What a stroke of luck!
Five new friends and an invite to their pub.
All the beers that I can drink,
Tony didn't even complain when I threw up in his sink.
I've been blacking out again.
That neon green drink is great, but god dammit it stings.
My wife would be worried that I didn't come home
If I had either of those things.
I woke up in a snow bank
I can't find my shirt or my shoes
My breath is completely rank.
But my dreams last night were so nice
My friends were all there to protect me from the cruel ice
And I know they'll always look out for me.

Hauling Sound

Just after sunrise
A soft red glow warms my eyes
My dreams survive
Until your voices arrive
You just want me to know
another night has passed
and you're still here
If from back in time
came an iteration of mine
to behold this sight
he'd not believe his watery eyes
A sudden sound
Informs that you've fallen down
Sideways to the ground
As though you were structurally unsound
You just want me to know
another night has passed
and you're still here for me

The Perfect Machine

Obsessed with the rules, we learned them all
Programmed every one into vast machines
Meticulous toil, we will fill the gaps
This is science, this is flawless science
Wish I could shut it off
But it's told me that's not the choice I'll make
Possibilities have collapsed into eventualities
Fly on paper now, compound eyes are glued to this screen
This is science, this is flawless science

Valhall Awaits Me
04:16

Blood gushes from the wound
The cut is wide and deep
And before I turn around
He falls to his knees
A clear song rings in the blade
When steel meets hardened steel
I hear the sound of wood that breaks
A sword cuts through my shield
I drop the shield and grab my axe
A weapon in each fist
The first blow makes the helmet crack
The axe cut to the teeth
I rip the axe from the head
Covered in blood and brains
Leave the body lying dead
Ready to strike again
Sword in my hand, axe on my side
Valhall awaits me, soon I will die
Bear skin on my back, wolf jaw on my head
Valhall awaits me when I'm dead
I raise my axe above my head
My eyes stare in furious rage
Yet more blood will be shed
This is a victorious day
Blood gushes from the wound
The cut is wide and deep
As I turn around
I fall to my knees
Sword in my hand, axe on my side
Valhall awaits me, soon I will die
Bear skin on my back, wolf jaw on my head
Valhall awaits me when I'm dead

Smoke floats mischievously from a chimney
Where halfway up a structural mishap has caused a twenty degree bend
Most things that we've done today have been impossible
We'll come back tomorrow to do them all again, lest we not believe ourselves
Tell me, why can't this place be real?
God damn adult responsibilities
Tell me, how soon can we come back?
Next week I'm pretty sure I'll be free
This breakfast sucks but I could not care less
I'll smile in my chair at crooked beams overhead and forget about those eggs
There's snow on every rooftop, and I'm in short sleeves outside
I'll take out a second mortgage to keep paying for this ride
Never thought I would look forward to standing around in lines
This place is the either greatest or it's just a sugar high
Tell me, why can't this place be real?
God damn adult responsibilities
Tell me, how soon can we come back?
Next week I'm pretty sure I'll be free
