Blood Forever
Blood, blood innocent one
Bunk boys
One more round and I’m calling it
I’m having fun
But I don’t wanna get hung-out to dry
I gotta get up and start setting up
Tomorrow in the dining hall, after noon
I’ll see you there
Don’t think you’re getting out of work
We gotta be ready, campers arrive in
Three days shining faces will be beaming
They need to know
That they’ll be safe, together all Summer
We gotta help them make memories that will last
Forever
Forever
Forever
and ever

Dog Days
This time, it’ll be different
I’m full of love, I’m full of life, I’m aching to be
In the sunshine, it’ll be all right,
The melon sun burning in my eyes
Every day’s a challenge we’re here to face
We make pilgrimages to strip malls because
Parking lots are our holy place
This time it’ll be different
I need a shot of meaning in my life
I’m tired, I’m selfish
The heavy clouds are promising to burst
And every day’s a repeat of the last
We’re waiting for the perfect time but
We’re too late, it’s already passed
This time, it’ll be different
I’m crawling to the surface of the earth
I’m numb, I’m senseless
The storm is never ceasing in its fury
We made promises that we could never keep
We labored in our sowing
The season’s come, now it’s time to reap
This time, it’ll be different
I swear to you, I mean it for once this time
In the sunshine, feeling all right
Embracing that these dog days are all mine
Every day’s a blessing received with grace
The memories of good old days
Are with us still, never to be replaced

Hell is a Neverending Summer
Peek through the window blinds
I can see a couple of cars
Headlights flood the whole apartment
If you squint they look like stars
One, two, three, four
Steps it takes from the couch to the front door.
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
We started on top but now it’s all gone to-
Hell is a neverending summer
But that’s the way it goes
Sometimes you say goodbye so long good riddance
I’ll see you in hell
Aches, pains, and a new heartbreak
They say the vibes aren’t ever right
How much can one brain take?
There is no end in sight
Five, six, seven, eight
Social media friends you unfollow each day
Two, three, four, five
You count under your breath because you don’t want to die
Hell is a neverending summer
But that’s the way it goes
Sometimes you say goodbye so long good riddance
I’ll see you in hell
I can’t take more.
Of this.
No more.

Under the Moonlight
Oh, we’re under the moonlight
And we’re feeling alright
When you look at me
I wonder what you see
I knew this lake
Would be our great escape
When the Summer ends
Then our lives begin
Forget my last semester
Yeah, we’re moving westward
We’ll find a place for us
Or maybe just our love
Oh, under the moon light
And I know
We’d be air tight
Perfect lovers
Something we’ll see
If we go
We’d be set right
If the Summer
Will let us be

Camp on the Lake
Pull my heart out as I watch
and I learn how it works
It’s too late ‘cause I made the mistake of falling in love
on the first night of Camp on the Lake
Meet the bunk boys
Here’s what summer can really be
If you let it
and if Summer lets you be.
In the mess hall
I’m invisible to her
Until I’m not.
I’ve got a target on my chest.
Pull my heart out as I watch
and I learn how it works
It’s too late ‘cause I made the mistake of falling in love
on the first night of Camp on the Lake
Hidden glances
We hold hands in the woods
Until the sun goes down
Then we go down dropping one by one
Round the bonfire
Burned her marshmallow
On the very same flames
He would dangle her over that night
Pull my heart out as I watch
and I learn how it works
It’s too late ‘cause I made the mistake of falling in love
on the first night of Camp on the Lake
Pull my heart out as I watch
and I learn how it works
It’s too late ‘cause I made the mistake of falling in love
on the first night of Camp on the Lake
Camp on the Lake

Standoff
My gut tells me that something’s not quite right
The fire’s burning wilder in his deep and smoky eyes
My heart’s a hammer pounding through my chest
Coyote howls and creaking floors do nothing to put my nerves at rest
I turn to you, and you, and you
Knowing what’s at hand, but not sure if we can see it through
A calling gesture—he beckons with his hand
We probably should’ve come here with a better thought out plan
He smiles as he reaches toward his pants
And offers us some cigarettes, noting our long gaze askance
The door blows shut, he swaggers with a strut,
Inching towards our crew, what’s he gonna do? The game is up
I turn to you, and you, and you
Nodding with a grin, that’s it, we’re all in, you know what to do
Attack!

The Mist
There must be something I missed
I don’t think I drank too much, but there’s a
lot I can’t recall right now
And I see nothing but mist
A hazy silver shroud looms over everything tonight
I pass through the trees
I’m chilled by the breeze
I fall to my knees
Is it the mist, or is it me?
I can’t remember my own face
I stare into the deep blue lake, but no hint of a reflection greets me back
Am I forever in this place?
My memories of a distant past all faintly fade to black
I pass through the trees
I’m chilled by the breeze
I fall to my knees
Is it the mist, or is it me?
My insides are cold and aching with the ebb and flow of the fog
My heart can’t keep from breaking but I never love until something’s gone
Coyotes will clean their teeth on my bones as they eat my flesh raw
My body will finally return to the Earth and nourish the soil
There must be something I missed
I thought you said you’d meet me here but I swear I’ve searched all around
And I see nothing but mist
I’ve walked along the edge but I can’t take a step off these grounds
I pass through the trees
I fall to my knees
Is it the mist
Or is it me?

