Drive the Car

Drive the car and practice the words
A mantra to move from A to B
Through gentle S to sudden stop
Floating forward, sitting still
From A to B and back again
Drive the car from home to work
To the corner store, to the food and fuel
To a secret place, to a different door
Never opened, always locked
Eyes on the road from work to home
Drive the car
Drive it over the edge
Drive it into the black
Drive the car
Drive the car and lie all the time
Eyes in the mirror you don't recognize
It's nothing you like, all make believe
Subject and object always out of reach
No one likes a coward, frauds even less
From A to B and back again
Keep it to yourself
Drive the car
A mantra to move
From A to B
Lie and dream and
Try and fail
No one likes a dumb son of a bitch
So keep it to yourself
Drive the car
Drive the car
Drive the car
Drive it over the edge
Drive it into the black
Drive the car

Night Tremors

On high alert
Another warning
Cloaked in the safest words
In the calm of morning
Drive away so so clever
Still feeling those night tremors
And we all feel the surge
But we don’t know it
All the light and sound
Is gonna overrun me
Dreams taken down
Through the weary levies
Shooting stars, shooting guns
There’s enough charge for a second sun
Drive away so so clever
Still feeling those tremors
And the world is tired of itself
Undeterred but giving up the tells
I can’t sleep but I don’t really need to
Don’t take less than you agreed to
Drive away so so clever
Still feeling those tremors
