Skull Mask

you were uncomfortable to wear in the heat
but your smooth looks can't be beat
two holes where my eyes would be
where we ran, all the people would flee
worn by few, but embodied by one
through the night, we would run
people would try to get a glimpse of my face
but a rotting skull was in its place
3 years later you're torn in half
everyone looks at you, then they laugh
what have the elements have done to you?
if you had skin, by now, it'd be sickly blue
so farewell, my faithful costume
farewell my dear friend
someday my face will look like yours
when i, too, reach my inevitable end

Fence Vandal Song

trying to find you
wading through piles of leaves
they are sleeping in orange
we are young and green
lying in the center
i will shout your name
we'll meet by the concession stand
we'll never be the same
again
peek through the cornstalks
see those button eyes
the way he laughs with the birds
he'll keep us safe tonight
i'll lean into your jacket
i see your eyes so bright
i want to be your leather
i want to be your hide
carve my name in the fence
after the white paint has dried
see what the trees have to offer
after the wind has sighed
we'll stay here forever
with the ants and flies
make friends with the cornstalks
wave the birds goodbye

I Am A Spirit

i am a spirit in your mind
and i'll be with you all the time
that wretched body of mine
was a prison, i've done my time
i am a spirit in the sky
people crawl to me when they die
and when their lungs get ate by flies
they grab my shoulders screaming "why"
but i don't know why
trapped in your shrine in the woods
just like any good spirit is
i hoped you never would forget me
i want you to forget me now
there is no hope left for me
in my body deep beneath the sea
shadowy figures hold me close
i take your flesh as my host
i'm your ghost
trapped in your shrine in the woods
just like any good spirit is
i hoped you never would forget me
i want you to forget me now
it's hot down here in hell
as my brain melts, i wish you well
an eagle plucks my heart from my chest
only you can give me rest
trapped in your shrine in the woods
just like any good spirit is
i hoped you never would forget me
i want you to forget me now
please forget me now

a life spent in wooden places
where god inhabits all the spaces
our son was born in a garden of skin
and blood seeped through the floorboards
he's grown old now with only one arm
a lamb's gold tooth, his lucky charm
every day he wakes up and claws at the walls
but we won't let him out, we don't want him to fall
crawling within him was a family
bawling in his inner calamity
they exited their womb through a stomach tear
look in the kitchen bin, you can find them there
writhing, writhing, smiling all the while
why are you dying when they're thriving?
did you see no point in surviving?
