Loose stool
Really bad farts
Stomach hurts
Feels like I have food stuck in my throat
I have problems with my digestion
Shoulders ache
Hips ache
Knees ache
I just threw out my back again
I’ve got problems with my muscles and tendons

A living body
is not a fixed thing
(but a flowing event,
like a flame or a whirlpool.)
the shape alone is stable,
for the substance is a stream
going in at one end
and out at the other.
And I hope life will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love

Pick a number and hold on up top
Put it in the right oven and we’ll bake it up
Cause I’ll
Make sure that you’ll never forget that
I was sitting on a fence when I
Felt it for the first time
Berry plucking and putting on a sock
Making all the changes needed then we’ll make it up
Cause I’ll
Make sure that I never forget
About your body and I’m looking up
Old man, take a little more time, and break off this urge
Ok and I’m picking myself, picking someone, picking verbs
Old man, make a new one, making all mine mine, (make it up), making it yours
This time, take me home, your sun fills it up
Making it all night long
All night long
All night long
I really really want you to stay
All night long

I look at my reflection
in your passenger side window
thinkin how everything
I am, I am is inside this body
no, i don’t believe you have a soul
that doesn’t make you ugly
and I do believe you're irreplaceable
how does it feel being ordinary?
and i’ll live my whole life
under fluorescent lights
waiting for the animal
to drag me out under the stars
paint me with a lilac scar
shake until the memory’s gone
is it the animal inside
that could love you better?
if I didn’t need so much
could I know you better?
cuz she’ll live her whole life
under a necklace of lights
look how it tangles
she doesn't dread the winter
it never does surprise her
she feeds her lover carrion
is there an animal inside
that could love you better?
if I hold you now
will I always be a mother?
cuz I’ll live my whole life
slowing down at yellow lights
learning new ways to come home
but i’m not looking for a new way
to tell you that I’m sorry
and it matters that you were hurtin
there’s relentless
shattering and gathering of light
on the horizon
i’ve looked away before
that felt like dyin
but I saw it through
with a silver thread
I wouldn’t ask you to
and you’ll live your whole life
you'll live a full life
doin standup for your friends
I love the way you say the same thing
everytime we walk through this garden
this is the biggest camila forest
you’ll ever be in
no I won’t forget this
I’ll always need reminding
no I won’t forget
I’ll always need this

Heart is a blue corn valley
Arizona hands and
Cactus blossom trust
How do you make a long road look easy?
Splintering, soul-crushing sight through the dust
I hope you know
We’ve had a hard time
Kisses don’t come
Water don’t run
Black coal steam forward
Heavy soul, borrowed
Make me a lover
Give me tomorrow

I find me at the helm of what I only can describe
as a four decade crash test dummy ride.
I brace myself for that brick wall approaching in our sites
And take comfort that we'll be saving lives.
Into a million pieces, we're a smash to all who watch.
Our thermo resin bodies come apart.
And they can measure impact from ignition until we stop,
but they can never know what's in our hearts.
I find me at the helm and couldn't stop it if I tried.
What's left of us can only tell the truth.
And if comes to life and death
I'll clutch my chest and sigh.
And I will close my eyes and think of you.
What's left of my mind will turn to you.

The socket
Locks it
A prisoner
To your body
It's up to you to set it free
Discolocate
Hip to hip
Discolocate
Joint to joint
Limb from limb
Push it
Pull it
Subluxate
Who needs it
Leave it
Just let it all hang loose
Discolocate
Hip to hip
Discolocate
Joint to joint
Limb from limb

