns behind our eyes
At best, it's a guess
At one thousand miles an hour
The planet spins
Our bodies both moving and inert
Take the hits
Into the middle of the spectrum

Every Chance
Today was desperate
Tomorrow's out of your grasp
Give it everything you got
Every chance is your last
Memorizing pieces of plot
Don't help the act
Curtain comes down
On your sleight of hand
If you could change anything
You'd ask for a cigarette and a mask
Is that a second-line you hear
Every chance is your last
The girl appear...

My Guardian Angle
They put me in a shape that didn't fit
I'm not out of shape; just out of it
Hit me once just to try it
It was a hit so they milked it
We go from indifference
To bursting at the seams
A glitch of biology
Without meaning
Start the discussion
About the shape of the room
The emotional repercussions
Of all those angles
Cornering me a...

The People Adventure
Oh! the people
You'll meet
Who will go
Through you
What'll stick
Who'll leave
Monuments
Under surfaces
It's a wonderful
Thing she says
To no one
In particular
While looking
For an actor
To fit the costume
She keeps
In the back
Of her closet

Others
Others
We dedicate our lives to others
In an uneasy truce
Helping them in our thoughts
They respond by giving us work
And we ask for more
And they ask for more
An escalation
Without pause
Everything's gone
Dangerous and beautiful
We're left trying to remember
How everything worked
