if only i wanted, i think i could kill you
rip off your arms and chew on your sinew
but you've got me tied to the trunk of this dogwood
so i rest my head and i count all the cardinals
you've got me wasting up all my potential
i'm born for the hunt, god am i something special
you should have seen me chase after those red-tails
i never lost one blood drop or entrail
you've been so good to me
so why does it feel like i'm still stuck in a cage?
you've been so good to me
but living like this ain't really living like me
i know if i wanted that i could kill you
rip off your legs and ingest what's within you
but you let me inside your love and affection
give me a moment of honest attention
you've been so good to me
but living like this is living still stuck in a cage
yeah, you've been so good to me
but after some time i feel like i must run away

Allegheny River

capsize a canoe on the river
hit the water, it's twelve degrees
a fish fin or dreadful feeling
circling my body
wash up by the shore
feel something grab on to my skin
a wet sock, a wayward thorn
and it's pulling me back in
it's always pulling me back in
force down a fifth of whiskey
i've been sleeping better on my own
in new york, a midnight drive
two nights in a cell alone
great lakes and good god
how the hell did it end up here?
the train tracks, the tied knot
maybe i should've been more clear
back south, alabama
always ignore the ringing phone
but one thing ringing through:
you'll never make it on your own
you'll never make it
