"Lawns" lyrics
"Lawns"
December 27th: my dad walked in
I was 18 years old
He said, "Our trash can's blown over
The trash is all scattered across other people's lawns."
So, I put on a jacket and I forgot my gloves
We went outside
It was cold as fuck
(I keep seeing these things out of the corner of my eye)
He gave me a trash bag, pointed across the street
Our trash was everywhere
So, we went at it like an Easter egg hunt
Always more to be found
The wind started blowing
Every time I took my hands out of my fucking pockets
Shove 'em back in again
Bags from Kohl's and Target
Different-colored gift wrap and thousands of receipts
I walked from lawn to lawn
I skipped the ones with fences and I grabbed all I could
The sidewalk I waited
(I waited)
I waited on the sidewalk, for my dad, I mean
But I couldn't find him
He was nowhere to be seen

Walk away till you lose your touch
But someone won't be there anymore
Lost again in the same old muss
I remember how it was once
But memories don't do me any good...

Devils were laughing so loud,
I couldn't hear the radio.
In the dark bags become,
Sneaking devils waiting to pounce
And display impressive claws....
The Microphones - "The Mansion" There's no end, there's no glory
There's a slow resounding story
There's no place to feel certain
There's nobody waiting for me
There's no stand of trees, no morning

Crywank - "Harvey Milk Shit On The Table" Like a cat who's not yet used to its claws
I'll hurt anyone I try to adore
I may be stretched out over your floor
But I want to open your mind and not your jaw
Did I make it too easy to hurt me?
Did...