Hey young man
You can’t control the waves
But it was nice of you to think you could try
And one day you’ll learn
That all of these thoughts are
Tearing you up inside
And on that day
It might seem hopeless
But I hope you give it a try
And find some light
And life worth living in
It’ll be alright
And if you want a clear, clean conscience
Put your faith, your faith in me
Yeah if you want a clear, clean conscience
Put your faith, your faith in me
Hey young girl
I know your mind is racing
You can’t seem to slow it down
With each small step
A million fractured futures
Of nightmares that abound
And slowly as
Time unfurls
You’ll see that none of them materialize
But you’ll go on
Proceeding with caution
‘Cause you can’t count on good luck twice
And if you want a clean, clear conscience
Put your faith, your faith in me
Yeah if you want a clean, clear conscience
Put your faith, your faith in me
So say your prayers and meditate
Take the drugs, hallucinate
Pour the oil—consecrate your mind
Fictionalize, fabricate
Indulge the myths that they create
And say will set you free but only bind
And break the bread and drink the wine
Kneel before your gilded shrine
‘Til incense fills the corners of your lungs
And exercise and eat real well
Take these supplements to quell
The chaos that’s unfurling all the time
But if you want a clear, clean conscience
Put your faith, your faith in me
Yeah if you want a clear, clean conscience
Put your faith, your faith in me

I fell for you in Shanghai
Drunk on summer rain
Your hand on a martini
Your mouth around my name
I waited then for Beijing
it never came
And I’d do anything for you to ask me if I’m free tonight
Irresistible
Tell me that you want me
Inexplicable
I could be yours
Unpredictable
When you’re so
Irresistable
I’d teach you how to touch me
If I knew you didn’t care
My hands around your body
My whispers in your hair
But to speak before you’ve spoken
I wouldn’t dare
And I’d do anything for you to ask me if I’m free tonight
Irresistible
Tell me that you want me
Inexplicable
I know that I’m yours/that I could be yours/you know that I’m yours
Unpredictable
When you’re so
Irresistible
I saw you at the lake
I jumped out of my seat
I hid behind my friend
Didn’t know how to greet you
Irresistible
The sweat was dripping down your back
Inexplicable
You ran away you’re good at that
Unpredictable
What I would do to have you
I’d do anything for you to ask me if I’m free tonight
What are you waiting for
You keep me guessing
Dig your nails into me
Use your fucking words
Irresistible
Tell me that you want me
Inexplicable
I could be yours
Unpredictable
When you’re so
Irresistible

Everything has changed
Everything has changed
But in so many ways
I’m exactly the same
You can only ride the wave
All you can do is abide the change
And in every curious phase
I’m exactly the same
Everything has changed
Everything has changed
But in so many ways
I’m exactly the same
Delirious and strange
Colloquial and everyday
Let the fucking hand of time turn the pages
Still the heart of me remains the same, the same

Inside everybody is a skeleton,
Your bones are hidden deep underneath all your skin.
Your body is a suit that you are hiding in,
When you take it off you can begin again.
An unknown caller tells me that it’s time to go.
I ask where we’re going he says “I don’t know.”
A body only lasts a hundred years or so,
A skeleton will last a little longer though.
Your body is a rib cage with a soul inside,
You can’t unlock it just because your soul has died,
A skeleton sans flesh is still a thing alive,
The twilight of your life begets the eventide.

Am I just a vessel made to house a lonely ghost?
Give it arms and legs and to move, and dress it up in clothes.
I often think about the things that make me fall apart
They tend to leave the skin alone and head straight for the heart.
Body aches, my mind’s awake, in the middle of the night
Internalize and exercise, I try to close my eyes.
Fears and tears, it’s all I hear, are they real or something else?
I feel suspense, my muscles tense,
It's all my sense of self.
What other way to live than let emotion take control?
I'm unable to separate the body and the soul
I feel the weight and concentrate, I try and hold it in
The battles in my own head are the hardest ones to win
Body aches, my mind’s awake, in the middle of the night
Internalize and exercise, I try to close my eyes.
Fears and tears, that’s all I hear, are they real or something else?
I feel suspense, my muscles tense,
It's all my sense of self.

I made up my mind
Half a dozen years ago
I’d commit my mind my body heart and soul
I made up my mind
You made up my world
You put every girl to shame
Took me half a day
Up in Russian Hill
To forget my name
That dark part of my life
Is over
I’m just lucky now
A four-leaf clover
Like that little girl
Who kept calling, “Seven Days”
Let my hair grow long til it disappeared my face
From my living hell
Laguna & Fell
Popped my head up just to crawl
Up to Union Street
Right on Polk to drink
Black coffee like my soul
That sunshine smile of yours
To my dark cloud
Pulled me from that well
Of static snow
