The first cigarette that I ever tried

Weak on your porch

Eyes closed and

Held inside

Too old to make sense of the innocence

And our legs in a shape

Like a crucifix

Turn on the television sleep on the couch

Wake up in shoes, and walk back to

Mary's house

Tell her a story that she'll always believe

Hold in the taste of the smoke back

Behind my teeth

I give a lot of weight

To your answers now

I never knew

That (all of my family lies were right inside of me)

Oh I'm too close

I think I'm close to clean

The way it all just fades

And requiescence takes its place

My temple body in a Mayan state

If I come over is my secret safe?

I know it's hard enough to love me when

I'm on my face

You can crack my head wide open

Put me in my place

And I don't know if I can take it

I wasn't complacent

I died on the table that night

I hope you know

Don't call out that you'll wait for me

If you're scared, can you keep that to

Yourself?

Can you keep that from me?
