time waits for no man i wait for moments that will bring me back to those untarnished days moments of sunlight weekdays in short sleeves where those i love surround me all the time now i see the moon rise before the sun can even finish her lines i see people believe me when i say that i’m doing fine i see green turn brown in my hometown leaving me with one thing to say oh won’t you please come back to me silvergreen can’t stop the steamroll can’t live in hindsight but when i look in the mirror i know they’re closer than they appear i see a birch tree my old dog beside me and a weariness that took many years to earn i see a new house new job new car new clothes and new friends i see nothing i want more than anything i had back then i see climbing trees get sawed into pieces my fingers dug into the ground and i plead come back to me silvergreen oh silvergreen

We're Dreaming

a daily palette of lush to sparse dots our vision tailored to be hard to swallow for most you must be stagnant and hardy as sage just to get through the winter i’ll say one big prayer and call it good for the year that you’d have a hand that holds on not just to me but to everything else that i’d have a plan and feet planted firmly on the ground we’re dreaming now you’re dreaming like i’m dreaming we’ll go out and we will walk in swinging we’re hapless helpless has-beens fearless free as kittens and firewood we’re dreaming now you’re dreaming like i’m dreaming we’re like clay that was dropped on the way to the kiln not shattered or cracked but with one big dent from the earth we work our whole lives to smooth out the surface just to be tossed in the flames at the very last pass like a fucking masterpiece

we could hang out at your house ‘cause we hung out at mine last time it doesn’t really matter where as long as it’s soon then i’ll be fine we could mess around outside or play computer games in total darkness it doesn’t really matter what we do as long as what i’m doing is in the same room as you and the days are flying i don’t care as long as i can be here with my friend with my friend long as i have some time with friend with my friend your sister’s really annoying your brother won’t let us have a turn let’s think of ways to destroy them let’s go the park and sunburned we could sit and make comics and ask your parents to order food it doesn’t really matter what we do as long as the time i waste is wasted all with you

Harvestmen

we’ve had a marvelous run last a day too long hand fixed to hilt after all the blood spilled we’ve dug a permanent rut in his infinite knowledge he didn’t know when to fold ‘em homicide and genocide regicide after regicide now we’re too far gone but i have a plan my brethren they will march and they will swarm and they will take us in everything ‘til now will soon not matter we’ll sustain our own demise but make it faster i’ve employed the harvestmen they will be the scourge if god loved us he’d give them wings to purify the earth i diagnose by the symptoms a world that’s totally sick the truly good get punished the worst offenders get crowned and everyone else just hangs around and around and some say we’ve come so far they say there’s still room to grow but you gotta know we’ve seen everything in a thousand years still everything as it was a thousand years ago there is evil unspeakable evil in our hearts and in our glands in our minds and all their plans if not now then how much longer can we stand to see them suffer with a blind eye from our father

i know it’s time for leaving been feeling it’s far too binding so when they try to find me pretend that you never knew me see what i’m seeing the way they drift across the sky i can’t squander the opportunity but you just ask me why i resolve to remember i concede just to keep in mind my life on land but what’s at hand will disappear as i depart from here everything that haunts me everything that stops me everyone who holds me you forever own me sleep little pretty i’m far past the power lines with no plan for tomorrow with neither ground nor end in sight i have made big decisions i’ve made my chair and i will sleep in it sleep in it straight up to space i i will erase everything that haunts me everything that stops me everyone who holds me you forever own me everything wants my money everything wants my health everyone needs a reason for me to enjoy myself i can’t begin to think of a place i would rather be than up in the sky reclining from now on i’m cluster ballooning

may vengeful hands falter whenever they’re near to your throat may one final thread sustain the very last tug on your rope may your loved ones surround you and desert you when it matters most may you see the day that every bad seed you’ve sown ceases to grow your fate will be met when you begin to forget the destruction you saw to and the carnage you’ve left we scream to the sky “break the levee raise the blade” may all of you bastards drown in the detritus you made may all of you bastards drown in the detritus you made may the decent and the pious evolve into weaponized hate may your heart keep on beating as it reaches its maximum rate may your view be unobscured as you watch your world disintegrate may the angels stare in apathy as you squeal and you pry at the gate

hello traitor i hope you’re happy you found a love that you swore off a giant heart living off the cuff you broke bread and traded hangnails drained the lake of mysteries bottled it up and drank it down with ease seven years another traitor seven years another face your own reflection it gave way to everything that whittled you to this everyday another stranger never cared to wonder how you can taste it but you’re far far beyond it now
