playing second fiddle at the green mill

Four weeks spent hearing that sound you make and missing your shape

I didn’t know I was until you told me you were missing mine

Filled the time in between learning to cut hair, hoping you’d ask me to cut yours

A late night call, a last ditch effort

The returning of a hat

Just like clockwork, your bed happened to be empty

I had a reason, what was yours?

What was yours?

Please just let me get close enough to whisper in your ear

There’s a sermon waiting behind these teeth

I’m just afraid someone will hear it

Your bed stayed empty

There’s more space for loneliness next to the stereo anyways 

But I think I had the wrong choreography when we danced in that room

The stereo, the organ, the typewriters, your hands

Kept at the length of the arm you got wrapped around your so-called commitment

I’m left with the memory of your grip on my locket

Don’t have to ask what she doesn’t give you

I read between the legs 

No one sticks around longer than they have to

Hurry and take what I can give you

No paybacks, no excuses

Because at the end of the night

When the sun shows the lines on your face

I lose what I thought I found in them

So please, just one more whiskey kiss before you rush me out the door

It’s 6am and I can’t stomach this room anymore

A strange portrait in this empty house haunted by music

heaven's bread

A billboard next to the expressway

Advertises its bread as heavens bread

The elm trees are overgrown

The paths in the field weren’t made by deer

The next billboard advertises girls

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be one of them

Cat eye in fishnets and as big as the sky

Kids file in one by one next to the river

Nate’s got the joyride lawn mower stuck again

They’ll drag it back up the river bank

Be home by 10

The sky weighs heavy and they’re in the baby pool with their clothes on again

One blunt for fifteen kids

Didn’t even throw in

Growing on empty only makes your hunger bigger

Throwing your shoulder out with pebbles at stained glass windows

But it’s alright, it’s alright

We’ll be eating heaven’s bread soon
