Now that we’ve invaded your habitat
Will you need a place to stay the night
Rest your head on the asphalt and your feet on the dash
Our headlights, your alarm, just barely graze your flesh
They say goodbye and good riddance
But I say it’s sad to be beautiful and hunted
Its heavy and it stings; its smart and it thinks
I squirm at the sound of a………
….….….….….….
….….….
….….….
….….….

“I won’t be nobody’s number 2!”
That’s what I wrote in his letter, too
How could a man just leave with no regret?
And women start looking to replacing it?
Are you feeling up for it, man?
I think the cure is in your hands.
Doctor, he said I’d always be loved!
That my arms would always be warm enough!
Now he’s gone, on I guess I’d better move-
My heart stopped, now it beats fast for you.
I am showing symptoms of sorrow again-
Tell me the truth, is it serious, man?
Put me under and starve the fever! (don’t feed it)
I am fading with every wasted second!
¡Quiéreme o me muero!

The Catch
04:51

Meet my new friends:
One, a boxer
Two, are senators
Three are lion tamers
All pretty faces
Together we’ll save the world
From desperation and dismay
Our house is under
Water at the fault
Of the government
They raise the point:
This city is a bad lover
Too quick and inattentive
Let’s sink it and build ourselves over
How will we keep warm?
Alone in our beds
How will we keep warm?
Alone in our towns?
Silly citizens
You know there’s a catch

Nicholas Avila
I was able and willing
But to love you is danger
Your tongue drunk with venom
Though your color still moves me
And I’d break just to wear you
To love you is danger
But with time you’d have lost me
I have my body bent forward and
Surrender my promise
It’s weight bears too heavy
Surrender my fortune
My path chosen for me
Surrender my beauty
Dammit I’ll lay it before you
I surrender my lovers
My envy, my lust
Forever.
I have my body bent forward and up
Blessed and cursed its work never done

My Maraschino
06:54

Is this the last time I’ll see you
Trace my curves or kiss hello again?
Tall tales in lovers speak
I saved the wrong man
Is this the last time I’ll see you
Trace my curves and kiss hello again
Tall tales in lovers speak
I blamed the wrong man
Oh no, where did you go?
Give chase, my maraschino
It was the last time I saw you-
Trace my curves and kiss hello again
Tall tales in lovers speak
I loved the wrong man
Oh no, where did you go?
Give chase, my maraschino
I could of loved you with the greatest of ease
(now we’re stained)
but you don’t care to
(now we’re stained)
Keep me safe
Now we’re stained
This time around I’ll know what to sy:
On a ete tacher
I fawn so I know not what they say:
On a ete tacher

Lonely Does It
06:18
|

You have a name that can’t be sung
Lonely does it
Your mouth wilts at confession
Lonely does it
A filthy word in your stomach
Lonely does it
This story of love
A fantastic one
Easy to live without
When ripe with conviction
Oh doggie it’s abandonment now
But I’ll come back for you
With a home built for us
My fault, unconditional acts
Lonely does it
Called a coward of many sorts
Lonely does it
Unlike you, I give too much and take much more
Lonely does it
Dead weight on my shoulders
Lonely does it
But you gotta see this now
From up on my rooftop
You’re not half as big
As you think you are
But as I look over the edge
I wanna jump so badly
To get a better look
At me, being loved
Let my love spill out
A color too ugly for you
I shut my eyes tight
Stretch my arms out wide
The intention was never
To watch my hair grow long
But it’s not all for naught, no
It’s not all for naught.

Patience, Beth (Reprise)

When tragedy strikes
No words console
Patience, Beth
You’ll learn to cope
Don’t shut it up, just let it out
Grief is what if not loud
But when you saw
Oh, that Light
A deal with Gabriel did you strike?
“Tragic, yes but I wasn’t scared… I’m sorry that I left like this. Know that I am loving you
And when you sleep I am watching you. Big sister, oh, my Light - it’s a shame but we have to die.”
I know it hurts but good god girl get up and fight for it

Salt and Syncope
05:38
|

By my bedside you broke the back
And laid out I realized that
Great a love does not a remedy lack
A pale excuse to pawn the pact
I cried afraid I’d forget them
Too many haunting days
Of what I’ve loved and lost here
I’m trying to memorize the face.
3 years ago I sought great love
A hunger artist who craved the show
But when he said “I have had enough”
I swore to not let the curtain close
So to the front row I went
With nothing but a glutton’s gift
And I tried to convince you dear:
Undo what you’ve undone!
You will never know to what depths
This back and forth fell hopeless
But in the end it’s the want you’ll see
Scaling the need, fleeing the scene.
Darling revealed a grave weapon…
Salt on the back of any slug
Could turn a bad taste on any tongue
Into some appetizing smut
When my pulse does race
Blood will drain from my face
To think of swallowing down
Anymore double-edged swords
I will never know to what depths
This tried and true pushed solace to madness
But in between is where I’m damned to be
Chasing the need, stealing the scene.

Tabula Rasa

A city worth creating for
Each little winner’s loss
All the people said:
You’d be better off to go
And do what you want
Then say you did what you could
So now you gotta go
Get out there on the move
This is why we’ll start again
And this is how we’ll get there
So follow it
And when you think you want to look back
To see if I’m coming too
Just remember this story’s twist:
You’d prefer to risk it

Lie still
Don’t move til I say:
“The fool wakes!”
-My fiercest to date
But I would have gone
All the way
Even if it didn’t pay
Even if it was malice
That made you a sage
What fear
Won’t fall from your lips
But climbs up
And sleeps on them?
(The Snake, The Fall, The Rib, The Fate.)
The Reparations
And Preparation
It’s getting loud
Some ascetic sound
For all you’ve done
And all you’ll do….
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
