If you came to me and asked to cover man’s eyes instead of opening them wide could you to tell me why?
Cause
What if we tell them there’s a super place where sniffing glue isn’t as important as they’re use to?
What if we tell them it means there’s this super place where huffing glue isn’t as important as they’re use to?
If you came to me
From the other side and you asked about electric cars and how to stay alive
Well what if we can tell them there’s this special place where tweaking isn’t as important as they’re use to?
And what if we can tell them there’s super place where opioid use isn’t as important as they’re use to?

she wore a wreath of leaves on her head
Didn't know what it meant but liked what it said
Somehow it brought peace to the room in her imagination
He wore the wreath on her wedding day
Matched the flowers to extenuate the bouquet
Not satisfied with another way
Vows she wrote for what the pastor would say
She wore a wreath of leaves on her head
Said I do to how she was misled
But she looked like such a beautiful bride

I just wanted you to know I loved you and I was the fall painter
I was very sick and hurting and didn't know how to tell you how special I thought your most everything was
I just wanted you to know I loved you and I was the faux painter

There’s a club down the street Gregory goes
Smells of aftershave and clean clean clothes
His eyes search throbbing bodies
Those that barely glow
And he tells you the story of the last day of his life over and over again

there was once a sweetheart with a pedigree shoes piled in the closet ankle past the knee made a funny puzzle with a trillion ways to sew a kind of invitation not to let you go a kind of invitation not to let you go who did all the ironing who unclogged the sinks who gave you sweat offerings of ice cold drinks?

trying to pick and dig the dream of your only child with me

the husband

When I was thinking of you I told my lover;
It was the scent of an eye I once knew
I remember a time we could toast to not knowing
Who would be what and what would be who
It’s the husband with the gun
With hatred in his eyes
He’s the cause of our problems dear!
It’s the husband with the gun
Then in my mind you’d appear like the body who just passed by
Opened its bag for to enjoy the view
You’d apologize for the state of your hair or the awkward glance of your thigh
(I’d say my Rosa it is not you)
It’s the husband with the gun
With hatred in his eyes
He’s the cause of our problems dear!
It’s the husband with the gun

I've got crutches and a coat and the handkerchief for my head
But it's cold and sometimes I get sad for that

Sometimes when I get lonely and I want to cry
I sneak a peek at this thumb print
There’s this thumb print I saved from when you were mine
I keep it in a cool dark place and look at it from time to time
It is something I will not erase

she has an inside and outside without control
and it's taking advantage of a tiny soul
there are things for her to learn and children to raise in return
there are places to hide, places to siege, places to siege just to hide
