when it happens will you hold me? just embrace it. let our weakness make us strong.
what's that you said about my falling? i'm like a meteor, when shit goes off i just blaze on.
when i finally arrive, i'll be far beyond my prime.
i like to watch you when you're coming. that shaking body. the way you let go of it all.
it's the only fucking time. and i just want to hit rewind.

Palimpsest

here it comes with a touch of burning. i've been waiting for this my whole life.
take my head, my worn out body. i don't need it.
growing tired of the same old churning. i've been wading through it my whole life
take my words, my space, my folly. i don't need it, i don't want.
(take this page and make it empty. stack my words and make them bailey. use me spruce me don't reduce me. make me yours and repeat daily.)
wear me down. i'll be your palimpsest, baby!

another nameless morning and we're sitting by ourselves.
we're waiting for our moment like it's resting on a shelf.
we've been around a cycle, yeah we've seen a couple years.
let's call this what it its, let's recognize our fears.
push through the fallout. play this in real time.
let's not pretend like we're the softer kind.
your arms around me. my cheeks are soaked.
i'm gonna swallow even if i choke.
a pause for composure as i feel your ghost.
spin cycle of a pattern as i make believe i'm host.
i set the table. i dust your empty seat.
i know the cycle, but still i press repeat.
push through the fall out. play this in half time.
no matter where i look you're not on the other side.
a lost companion. a love that i can't know.
i'm gonna swallow even if i choke.
i gotta run. guess i'll see ya later.

i snap your picture as you’re headin out the station with your 64 ounces and this look of satisfaction.
wearing that ball cap. it’s a big red fucking billboard sayin "make america great again."
i hide the phone as i giggle in discomfort with my false rebellion sealed safe behind that windshield.
what if i’d gone out? asked you how your day was? answered the same?
i don’t know if it could’ve been the answer but i believe we’re human. (at least most of us are human.)
if i shared my scars would you put down your arms and let that feeling flow?
give me playback. give me redo. give me empathy. give me peace.
i’ll put up arms. diversity of tactics. but please don’t make me.
we share a glance as i’m heading out the bathroom. fresh layer of make up and this look of anxiety

ghastly from indiana. leftist janglepunk.
emotional songs through a radical, queer'd, anti-racist
perspective.
Pictured: Martin and Byrne waiting backstage to see Lizzo in 2019. Martin has looked the same since at least 2000. Byrne looks substantially different every three days.
