Radium Girls 04:26
Your own eyelash Dipped in Radium Careful fingers painting in the lines Cheerful glow to indicate the time Undark Splattered with light Down to the waist The brush sweeps, mind fleets Still it won't fade It creeps in and in and never out Now pretty girls glow underground Tick tock - your hand on every wrist And these sweet young girls Were taught to trust Lip tip, put fire in your cheek It grows dim Undark, undark, undark Un-warned Un-armed Purposely uninformed Girls who glow and can absorb the light Unaware of catacombs inside Make a small point Keep the point tight Focus your eyes And draw the line

Fingertips and diagrams And a verse stuck just because You forgot what it was All of this is buzzing round While you try to rest Head heavy on my chest It's easy to dismiss you as a selfish man It's objective fact acknowledged that you are Let me be the prize object that you hoard Let me curl myself around you and be yours In your mind Eternal force of movement Inside I am here And you hardly notice Beside It's easy to dismiss me as the selfish one It's objective fact - we all know that I am If I can fill all needs you will always come to me You become my charm, external self-esteem It's comic Pathetic Mark of internal growth It's sarcastic and greedy We're all just politicians All desperate and needy A million gaping hearts All longing for feeding
3.
Pripyat 04:41
We speak as particles When we speak Dot Dot We become chemicals Where we are Dot Dot Our town it wonders why Its only guests are dreams Memories that float like fog Drift through missing windowpanes And when the moonlight comes Stars lie down like broken glass And our poor town aches for us Frozen times that cannot pass Can never pass Now the surrounding woods Have moved into the town Curious where children went Who used to climb up in their boughs Wild horses wander now Where only our feet used to tread Eating grass that grows around The crumbling remnants of our end Of our end
4.
I'm weak I have the pills to prove I'm weak And when compared to you I lose There's only so much light You take more than your share There's only so much love You take more than your share There's only so much us You take more than your share I'm weak I could tell you knew I'm weak And you took advantage And when I'm compared to you (As I cannot help but do) I lose There's only so much light You take more than your share There's only so much love You take more than your share
5.
Sometimes it's hard to look up It can be tough to pretend That I'm not crumbling Like ant hills in hard rain The weight is heavy at times The lines fall hard And then I'm falling apart A river that banks can't contain It can be hard to see Crumbling in your wake Look at me; please don't turn Is this what we deserve? Is this all that we are? Only this, nothing more? Crumbling, all of us In the sea, into dust We learn though we stumble Not through paths unchosen We learn from upheaval Not through words and tokens We lack for example Not for lofty sermons We learn though we stumble Sing along, my children

His hand slid to her knee She didn't want it there But was not sure what to say It was a tricky situation Hollow hello Her hand reached out and squeezed She knew she'd had enough And as he feel to his knees She thought about tomorrow Damn you and your selfishness Now there's nothing left for us

Ownsome 04:23
It's like bee stings Broken bike chains Empty weekends Such is my frustration Slow clock watchers Know my longing Inspiration Nothing You're dead in my mind I loose the kite strings Not naturally forgiving Do you think it just happens? Do you think you just fall out of the way? Do you think they won't notice? Do you think it just happens? It's hardly worth my time And who knows why I try Is there a point I'm missing? I have the illusion of success Cubicle, coffee, paper mess I have the illusion of success Success

Feathersong 03:01
Dear Dan, I thought of you today I saw a woman on the ferry Holding up a baby girl Just the age ours would have been If I'd have had If I had had If I could have had the baby You're a lazy cloud Baby beating heart You're laying on the ground Yael, I hope this finds you well Things here are just the same Keeping busy with my work Best to you Sincerely, Daniel

Lemoncholic 03:21
Is bunker kissers what we are? Through cinder blocks We wander hand in hand Apocalyptic wonderland With our best dresses and blue suits We stroll through stripmalls With our cash in hand It's our atomic motherland Hide from enemies invisible From threats and ends that are unthinkable That never happen and they never will Are we all lemoncholic? Marvel at the pointlessness Of secrets kept and now reclassified It probably wasn't worth the time Cement romantics in concrete The fears we held have spilled out nationwide Across the continent's divide

What fit of rage? What tiny hand moved? How quickly it came Quickly it tore A symbolic swipe Almost worse than a real knife A symbolic swipe Proved permanent, permanent Mischievous mind Mysterious motives Unfortunate end Unfortunate end Thick, bold swaths of blue What are you protecting? What devious rays? What dark, evil thoughts? Blue, everywhere blue A smile, unnerving What fury propelled Such application? Innocently standing there Damage done, beyond repair Blue, the cause or blue, the cure? Danger's impulsive What have you done, baby, what have you done? I had this together and now it's all gone You took it and you broke it You're so impulsive
