I feel as though I could tear you apart paperman
skin of leather dark like my drink
and I would love to watch you unwind being born from thousands of paper cranes
when the wind blows you travel
stop for each one,
woman and child feeling heavy breathing behind your back
and I feel I want to tear you apart and watch you bleed letters and words again
when the wind blows you travel
soaring through the air as airplanes
falling down just to say hello to all those pretty faces dressed in gold
when the wind blows you travel

there must be turbines out here, an old man is blowing the leaves with a stubborn must
and I ask myself "do they have a destination, will they be caught in a jet lag...oh I don't know"
now the shadows are of the trees are cast upon the dark buildings across my stoop, where I smoke my last
and it's branches are waving at me trying, oh so trying to overt my eyes from the gray crackling ground
the burnt pieces of newspaper is what they are to me and that's what they'll be to you when I'm through with you
turned browns and yellows, reds and a bit of orange
you know all those leaves will soon fall and fade just like your face when it snows, when it snows

on a carousel the days spin as one
perched upon this decorated steed am I
and I tell you good sir you look exactly like me
so won't you saddle up and ride my horse
take my place you awful hearted man
and hold the reins ever so tightly
take this it might be boring
I'm sure you will be fine
but then again I'm sure you'll say "I am so goddamn tired of being you"
"I am so goddamn tired of being you"
"I am so strung out from being you"
I want you to ride that horse you awful man

grandma

they came out from under the ground
white porcelain faces, a husband and wife
soon a mother and father
the son came out from under the ground
being born from two colored tears
growling as dogs
you crazy child
I grew a grandma from the dirt in my bed
only she wouldn't rub my face in orange
only she wouldn't shake me to finish meals
oh grandma save this home

bastard silverware

the silverware, shiny diamonds and gems
they're calling your name
exotic prints presenting handles, a rare mischievous find
piles of brothers, piles of sisters, parents too
they're calling your name
heads and spikes sharp fingers grace me
crusty with sass from our previous meal
all together at the bottom of the kitchen
occurrences with that heat dwelling
run to your room before I stab you with one, the bastard silverware is such a bother
filing under color and race, folding them together
a tempting alliance, such an annoyance to the scribes
I will be off soon to return the ware
and that can't be more pleasant
they're calling your name
heads and spikes sharp fingers grace me
crusty with sass from our previous meal
all together at the bottom of the kitchen
of the kitchen
