just like my friend rem said
slimy vapid people
laughing, knee-slapping
slap-happy, really
sweaty handshakes
smug smiles
all of this dumb
sucks the air out of the room
yet it's full of
thumbs still standing
if the building burns
the tri-county area mourns
twenty years of
former prom kings
next county over the
ol' boys are concerned
they watch a country club crumble
see a golf course green overgrow
they know their status quo
is becoming questionable
but hey, they know a way
police pals need new homes
a side hustle
unconstrained by pesky uniforms
man the tax-funded tanks
mow that grass for god's sake
see the property line?
the other side's just more
land to take, make it mine
sorry fellas, i meant to say "ours"
grab a map, we'll put in bids
just like our grandpapas did

the brain is the grave
the mind is that cave (can't be saved)
i could remain in
if the shadows on the walls
weren't complaining
that i'm getting too dark
the heart is the gauge
the body a cage
that holds my ghost in
it wanders the halls, regretting
accepting the post in
a setting so stark
what our world loses
the true one regains
the true one retains
the true one reframes

there is relief in really knowing
the silent wait was worse
a month just was not normal
it was after two weeks when i worried
i already knew, i was being obtuse
though reality i could not refuse
to believe, i had to concede
but i needed to hear it from you
was any of this worth it?
i stopped searching so long ago
i dismissed all thought of consequences
every inevitability i know
it was years ago i realized
how horribly mistaken i had been
yet i still let pride override
what i have been hiding inside
i admit, you were a distant thought for a while
now there is a single fixture in my mind
i was finally finding my footing
the slow burn has set in, that heavy dread
fuck this head trip
quit the tricks (stop with the head trip)
can i stay steady?

(EM) recommends:
We were masters of our domain (a dirty garage), even if only for a single year. I have a lot of pride in what we were able to create in that short time. 2027 Reunion Tour?

I will always wish Wisher was still with us. These rough demos are all that live on.
go to album
My newest group, writing and recording with my greatest friend and youngest sibling. Our album is never-ending and always growing, so watch out for new tracks being added!
