(anita)
zoom zoom zoom
race to the parking lot
windshield wipes them twice
before the warning strike
better hurry if you’re gonna get the last bite
laying yellow grass under the overpass
i don’t think people should need to go that fast
strip malls make me feel
stripped down peel by peel
i’m just looking for a new way to feel real
cuz all i see is moving so quickly
before i can keep up w the beat
when every song sounds uptempo to me
hand me the keys
i’m going
(nolan)
gazing at your trailblazing
as your grailed sail soars above you
selling my gameboy to pay utilities to these thieves
plenty buxom babes sizzling the street today
in tomorrow’s ashtray
convenience is a must
in case you forgot to thrust
yourself inside the world my way

driving back to your old home
familiar houses outside your window
those power lines still brave these skies
i look up and you ask me if i know yes i know
that no matter where you go
that people could treat you so cold
these highways merge into a single road
that spirals and skews and takes you right back to
ontario
buried under a sheet of snow
paths that never should've crossed
and the memories that were lost
made out all on a map for me
city
take a good look at me
you are just like a dead end
the way you treated all my friends
and you are never gonna see me again
it's my party
i'm getting started
i know you thought
i'd be so much smarter
but every year
is just getting harder
just tell me
i'll be okay
push the rock in my throat
and cough up the crumbles
digging myself
out of the rubble
if you knew
i'd be this much trouble
would you help try to get out of

all i'm looking for you to say right now
drop a hint when you've exhausted your goodwill
nobody can tell from a blank slate how
hard to read like an alex colville cow
all i needed was a firm decision
picky paw don't pout
squinting at small incisions
while i make my rounds
we're due for another rude awakening
what's another jab gonna prove
mention murky memories you half forgot
got us nowhere faster than a giant slingshot
all i'm wanting is communication
easier said than done
face to face there's always hesitation
face the facts little one
saccharine screens careen quietly
perk up your ears you may miss the hearsay
don't double down suck it up swallow your pride
heresies come in many varieties
old me would say to trust everybody
but new me's met a few
questionable at best somebodies
who are attacking you

ends meet

making ends meet
make it repeat
a dozen times a year
and three times a day in my mouth
don't talk
put your head on my shoulder
like the song says
listen up
we're packing it in
making ends meet
ain't so sweet
rubbing dimes together
forgetting times forever
i'd get you tattoo'd
making ends meet
make it repeat
a dozen times a year
and three times a day in my mouth
to say i'm hungry
making ends meet
making ends meet
making ends
