Unlearnings 01:18
i slept late while you left kept my eyes on the door but never saw you leave so i sat in the dark, freezing cold and shivering i never knew i would meet someone so careless wondering, shaking and unlearning your name don't come back drank my coffee alone kept the dust from the floor broke my plates in the yard won't see you anymore
2.
False Humor 00:29
you don't know that person you don't know their history abuse is not a punchline rape is not a joke you think you're funny you think this is wit you think you're clever but i think you're a piece of shit

Sunshowers 01:40
we grew the rhubarb high in spring the strays would nibble at the leaves i'd walk home foaming at the mouth from jumping cliffs and hopping trains you were drinking blood in the background it was so hot i could never sleep the cats would die from poisoning nathan would lick his bleeding lips and throw their bodies in the creek and the devil was beating his wife and the witches were braiding their hair and the animals were getting married and the rain was coming down

Chalk River 01:59
when we stopped we killed the engine we shook dust from our hair threw our bones from the car when we got out we threw stones at the church checked the windows, knew that we could sleep there from the pulpit we could see the half-light that thick glow from the reactor, blooming yeah we knew that we were dead and gone then hands together in chalk river, buried the pressure built towards us as the storm came you were glowing in the grey the storm, it made the highway crack and break you held my hair, i dug our graves all our lives we both imagined we'd live by the lakeside with the dark rocks plunging into dark and undisturbed black water growing old and picking sage in springtime

In The Woods 00:27
give my body to the water scrape my insides clean of hunger spent the solstice in the woods stumbling the evening through touched my lips against the bark watched the moon tear me apart heat comes in from the lake swallowing hunger pain
6.
Gaslight 01:04
i'm not offended, i'm fucking scared because behind your slurs is belief truly archaic it's not as if you were honest and i know i have to watch my mouth now but i shouldn't have to live with your guilt and i know that i called you out but i was trying to protect myself from you i will stand tall i will put out your gaslight

1998 01:36
and i thought my shoulders' red-brown burning was an honest way to mark summer's ending i waited by the porch of the old spanish church i picked at scabs on both my kneecaps tried and failed to make and fold maps of all the ghost towns that we forgot to visit i couldn't understand why you'd leave i wrote you a letter in hopes you'd stay there are things i watch pile in the gutter dead rabbits, plates, and dirty windows and i know that inside of me the same thing is happening so i wait for her beside the awning factory though she'll never come back to see me i bought a popsicle for her but i'll finish it myself i couldn't understand why you'd leave i wrote you a letter in hopes you'd stay my tongue a chlorine blue, the sky gold like something else

Blow 00:46
please keep telling me about your coffee fair trade, sustainable, environmentally friendly then go to some rich kids party and do coke with your fucking friends you care more about getting high than the deaths of over one million latin americans fuck you
9.
Malignancy 01:21
i stand up, look behind me i see red, and i get scared i know my family has a history i've heard stories of him living in misery and i don't want to be him living out of bags
10.
Sell Out 02:26
just because i work for a goddamned corporation does not really mean that i'm pro-exploitation it's lovely that you have the chance to be selective but i'm done justifying my methods for survival i'm fine with 'selling out' to the cycle of consumption if it's the only way to keep my head above the water sell out
11.
take my teeth then i'll sleep
