99¢ Dreams

Enjoy life while you're alive she said
Fuck off right he said
All under breath
Mutable

I've got a real fast bike now he said
Don't need me then she said
99¢ dreams
Sold

All these callouses on my palms
Just means I carry more
More than little hands
Should

You let the flies in he said
I let you in she said
Well I'll be damned
Flies

That crusty night
Folded over now
Repeated like a recipe
In hushed tones

There were beautiful flowers
Right outside the window
Somewhere outside the window
Neither of us looking very hard

When I smoke you smoke
When I cry you cry
Just bleed out already
Or slither away

Not an attack
Never personal
It's you or me
And I'm hungry

It's getting late he said
Late enough she said
We should go
Vroom
