ALL IN DUE TIME, YOU WILL LOSE FRIENDS
SO PACE YOURSELF FOR THE BITTER END
DO WHAT YOU CAN TO GIVE THIS WORTH
IT’S SO EASY TO GET CAUGHT
IN THE DIRT AND GRAVEL, GRASS AND DITCH
THE SMOOTHEST BLACKTOP ROADS
PUSH SLOW
THAT’S MAINTENANCE, NOT LIVING
AND YOU CAN’T BE FORGIVEN
FOR SINS THAT YOU NEVER COMMIT
CAN’T WE AGREE IT’S ALL BULLSHIT?
YOU’RE TIRED, BUT DRIVEN
PROBABLY DIE BEFORE YOU GIVE IN
AND AFTER ALL, IT IS WHAT IT IS

THERE’S A CHAIR ON THE WAY
THAT’LL WHEEL YOU DOWNSTAIRS TO YOUR MRI
HAVE YOU HAD ANYTHING TO EAT TODAY?
WHAT’S GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND?
WHAT EVIL WILL THEY FIND LURKING IN YOUR GUTS?
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?
YES, SHE WORKED ON THIS FLOOR
AND SHE JUMPED FROM THAT BRIDGE
DO YOU ENJOY THE VIEW OF THE RIVER FROM YOUR ROOM?
IS IT WORSE THAN YOU THINK?
SHOULD YOU GO GET A DRINK WHEN YOU ARE DISCHARGED?
DISREGARD THE DOCTOR
DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW?
HOW TO MAKE IT AROUND?
WITHOUT THE CRUTCHES YOU’VE BEEN HOBBLING ON FOR SO LONG?
THE PARALLELS WERE THERE
STILL NO ONE SAW IT COMING
AS WATER REPLACED AIR
STILL SOMEHOW STRANGELY FREEING

SHE WALKS WITH A CHEMICAL CONFIDENCE
IT’S PAYDAY, SO SHE TAKES A LEFT
AT THE HOUSE WITH THE BROKEN FENCE
SHAYNA’S GOT A HUSBAND AND SHE’S GOT FOUR KIDS
BUT THE KIDS ARE TOO MUCH WORK
AND HER HUSBAND LIKE TO HIT
CHESTER SITS ON HIS PORCH, DRINKS HEINEKENS ALL DAY
CARS PULL UP, THEY EXCHANGE
THEN THEY DRIVE AWAY
AFGHANISTAN, HE SAYS, IS WHERE HE LOST HIS SOUL
NOW THE EXCESS TAKES HIS BODY SLOWLY
WE ALL PREFER A WORLD THAT WE CONTROL
SOMETHING THAT IS VICERAL
WE ALL PREFER A WORLD THAT WE CONTROL
SO WE MAKE IT OURSELVES
HE’LL LEAVE THE BOTTLES OUT IN ROWS
SET UP JUST LIKE DOMINOES
AND IN THE MORNING, WHEN HE’S DONE
THEY’LL SHIMMER IN THE RISING SUN
