Dig That Old Kat

Nothing to say
Everyone is so old
Let’s sit and cry
Cry about how I’ll miss you

All the words
Are wrinkled and used
Let’s sit and stare
Stare into the black space

All the digging
The hole is just right
Let’s sit on the edge
Jump in and I’ll cover you up

Miss You

Your words are trash
Bags of sticky soup cans and used tampons
Your words are junk
They stick in her hair
Of course

You made her a mess
Painted her with glue to blow in the wind
Everything sticks
Of course

Your words are trash
Bags of crusty paper towels and bloody tissues
Your words are junk
They stick to her face
Of course

Tag

She’ll be running when you catch her
Screaming and clawing at the dirt

The monster inside
Tears his way out
And she’s left to watch

She’ll be screaming and clawing when you catch her
She’ll be running for her life

Cloudy

So happy without you
Don’t really miss it
Cause we never saw it
We didn’t get there

So happy without you
Don’t even miss you
Cause there never were stars
We never saw them

Who would have told you?
It was better to hold tight
It was better to not fight
Who would have told you?

So happy you’re not here
Don’t know what to do now
Cause we never saw it
There never were stars

room

now there is more
of you
in my head

now there is more room
for you
in my head

i need to know
is it gloom
is it lonely
is it sadness
is it you

now there is more room
for you
in my head

is it really you
or you
tell me if it's you
really you

now there is more room
for you
in my head

Welcome

She is full of rain
And so cold
She makes trees die
Then taunts you with sunny
Can you stay?

She is full of twist
And so cruel
She makes limbs break
Then taunts you with sunny
Can you stay?

She is full of dark day
And so blue
She makes them all cry
Then taunts you with sunny
Can you stay?

Sorry she’s so twist

Everywhere

strong as rushing water
plunging from the falls
soars through air
turns to mist
and covers
me
cool and sweet
wherever i stand

Is that You

Where are you?
Just pain to hold
I look everywhere
eager light
Stole the stars
Put them in her apron

Where are you?
Just pain and bone
I look everywhere
the new day
Hides the stars
Put them in her purse

Where are you?
Just pain and cold
I look everywhere
morning sun
Swallowed the stars
Put them in her heart

Keep them for me



Sorry. I’ll keep searching

Go

Don’t kill me slow
Make it swift
One clean sweep
With a machete

Don’t kill me slow
Make it quick
Shot through the heart
Point blank

Don’t kill me slow
Cause I’ll kill you first
Swing a bat
Watch it burst

Don’t kill me slow
Just go

Sorry to be so demanding

Taking Your Time

She was skipping all the way
Kicking rocks and hunting bugs
Take the Long Way Home
All alone
Wandering feet

She was skipping all the way
Finding sticks to use as bats
Call Me the Breeze
Buzzing ears
Teases fear

She was skipping all the way
Looking for cloud-men with pirate patches
Early Morning Rain
Numbing pain
Covers heart

Sorry… should have called

Taking Her Time

She was running all the way
can’t stop
can’t play
can’t yak
can’t stay
She was running all the way

no hello
no goodbye
jets for feet
she can fly

She was running all the way
cant stop
not today
not now
maybe May?

She was running all the way
can’t wave
no sir
legs are turbo
what a blur

Her lungs are strong
they won’t leak
lungs are strong
she’s not weak
breathe deep

her lungs are strong
she’s not weak

She was running all the way
can’t stop
can’t pay
leave some change
another day

She was running all the way
can’t smile
can’t frown
keep the map
she knows around

Her heart is mighty
it won’t burst
heart is mighty
doesn’t thirst
beats on

heart so mighty

I’m not wrong



sorry ... I was wrong

Planet Boogie

I should have
Put more pink in all your sunsets
Painted blue in your gray storm clouds
Begged the rainbows to stay longer
Kept the moon where you could find it
Made the nighttime always peaceful
Let you fly in all your dreams

I should have
Filled your yard with tiny puppies
Let you hold the brand new babies
Blown the dust off all your sweet days
Sang a song that made you boogie

I could have
Took your fear and burned it
Tossed the embers to the sky
Filled the night with shiny planets

Because you love them

I love puppies too…I’m sorry

A Trip to Goodwill

Falls like rain
Shines like sun
Stars at night
A million bright
Such a light
You follow me
Your love’s free

When I’m ready
I get two bags full
Slink out of the shade
Ruby sun warms my skin
Stretch out I’m home

You love me as much or more than...
Elephants
Unpolluted water
Smell of Sage
Tree houses
Orange Pixie sticks
Fleetwood Mac’s greatest hits mix

I don’t ask for it
Work for it
Buy it
Beg it
Scream it
Stomp my feet for it
You just give it

I'm sorry about the tree house.

Restraining Order

Get out of my head
Stay out of my brain
Get out of my head
Stay over there

Way over there

Stepping over bodies
Is bringing me down
The floor’s all sticky
and smells like pennies
and liver

Get out of my head
Stay out of my brain
Get out of my head
Stay over there

Way over there

Read my lips

You smell...I'm sorry

We Were Dancing

shake shake shake
wake wake wake
i shook you

shake shake shake
quake quake quake
i shook you

shake shake shook
groove the hook
you threw up

I'm sorry... I thought you could dance

A Scream Away

when I run I run from you
when I hide I hide from you
when I shoot I shoot for you
when you scream I scream too

hold on to the nightmare
all i can see
hold on to the nightmare
all I can be

light the fuse
watch it go
turn the corner
and explode
Light the fuse
you fall down
You're on fire
I leave town

you didn't know
you couldn't see
begged me back
just for me

strung you up
turned around
slit your throat
not a sound

when you cry I cry too
turn the gun
aim at you
hold it straight
you won't die
hands are red
but you're alive

what’s the use in moving on
ever stuck
in what I’ve done

I’m sorry you're sorry I'm sorry
