I wake up feeling alive Then something in the air reminds me That I’m gonna die And it feels right I feel so alive Knowing I’m gonna die That peace comes to an end When I think about my friends and family How some day they’ll be dead And I feel wrecked Despondent In the face of their deaths

I want both the lamp on and the candle burnin you’re eating an icecream cone in the cemetery do you get lost when you’re not starin at what you want like i do? don’t take back what you said lay it down like a rain jacket do you get caught when you’re not tearin at what you want like i do? inside now one less layer between us i’ll make it two

I can feel you now When your chest aches, when your lungs fill out Don't try to hide I feel every breath every time you cry Still you come back To the place at where you saw me last And To a stone With my name carved in, above my bones And helplessly I watch your grief like it's act III And I am captured By the actor in front of me So take it away Chew up the scenery Put on a show For the lonely souls in the bardo And from their shrines Come haunting souls to hear the lines Of loss and love pleas with some power above And when it's all done When the music ends and the curtains come The ghosts all cheer A rapturous applause you'll never hear So take it away Chew up the scenery Put on a show For the lonely souls in the bardo

Every sunset Slide into the night sweats again Climb my way up the stairs String and ivory Back and forth, so shiny—porcelain Bristle and bare a gruesome grin Make me heavy Break the hourglass and take me down I’m ready To die a while ‘til I come back around And you’ve got The neighboring plot And I’m wrapped up like Osiris Always in pieces, girl But you put me back together again I will treasure your love Until, God forbid, you take it away Like a mummy Wrap me up and leave me out to dry Scramble my brains like eggs

First up, make a medium I’m like a southpaw in Cotillion I wanna break bad butter into bits again And I bake your bread & dough My favorite place sells a billion Making meals, tan-gills, and a bitterkins Bun it, butter, beer Get it outta here Setting it face side-down Make it up, make it now You want it, I got it Pulling bones out a goose It’s loose, move Sous That kind of bullshit is enough from you And I’m baking my whey downtown Diners Doordashing dinner date double chicken and a side Picking up the phone Orders gotta go Typical Monday rolls Someone just like you is Waiting for someone looking just like me at the door To hand you your order To take it away and then To eat Baguette built by a baker boy Basic b-roll bread is the real joy How many nights with this simian Kneading into oblivion My meat is tenderized Almost closing time Hope is on the line Better make sure it’s right Bread, dough Head, toe Bread, dough Head, toe I gotta just make my Bread, dough Head, toe Bread, dough Someone just like you is Waiting for someone looking just like me at the door To hand you your order To take it away and then To eat And someone just like you is waiting for someone just like me Picking a photo To post with your bread To hit send To be fed To pretend To a friend To no end To pretend go to bed To just spend

I wanna climb a dark canyon See the silhouette of future pines Beautiful and propagated over many lives I wanna sit around your table snackin on whatever is in style Meet your friends and hear the recipes you wanna try Oh, OK So this is what you’re like Oh, OK So this Lydia at thirty five

This was our year It came and went I watched the final sliver of sun go down in a blaze outside on the backyard deck Wanted to cry Or shout a prayer And wanted to weep and wail and gnash my teeth And wanted to claw at my hair Miles of water Years of my life Mother and daughter Husband and wife What I mean is, amen But I’d do it again And I mean it, amen I would do it again Amen, amen Amen, amen
