about

This was improvised on the spot.

lyrics

Greater city, greater Portland
Just basics you need
Small stacks of stickers
Two packets open
I tried to call them
Or maybe I did in my head?
Lacking in descriptors

Dents in the metallic
Guardrail holder
You never know, you never know
Standard grade
Miserable cuntrag
In a little book
Fingerprint ink is found in your drawers, plus lotion, what have you been doing?
I’m sorry
I can’t give, this makes me laugh

Do you like it?
I’m being frank
Death Row’s sweat control
Talk about some forced entries
Puff, puff, puff this muff well
Fumes! Honey!
Sensational, well done

I don’t use pencils very often
Trim those nails
Well, play dumb!
Everything’s so forced
When you watch it over my face is too real
Poet!
I assume the look of shame
You can’t say that so writer helps
I’m never going to want to retrace my steps, just quicken up move forward
What is it with the Brits and speed?
Mark E., Johnny R., A. Partridge?
Just curious

Grit lead
Nail clippings are turning inward at last
Blood doesn’t come, but it collects
My rings are swollen
Beaten down; the pink sides of my feet
All fresh looking
Fingers would be the same, if covered in the cold
My skies are ribbons
Can’t take a ribbing
That’s just not healthy, why step outside?

Full throttle powerhouse rhythm
Almost pinprick guitar
Airbrushing everything away
Silence collects in hearts