Horror Movies
Oh, I like horror movies
But all my friends are getting murdered
Yeah, I like scary movies
But everyone I know is murdered.
I like horror movies
But all my friends are getting murdered
Am I still allowed to watch Friday the 13th?
Carpenter, Romero, Craven, Argento
Raimi, Peele, and Cronenberg
All look like filler to this genius killer
It’d make a great movie. Am I disturbed?
No, I like horror movies
But all my friends are getting murdered
Yeah, I like scary movies
But everyone I know is murdered.
I like horror movies
But all my friends are getting murdered
Am I still allowed to watch Part 4: The Final Chapter?
I think I have to admit that it feels pretty lit
To be inside a throwback camp slasher
And though now most of my friends have met their violent ends,
It’s not so much of a thrill but a passion
I’m like Randy from Scream
And it’s always been my dream
Smashing through that fourth wall just like
Jamie Kennedy!
Oh, I like horror movies
But all my friends are getting murdered
Yeah, I like scary movies
But everyone I know is murdered.
I like horror movies
But all my friends are getting murdered
Am I still allowed to watch Jason X?

Consider That

Consider That
Who could consider that fun?
I just wanna sit on the dock
And talk
Yeah, drink a couple beers
And forget all our fears about next year
Remember when we were still pure?
Back when we were so unsure
Now we’re wondering-
What. We’re. Gunna. Do.
Let’s not consider that now.
I wanna a perfect vision
No division
Yeah, if we were unified
Then maybe we’d all still be alive?
You know, before this lake was dammed up
I clammed up
But one day the earth will shift.
Yeah. The. Earth. Will. Shift!
Did you consider that, huh?
You should consider that
One day the earth will shift
And when that dam comes down
This lake will be a drip!
Yeah, one day the earth will shift
And when that dam comes down
This lake will be a drip!
But it's all good!
While we’re sitting on the dock
I just wanna talk!
And drink a couple of beers
Forget all our fears about next year
While we’re sitting on the dock
I just wanna talk!
Yeah, and drink a couple of beers
Forget all our fears about next year
If. There. Is. Next. Year.
Did you consider that?

Bleed Black
When all the trees blow in the wind
It’s not the wind at all really
They’re speaking to me
Singing
Good morning, Campers!
This isn’t your regularly scheduled wake-up call, but there really isn’t much left that’s regular, now is there?
I’d like to wish a particularly good morning to Carla, Tom Tom, Heather, and Jamal — who are all making some lasting memories this year!
If only all of us could feel so uninhibited by the camp rules, which are clearly posted all around the site.
Oh, wait a second, silly me!
This announcement is a full four hours premature, but since you’re up.
And if my blood bleeds black
Then I guess that’s that
And if you don’t care, then I guess I understand
But you should watch your back
Dear Mom and Dad,
Camp feels a little different this year.
The sun’s a little hotter, the food’s a little worse, and I wish I were dead.
The other kids say I’m “unsettling” — why didn’t you ever warn me I was so unsettling?
I dunno, but I’m afraid I might do something about it
Love, Your Boy
When all the trees blow in the wind, it’s not the wind at all really, they’re speaking to me, singing
The trees tell me I’m different, special, worthy
Camp feels altogether new this year, the trees don’t want us around
That’s why they mock the other kids with their towering creeks, it’s a threat
Yeah, it’s a threat and I’m the punishment
I’m the punishment

Next Summer
Could it be you’re comin’ round
and I’ll see you next summer?
Or will you disappear back east
And we’ll never be back together?
When the leaves start fallin’
Will you still be callin’?
When school is all-consuming
could our love still be blooming?
Will I see you next summer?
Will I see you next summer?
Ohhhh.

The Point
You have come to the point
You are finally here
Out in the clearing I can sense your fear
You don’t have to be afraid (Living life can make you bitter)
You just have to behave (But you can always reconsider)
And when the trees sing out their song
You’ll dance on my blade or you’ll sing along
I have come to the point
I can finally see
Under the moonlight it’s just you and me
You can never win (Living hell can make you bitter)
You will only kill again (So I can never reconsider)
And when the trees sing out their song
You’ll sleep in the lake or we’ll all be gone
I was so innocent once
This all was meant to be
Deep in a cave somewhere
There’s a picture of you and me
Who could would consider that fun?
All that you've done?
We have come to the point
We can finally end
A new dawn is breaking there is peace again
Sleep well, my friend (Never really did consider)
May you never rise again (How my bones are so brittle)
And when the trees sing out their song
We’ll dance on your grave while we sing along
Oh, what was the point?

Into the Empty
Years from now will they be
Crying out our names
Or will they even know?
She was our soul survivor but will
She survive us
Or will that hurt the chances of our sequel?
And it’s okay if you’re scared ‘cause
god knows I am
But the future is yours to make
No it’s not time to mourn and it’s not
Time to stall
But it is time to leave the lake
Into the empty
Into the ether
Following answers
On your own
This isn’t “goodbye”
It’s “I’ll see you next year”
And for what’s in between there,
You won’t be alone.
Did my mom get my letters?
Why didn’t Dad ever call?
I wish I never set
Foot in this camp at all
Thought things were suppose to get better
If I acted on instinct
Now I have a big axe
Stuck in the side of my skull
Into the empty
Into the ether
Following answers
On your own
This isn’t “goodbye”
It’s “I’ll see you next year”
And for what’s in between there,
You won’t be alone.
You won’t be alone
No you won’t be alone
You won’t be alone
No you won’t be alone
