Cassie Two

She would scream around you, demand another loan, say everything’s bad news, sunlight, water, she’s high, like some candy floss cone, God knows make it right, she walks the avenue, her daisy head blown, she paints me lemon blue, throws craps every night, she’ll break my bones, never mind the fights, when she cries for truth, she is never alone, can't be bothered to argue, what's worse is the silence, all that's gone to ruin, me, my ma, her spites, will always seek their due, roll up and down the stones, leaves me here to stew, never coming home.

Cassie

Da hates the pen, your stomach turns to rope, Ma stands there bereft, if you really want class, consider them gone, never eat grass, be the first to liken, dope as their stroll, you the chosen one, if they can’t be assed, to leave you alone, poison their matches, don't even pretend, they might atone, the mess they’ve left, with their ugly dash, to one another’s phone, don’t care what happens, when you say you’ll help, make the little ones cope, what then, who needs them at home, we’ll slice our own cord.

Kevin Three

If you’re so aware, think you’re great, who am I to care, am I looking for a home, a country across my face, you're too far gone, a held need to bear, the shaking out fate, just find me one here, heaven screams alone, when voices fade, there’s no one to call in chains at the fair, plan a great escape, I'm like a timeshare, a bird that's flown, when shutters raise, a time that feels old, what if you dare, to claw at my traces, don't you understand, I’m broken freight.

Kevin Two

Put me on the train, I can hardly speak, you listen to the rain, forget sunlit avenues, or this roof that leaks, a bucket fills bad news, Paris or Marseilles, anywhere that speaks, not somewhere fake, pray I’ll see you soon, before my hair is grey, in your lavender room, please don’t mark the day, when crazy inner deeds, come out to play, besides you a magnolia blooms, love turns at ninety degrees, it’s not my tune, what is there to say, who would believe, prayers are forsaken, when you hear the sea?

Kevin

Please don't moan, stifle your screams, come rolling home, a knife to my throat, I know where you’ve been, does that keep you going, I just need a stone, to throw to the sea, searching for love, don’t dance with my ghosts, happy as a queen, toasting the lost, when you love alone, is that what you mean, to hurt the most, in your greatcoat, you once used to tease, my late soul, I'm not here to atone, for your busted seams, neither to loan, my eyes to your dreams.

Sam Three

What’s your crime, a sentence to come, drink some wine, don’t get bitter, what passes for love, won’t alter this, forget broken lines, that sing in your blood, they’re other lives, all that you flip, is there to discover, you need to change grip, entwine, silence the club, survey the crime, no more shit, hands that you scrub, laugh at such hits, hear the clock chime, no being misunderstood, remember this time, pull on your gloves.

Sam Two

Dance in poor man's shoes, sing songs on the wire, always pay your dues, if no one 'phones, don’t wait for a flyer, you know where to go, each little bit of you, faced with their ire, says here is the truth, life isn't a stone, you leave in the fire, no one does it alone, it’s your choice of ruin, louder than a choir, play some more blues, know in your bones, when others conspire, you’ll never go home, they bring you the news, say who's for hire, make your own truth, you're not a liar.
