i've decided to bite myself
i've decided to itch my scratches
no one believes
in stories
until something dies
cars are on the highway
headlights passing through
and I want them to be the last thing I see
you don't believe
in stories
until something comes back
by the time you wake up
this is the story
you will have heard
this is the story you will know

I bought a rope
and you will discover that
I didn't leave a note
The air conditioner
makes me colder to the touch
but I won't come down
until you loosen it
until you touch your throat
The sun is shining
so now the heat will be
a monument
Pick up the chair
the music has stopped
circles left to chase
who knows a dead cat
until you report it

You take the box cutter
to your furrrrr
you watched the blood spill and splurge out the window
you slashed so hard
you saw your bones
they were as white
as catnip covered in cocaine
this could be the last memory
you maybe will shake off
till you creep back into the grave
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

Turn the car on
turn up the radio
garage door coming down real slow
your tail is twitching to the beat now
everything is going according to plan
eyes counting down the measures
how you measured yourself
you light a cigarette
a cherry on top
death on a sunday
turn up the volume louder
purr out of fear
let them all hear
the rueful noise
but they won't come for you
they just think you're in an argument
with someone
and like always they were right

Lightning Cat

When the rain comes down
I will catch it in the air
when the rain comes down
I will listen to my ears
who is sinning
when seeing energy
if there's a righteousness in this world
God will notice them
if there's a righteousness on the earth
the dead will dance again
the clouds closer
the lightning pouncing
striking the match
you are a fire
you are the disease
that comes with survivors
let the living
eat what's left

anything's a fence if you sit on it
anything's a bath if you bathe
anything's could keep me up here
anything's worth its weight
The full moon is full of cats
the next life near the edge
and tonight will bring a question
who's the one on the ledge
falling makes everything shrink
when memories forget your feet
wonder if falling is flying
staring over the brink
I guess anything is worth its weight
I guess anything could keep me up here
I guess anything I sing is a song
I guess I'm wrong, I guess I'm wrong
falling meow

Alcohol and Fire Cat

They say the worst day
is the morning after
the best time
to be out of character
drunk off some vodka
chase it down with cream
destroyed my cell phone
left the party with me
call me a poisoner
if you kill one person
its funny being litter
when you've buried all your shit
They say the best day
is when you're young
the worst time
to try and have fun
Turn on the oven goes
the heat comes on
lay down next to it
and bite my tongue
call me a loser
but it's all there in the effigy
I am giving everything away
at least in theory
I'm burying my shit.

Drowning Cat

The dock is creaking
on my steps
you think you feel silent
but don't know it yet
today makes me head
over to the water
see my reflection
try to squint harder
is that me
european shorthair
yellow eyes?
is that me
shirt full of rocks
on the inside?
one small leap
for progress
one small swim
past the lighthouse
is that me
going under the waves
is that me
useless on the final day
it keeps repeating
it keeps repeating
keeps repeating

In the closet
I hold you
a brother
like a bird
tell me all is clear
say nothing will hear
what is missed
what is distant
the hammer
is the headstone
the burn
is the marker
I can hold power
and be responsible
a brother
like a bird
whistled a tune to my ear
and said
that the loudest thing
that can be achieved
is in my possession
in the next life
I will not be a killer
of birds
but I will watch them
and they will turn away
not knowing it was me

my god is a lonely god
he tells me to bite myself
my god is a friendly god
he tells me to itch my scratches
but
no one believes
in stories
until something dies
and I will scratch
at your brain
for the attention
there are cars on the highway
headlights passing through the noise
my god is a vengeful god
and his light is in the choice
but
you don't believe
in stories
until something returns
by the time you wake up
this is the story
you will have heard
