Feed Me to the Forest

These hot machine years burning time across your face
See the smoke stacks rising up like fuck you towers?
My girlfriend sang like a hummingbird today
Until that cough stole her voice and fed it to the furnace
Shrew laugh, trench throat.
There’s a party on the 16th floor
This apartments paper thin walls…
You know your neighbors sobs by heart
Tight coil, cold grin
Highways wrapped around my body like a snake
Got a view of a cement lawn, amputated horizons
Thanks for the survival rags
Thanks for the soiled skies
Thanks for the fucked up future
We can learn to love misery
Was it just last night
That I woke up to a snarling baby?
Did I hear it right?
He begged his mother, Feed me to the forest!
The factory is singing us to sleepless beds tonight
Lungs like twin garbage sacks, sucking charcoal breath tonight
Sick squeal, dull moan
Looks like your neighbors found another victim
Screams Help but no one comes
Honey, won’t you turn the TV on?
Brown summer, stench wind
The globe spinning on a rusty hinge
Get in your car go to your job
Like a train that’s being robbed
