"Velcro"
She likes the boy who lives downstairs
She loves the way he combs his hair
And the way he sits out half the night and rocks out
Under the porch light
It’s not about his velcro shoes
It’s all about the way he moves
So she keeps her window open
And secretly she’s hoping
That he’ll run away with her
Draw the blinds, close your eyes
Convince yourself that it’s alright
Arms around her pillow
She’s trying hard to let go of this lonely friday night
"My Best Defense"
I’m thinking of something blue . . .
Much like the rain that washed away my final memory of you
We are gathered here today in celebration of impending fate
Let the jury have their way as callous knuckles cross my face
The stars are out . . .
Scattered dimples in a cloudless sky
And I remember all the flashing lights
And how they lit your lifeless eyes
And now the harbor’s sounding out and I am calling out:
No, please don’t push me in . . .
Oh no, please don’t push me in . . .
Dear friends,
I am writing this in my defense
I never meant for this to happen
I never saw the broken glass, I swear . . .
Zip-ties and fiber choking me
These ropes, biting at my feet
Eyes wandering, and I’m wondering:
Is this really happening to me
Blood between my teeth, slow from my mouth to my best Jeans
On three, release - I’m twenty feet and sinking fast
But I won’t hold my breath
Let the water fill my lungs and I will travel to my death
Tell my brothers that I am happy
Tell my mother I won’t be visiting
As I lay my head to rest at the bottom of the sea . . .
