lyrics

Wishbone

my father always said, you should quit while you’re ahead
screaming barefoot in the snow at a Nevada motel 6,
where’s the passion in compromise? I should be fucking canonized another 14 hour drive for what? for love? a place to hide?

saw the girls at the pool on the 4th of July
telling me, maybe I should wear a one-piece next time
I scream, I used to like to swim at the gas station attendant
how can you learn from your mistakes if you’re too ashamed to look at them

Wyoming
a trailer park, a constellation
is there any act of hope like keeping one foot out the door?
is there anything as lonesome?

“if I can’t be beautiful, what I create will be”
below a drawing of my naked and distorted body
that was your voice in my head—I know that now, I didn’t then
I was a bottle rocket, firework, a fearless little kid

Oh anonymity
is a mountain, tall and free

Wyoming
a trailer park, a constellation
is there any act of hope like keeping one foot out the door?
is there anything as lonesome?
