Look Out Utility Poles! (From The EP “I Give To The Poor So I Can Have Something To Steal”

This is a little difficult to write about
but I suffer from what in the bad old days
was called multiple personalities

There was some childhood trauma
involving circus clowns
and the country of Bulgaria
it’s hard to get into

When I get overly stressed or scared
sometimes Jessica comes out
This is what they told me at the hospital
it’s not something I’m conscious for
And her style of writing is very different from mine
She writes about sunshine and lollipops
and I have to go back
and change sunshine to rape
and lollipops to drink and drive

I'm in a band with my brother Matt
The problem is that he is classically trained
in playing Jamaican steel drums

So we’re at shows trying to play some punk
and he’s standing there in shorts
and a floral shirt
playing this huge steel drum and asking for tips
I think he tried to braid some girl’s hair once
