now, all my favourite trails
are becoming choked with weeds
poison ivy on my hands
and bindweed in my teeth

Hudson

i thought it was him
in the doorframe
it was hudson
as a spectre
i loved him
as a flawed man
and a body
all the waters
and the ice rocks
in the north wind
could not fill him

Phantom

last night in the dream
i was found at the scene
moving to the band
they were playing
i was stoned and lovely
something changed roughly
the lamps were shining light
onto my face
as a ghost i was cold
in my dream i was bold
i told my mind to them
to the strangers
in the dark i was alone
at the creek throwing stones
the sound was moving out
across the field
after the show the light went dim
i cut off my phantom limb
my blood was pouring out
onto the grass

Beast

there is a beast inside my body
it's shooting smoke from my lungs
it made a home in my stomach
burned a hole in my tongue
i want it gone
i want it gone
deep down inside the swamp
the place where it came from
there is a beast in my brain stem
there are demons in my cells
i'm not quite sure i can best them
and send them all back to hell
i want it gone
i want it gone
deep down inside the swamp
the place where it came from
let it fester there

is everything the way i planned?
some stars just leave and fade to black
some stars shine brighter
(have i learned it yet?)
will i be remembered when i die?
it's a sick trap
it's a sick trap
this lazy summer
it's a sick trap
and i don't even know it yet
in symmetry and cedar i dream
just to be a bigger man
to shine brighter
(have i made it yet?)
is that all there is to living?
it's a sick trap
it's a sick trap
this lazy summer
it's a sick trap
and i don't even know it yet
oh i, i can't fight it
no i won't be fighting
