Track Name: Dear Jacob
"Dear, Jacob
I heard about your appointment with the doctors so I thought I'd write
you. I don't have much to say except I know you'll be just fine. The
doctors are mistaken. There's no doubt in my mind.
With love,
Maria"

And I trip
and I fall.
The soles of my sneakers
Are torn
from the weight
Put on my shoulders.
I wish I could tell
Maria
She's wrong.
But there's something wrong with honesty
When the truth will bring her to her knees.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry.

I lost you.

The love, the pain, the need, the greed
I miss them all so much
Ever since the doctor said
The words I can't bear to repeat
Even in my head.
The birds flying overhead,
The feeling of you next to me.
But I just remembered i'm not dead.
Yet.
Thursday's coming quick.
Remember the show we used to watch every Wednesday?
About
the town drunk seeking self fulfillment?
Well, I've been thinking about it all night.
And my life's kind of like that now
And I hope you understand I won't be around
And I just...
Well I just...
Love you so much
And i just...

The sky is falling down.

And I just
Want to extend an invitation
To the Lord Almighty
To sit at my table
And in my house
Have him tell me why I deserve this
Who gave him the jurisdiction
To bring hell to earth?
I thought that was the devil's work.
I'm not letting You be the one to bring me down
I guess I'll just have to find my own way out.

I miss you, Maria.
I need you now, Maria.
Track Name: gluttony.repulsion.famine.
But I could never.
I couldn’t leave her.
She seems so scared in her letters.
But I haven’t even seen her.
I guess it’s best to hold onto faith
That she feels the same way
But I don’t know.
Maybe I place too much on you dear.
I’m sorry.

I have to
Tell you what’s happening to me.
Before I die
I’ll release all my secrets on you.
I should have told you
When this all started.
And I’m sorry
I thought it’d
Be this bad.
I’m hoping
I live long enough to tell you.

I need to leave.
Maria needs me.
Like famine to the brain
I can’t find my keys
And I stumble again
My pocket.
The corridor
The elevator
The first floor
The garage
I’m in the car
I turn the key
And Maria hears me.

I leave
I’ve been a glutton long enough.
