gotta move it's catching up i don't want to run no more I can see it's feet through the cracks underneath the door it's moving back and forth and the light scatters on the floor i don't want to run no more it's coming in, i'm standing still i can feel it's breath on my neck, if i move it could get me killed i don't want to run no more i don't wanna hide no more i could stay here and fight, but what if i lose? i could run but it's faster, it will always find me there's no safe place, nowhere to go what if it catches up with me? what if i get exposed? i don't wanna run no more i don't wanna hide no more

Mary Jane 05:41
Girl i knew lived in a tree Tried to save the forest from the logging company Soon as she came down that was all just history She held a crystal near her heart She said that it needed to be charged Now I keep it on my dashboard for luck The joy and the love that you gave me I couldn’t carry it home I spread it around but I didn’t write down The location, now it’s gone She mixed up acid in the bathroom sink Her brilliant mind just melted when she took a drink Haven’t seen her in a while, she got exiled now she’s back from the brink In a Dead parking lot look out for parasites Score a little molly and stay up all night Trying to get to that next level of fucked up, reach the highest heights All the promises of midnight Were lost in the moment we crashed Pick up the scattered broken pieces Carry them outside with the trash I went to your mother’s house the other night She was playing records crying into a glass of red wine When the party turns to darkness gotta try to switch on another light The man who said he loved her so tenderly Wouldn’t leave his wife and his family He left us here alone Joni Mitchell, Mary Jane and me Baby bunny in a shoe box, Just couldn’t keep it alive Buried out back, marked the grave with a wooden cross Couple feet from the property line

Kick Today 05:29
I spent the night walking around town in the dark You see all the things you miss from a car Cigarette butts and styrofoam cups Outline the edges of the roundabout I wondered if you’re the one that threw them out I stole the gnome from your front lawn And i’ll steal this too doo de doo Get real high today and kick tomorrow We’re all gonna die so why bother Throw all of your trash out onto the side of the goddamn road Make your mark upon the world forever I like the pictures that you draw in your language I saved the one for edible chrysanthemum I showed it to the clerk but she said they didn’t have it Now i’ll never know what that soup’s supposed to taste like Like MacArthur park when he couldn’t bake that cake right I stole that idea from an old song And I’ll take this too doo de doo Kick today, you may not see another When I’m with you I want to live forever Someone grab that cake and bring it in out of the rain Nah, fuck it, leave it out, whatever

Maria Luisa 03:18
This feeder creek is 2 inches deep and the volume swells Maria’s burning sage, you’re chanting magic spells Camp robbers flying round us singing songs feels like we’re riding on a carousel With depth beyond perception, a silent lake Where there’s twinkling stars, dancing bears, geometric shapes You can’t describe the feeling but it comes back when you listen to the tapes A medal of St. Christopher around my neck so i didn’t drown Hydrilla like little green fingers holding me up and pulling me down On the western side of Kansas in a petting zoo The prairie dogs, 6 legged cow, and the morning dew (walk me out) She was trying to find herself, I was trying to find her too She handed me a pamphlet on anarchy Mixed ginger and lemon in the paraguayan tea Thinking about changing her major to ethnomusicology A Thai Buddhist Amulet below my waist, so it didn’t count Made a wish with some chalk on the sidewalk, the rain washed it out

Giving Tree 01:09
Not much to see the giving tree You ran off with a piece of me Just an old stump But you were happy and I’m glad that I could be there Now tell me about this self-care
