I’ve no warrant
For what you’re doing
As long as it’s different with me
Is it a practice?
Am I your target?
Or is it different with me?
Got your aim on a type
Ammunition affectionate
Does it feel different
Or is it just what you know?
Wrap me up in your coat
Cocked back at close range
Does it feel different
Or is it just what you know?
‘Cause I don't know this default connection
With me is any different
Than what you know, than what you know
And I can’t say this is the first time
I've tried to be the different one
But I know, I’m just the shot you know
I’m just the shot you know
You're the gun I know
You're the gun I know
You're the gun I know
Yes you're the gun I know, I know
I’m the shot you know
I’m the shot you know
You're the gun I know
You're the gun I know
You're the gun I know

Televise
My life in 1995
I watched it every afternoon
Watched it all by myself
Television date
Lasted for a decade
Wrote TV on my head
And watched it all by myself
Then I heard you say I don’t fit in
Though I did everything that you did
I did it all so fucking great
I’ll do it again
Television’s what I want
Sex offender confidant
In the privacy of my room
Television’s A-OK
Teaches me just what to say
I don’t need to self-improve
I eat cereal at night
I drink milk when I’m alone
Well it’s my friend when I want
TV laughs at all my jokes
It can’t tell that I’m alone
It's just my type
Televisionitis
Is my ability
Sleeper is the sleeper
TV is on TV
Television’s person
Personality
It likes to be the one with me
When I watch TV
It likes to be the one
Watching me
I turn its head on when I’m awake
I let it watch me masturbate
I turn it up when I want to sleep
I turn it up when I want to sleep
It goes out when it goes out
On walks with all of my cool friends
They make statements about all of
Television's trends
I watch furtively at night
I masturbate in blue light
Can’t leave till I’ve had my fill
Television today too
Rewatching them hit on you
They do it so fucking well
Might have liked that episode
Might have thrown up on my phone
Not the thing that makes me ill
Television in my room
Almost like I’m inside you
Well it's all I want
Television late at night
Television all the time
Television by myself

Asleep
Deep in these streets
I awake
To energy
You’re cold
Sleeping soundly
Giving me
Your energy
Do you
Carry with you
All of my
My energy?
Do you
Close around us
So I feel
Your energy?
What you
Said between us
Wishing I
Had energy
I recall
The walls that I built
Between all
Our energy
So you
See beyond her
All the lines
I drew between
Do you
See her falling
Falling beyond
Your energy?
This way
I fell too far
Into the words
I forgot to say
But you were cold
In the heat
Just like the things
I forgot to feel
Do you
See beyond me
This body
Of energy?
Do you
Close your eyes for
Me to see
Your energy?
Do you
See it leaving
Leaving like
Your energy?
Will I
Be beyond
Beyond all
Your energy?

Song of a rose
Picked in Spanish Harlem
Reminds me of younger you
Drinking wine
Tasting blood and iron
Staining your button-down
I was so unprepared for all the shocks you’d take to
Clear a crowded room
Pick all the virgin flowers and drink your memories, baby
Did you have to
Tuck those two
Pink balloons behind your
Back out on the lawn?
What I saw
Younger you so green
Your wrist turning red in rain
What color is your birthday, baby?
What will I do when they find you
Resting beneath the cake I made on Sunday
So sick and sweet?
***
Mahogany-built paneling
By Modern Coffin Engineering
Frames your features, misaligned
Complicated and refined
And what excites you now you’re resting,
Bitter taste of wine ingesting?
One more mess and then I’ll leave you
Flower dresses want to grieve you
What am I to do? Please tell me
How to spend your birthday without you
Without you
Without you

He said, toss your bike in
My yellow cab
Let’s go visit
My old man
He’s gone girl
Drunk and high
Just let him see you with me
So I complied with
Him despite the abuse
Slid into that booth
And slushy
Slushy date
8 p.m. - midnight
Drink quickly
Then touch me
Late at night, after we’re through here
Brain freeze early in the year
He said, this old haunt
It’s my favorite dive
Then took his cash out
Said, girl, do me right
Grabbed my bike
Did tricks in the dark
Shot up, ended crashing hard
But I went down on
Him despite what he did
What should I have said
That slushy
Slushy date
8 p.m. - midnight
Drink quickly
Then touch me
Late at night, after we’re through here
Brain freeze early in the year
But I went down on
Him despite what he was
What should I have done
That slushy
Slushy date
10 p.m. T.O.D.
Tire blowout
You’ll find me out
Late at night, after we’re through here
Brain freeze early in the year

