I: ((nineteen spirit))

i got the nineteen spirit
i'm taking off my shoes
i'm changing all my clothes
i'm kissing all my friends

i got the nineteen spirit
i'm changing all my shoes
i'm taking off my clothes
re-finding all my friends

no one speaks the language of my love, like you
no one speaks the language of my failure, like you
no one speaks the language of my futures, like you

and it's reaching all around
it's reaching all around?! (YEAH)

tonight

today

will you run this brush with me?
will you trust in your legs and my heart?

my friend pat doesn't wanna go bald
i don't wanna go bald neither
pat's been taking formulas he found on television
i've been talking shit and wishing hard

tonight

today

won't you run through this brush with me?
won't you trust in my legs and your heart?

II: alex

alex you are a series of my favorite images
a pyroclastic flow of tries and heart and hurt
i love you

with the essence of adolesence
still deep with in our flesh
and
a vigor for cleansing rigor
compelling all our eras
you are a lover
planting wherever you go
i am a student
watching
for whenever you grow


alex, it you can do
belief of mine
it is in you

you are my nigga
my fucking brother
and i need that
for the nights
when my eyes
are swollen shut
by the blackest kind of feedback

for the nights
when eyes
flower wide
and distance
is semantic
our tongues
are a secret weapon
for decay death and bad shit


alex, it you can do
belief of mine
it is in you

and there is plethoras
of promises
sending/receiving
from both our lips;
pledges in bodies
and silences

breaking
and women
and indian prayers

gender
and action
genuine anger

family
and crawling
and what makes you lie

daley and police
and failing adults

shaking
and laughing
and all that we won't

("...the feelings of
a real life emotional teenager
then you think again")


alex, it you can do
belief of mine
it is in you

but i love that we're here
and i love that we're now
i love that we fear
and cover our mouths

and i love that we fight
with all open palms
and are wrong
and are wrong
and are wrong
and are wrong

alex, it you can do
belief of mine
it is in you

III: no fear

("pass the peas like they used to do")

IV: into the void

"talking to myself all the way to the station
pictures in my head of the final destination"
