Halley's Comet

I hope to remember
Seeing Halley’s Comet’s
Vapour and Vomit
All over the sky, at night
When I turn 68
Or if it’s too late
And I die
Tell her I waited
With helmet and skateboard
And tell her that I tried
Thinking of ways
To travel through space and time
She keeps getting thinner
While I just sit here and cry

Do U Know

He’s got my phone
He’s got my driving license
Please take me home
Take my money, honey, please
All I got
Is my beating body
Please take me home
Take my money, honey, please
Put that bullet in my head
Shoot me dead
Put that bullet in my head
Get it over with
(“Do you know?
Do you know what I mean?”)

Dinner
03:31

Call someone quickly
Call someone strong
Call someone big enough
To tell me that I'm wrong
Pick a finger, pull the trigger
(Anything you want, son)
Turn the lights off, make me shiver
(Give it all you got, hon)
Pluck me, cook me up for dinner
For dinner
For dinner
I'm ready
Come and find me
Bursting at the seams
Go somewhere salty
Ye, I'll go somewhere long
Somewhere the sun don't shine
Six feet beneath the ground
Pick a finger, pull the trigger
(Anything you want, son)
Turn the lights off, make me shiver
(Give it all you got, hon)
Pluck me, cook me up for dinner
For dinner
For dinner
I'm ready
Come and get me
Pull my cheeks until I'm ugly
Close my eyes and count till 20
Do it fast, just do it quickly
Tilt my glass until I'm empty
Burst me at the seams
(I’m not gonna tell you,
I don't want you to know)

Aliza don't count on me

Aliza,
Don’t count on me
Because I’m not the man,
The man that you want me to be
When I'm not asleep
When I'm on my feet
When I'm standing straight,
Upright, make no mistake
A.K.A. when I’m awake
Aliza,
Don’t comfort me
Because I’m just a creep,
Underneath,
My soul’s rotten
And I want to watch you weep
This heart is on fire
And I am a liar
But honestly,
I want to keep
What’s left of me
For I’ll never be
Seventeen again
I don’t feel so good
But I feel like I should
Today I'm going to write you away
And I notice you
Peeping out of the room
It’s OK, please,
Aliza, don’t stay
I don’t feel so good
But I feel like I should
Today I’m going to wipe you away
And I notice you
Creeping out of the room
It’s OK, please,
Aliza, don’t stay for me

Permanent Food
02:34
|
|

|
I bit my tongue
It got me in trouble
Tear droplet couples
On my crooked face
From where they fall
A cave like December
A cave to remember
A cave keeps me safe
Safe from the sun
Safe from the sidewalk
She listens when i talk
She knows me so well
Like permanent food
Old conversations
Etched on the pavement
Between me and her
She spelled my name
With peach flower petals
A beach built by pebbles
Exists at her toes
and as she speaks
I stop to listen
My ear to the base of
The bones on her cheek
And as we breathe
The whole world's a-breathing
And all hearts are beating
The hearts that remain
And oh, how we walk
With feet we’re controlling
Coming and going
Wherever we please

As I Grow
02:49
|
|
||
|
Let’s all say our prayers
Here it comes
Bluntened bayonets
And broken thumbs
Yeah, oh well, who cares?
But hey, at least I try
She says she’s five foot six
And he’s six foot five
In the summer
They tell me that I’m so weak
They ask me about
The company that I keep
I tell them that I’m fine
But who’s to know?
Maybe I’ll keep wilting
As I grow

Skeeterz
02:54
|
|
||
|
Bag of skin
Pile of bone
Pool of sweat
Sorry Ma
Killer cat
Got my tongue
Skeeters surround me
Man I hope that they
Don’t stick around
Only to drown in
Copious amounts of ground
|
||||
8. |
Uh-O
04:07
|
|
||
|
Brush my teeth and wash my throat
Clean my tongue
It makes me choke
(Uh oh)
Eat a meal and have a smoke
One more month and I’ll be broke
(Uh oh)
Take a shit and check my phone
It helps me when I’m alone
(OK)
Can’t talk on the telephone
Leave a message at the tone
(OK)
It’s a different day today
Kinda feels like yesterday
(Uh oh)
Baby when I hit the bed
Till the morning
I’ll be dead
(Uh oh)

Just take it back
Say no more
Take heed in worn out fingerprints,
Finish lines and settled scores
I’ll be the same
Shadowed and unclaimed
So go, don’t stay for me now
For I’ve been soiled
Oh, I’ve been stained
I’s tainted long before you came
And learned my face
And spelled my name
Disapproved
Silenced and unscrewed
So go, don’t stay for me now
So wipe your face
And clean your eyes
And curse that one
Who birthed the lies
Those lofty tales
And veiled disguises
Yes, it’s true
Bathed and born anew
So go, don’t stay for me now

Shantanu Pandit New Delhi, India
The distance between a performer and an audience can be measured in vulnerability. For Shantanu Pandit, those metrics both serve to repel and compel, sometimes against his own instinctive self-preservation. To date, his rare live performances have served as a sometimes uncomfortable insight into the mundane, the momentous, and the morose. ... more