The way you’re packing all your crowns
Arouses my complex
Neuroses don’t bother now
Now that we’re being honest
I went out with a couple of dudes
Innocent, shoulder to shoulder
How could I know that light in you
Would shut out the light in her
Who’s this? Well I thought I knew
Thought I knew all your girlfriends
How long will we ignore
How raw you rub me with this
I went out with a couple of dudes
Innocent, shoulder to shoulder
How could I know that light in you
Would shut out the light in her
I asked one last thing of you
Am I what you wanted?
Wouldn’t let you respond to
What it was that I wanted
I went out with a couple of dudes
Innocent, shoulder to shoulder
How could I know that light in you
Would shut out the light in her
Filled our heads with feuds
Yelled out called quits on this
How could we know what we would lose
When I went out with the dudes

Too sweet for the sea, you said
No blood on a girl who’s this clean
I wore all the dirt I could glean
Into this sorry washing machine
Gritting teeth when we lay in the rain
What's this in my vein?
Still I tried to say the right thing
But you tired of trying to clean this thing
I wanted to show you I could
See into all those mirrors of dirt
Calvin’s treehouse it burned and it hurt
To learn you’re colder than I deserve
What’s your allergy, when we bloom?
Who’s gonna clear up that hot mess for you?
I load all your shirts just for fun
Into cycles I set when I run
And I’ve been running oh for so long
Will I ever get clean when they’re done?
Your face never melts in my hand
Though ice melts on a hot sidewalk
I press my hot face into it
Show you all the salt I can drip
Salt I can drip
Salt I can drip
And what that drip did, to my vein
It makes me shrink from that smile on your face
The cost is a quarter, I find
Of what remains of my last twenty-five
It’s not quite a newbie mistake
But I’ll be wearing it the rest of my life

I sat down by him, ordered peppermint
Recounted my game of 3 on 3
He said now, hey fancy that
I only play that game on Tuesday
But where were we? Out on that court
Straining tea right into his heart
That perfect match
What we made of it
Friends that can’t get lit
Dear Chamomile
Chamomile Express, pulling out
Chamomile Express
Watched an hour, home video
Young Marty plays just like I used to
And on that night, over a slice
Declared pie the pi of our eyes
Yet where was I? Up in your trunk
Only came on Tuesday
That perfect match
What we made of it
Friends that can’t get lit
Dear Chamomile
Chamomile Express, pulling out
Chamomile Express
Thought we’d enjoy it
Banking on shots with you
Thought we’d employ those
Skills we had - skills to lose
Pour one more shot of whiskey
In my tea on the train ride home
Turn that bench around, we don’t care
Anyhow, the Spalding’s bare
Dragging our feet into the air
He’s nodding, I’m nodding too
Sleepy in our matching suits
Tuesday, we don’t return
We let the regulars play
Same courtship, just different rules
Different favors for these fools
That perfect match
What we made of it
Friends that can’t get lit
Dear Chamomile
Chamomile Express, pulling out
Chamomile Express

I thought of you last night
Cecile
Drinking out your senses
I thought of your resolve
Your broken arms
Up in a blanket
Where are you, staring into
The one that wants to use you
Where are you Cecile?
I saw a wreck on Highway 2
Cecile, where are you?
I thought of Tony’s hands on you
Your body a little stardom
Leaning on his black Volkswagen
Cecile, where are you?
Where is your mouth, a black cassette that plays
In my car?
Well I know this girl
Well I know this girl Cecile
She'll do it all over again
But I won’t let you
No I won’t let you, Cecile
Do it all over again
Where are you, staring into
The one that wants to use you
Where are you Cecile?
I saw a wreck on Highway 2
Cecile, where are you?
I thought of him unwrapping you
Your cold feet white as stars
Lighting up his dark car
Cecile, where are you?
Where is your mouth, a black cassette that plays
In my car?
Well I know this girl
Well I know this girl Cecile
She'll do it all over again
But I won’t let you
No I won’t let you, Cecile
Do it all over again
Over again
