night life
the only time
fuck
fuck the dead end sign
shit-head father
wait
don’t go
don’t go don’t go I’ll wait outside
and talk
and memorize
and memorize
a circle with no way
out of here
and never pass
and never pass
each other

The birds call through the darkness and it reaches to my cell
Keep fingering the pills out of their bottles till they’re gone
We’re hollow-eyed in the dark halls with no windows to look out
They’re watching all our mind-games and they’re writing them all down
They laugh at how my mind knows that I’ve heard my mother’s call
When my heaven is above me and it swindles the poor dawn
Which shines so whitely without a cup of instant smile
He’ll get his oh his blood in blood out for the cause
I tremble while my mind aches but they tell me it does good
The serum in my body unlike water moves me slow
It holds me till I’m under its spell and its control
And then I start to wonder why I can’t hear those birds no more

It gets dark
away from
away away away away
and more
or less every day
another nother nother nother night
another nother night
Mire in the holy water
who’s laying on the alter?
and my neck has not been carved of sacred wood
made of flesh and ether neath the hanging sun
lay still
it gets dark across from
there’s blood and dirt and grime and lust
and song is one that I will keep
another nother nother nother night
another nother night
check your every little thought
leave it there for it to rot
and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh
to love and hold and hide
to love and hold and hide
love and hold and hold and hold and hate
you will wait
tie three knots
moon is full
moon is full
grieved her heart
spoke the words
never hold
never hold
Mire in the holy water
who’s laying on the alter?
and my neck has not been carved of sacred wood
made of flesh and ether neath the hanging sun

In the hollow of the counter
manifest a silent demand
fell on the floor the rest forgotten
pleasure stained his empty hand
you feed the fast, the breath that’s baited
its gone and travelled to some glass
the brief motion, the hand moved under
a gesture towards some other past
you didn’t ask me what I came for
I didn’t know which way to fold
waited on by hands that lift up
and grab and grab and feel too cold
arrest these eyes that wander
return them to your captor
take a handful I will harm none
your soft will is no other’s
arrest these eyes that wander
return them to your captor
take a handful I will harm none
your soft will is no other’s
you didn't ask me for it
you’d like to see me dying on the floor
you didn’t ask me for it
you’d like to see me dying on the floor
you didn’t pay for it
I’d like to see you dying on the floor

Hand It Over

am I strong enough?
am I ready for?
is my hand enough?
all the ways and the costs
am I resolute?
am I liable?
hand it over
hand it over
will you warn me if I go?
are the sunsets over now?
and it appears in the window
and I become every inch of
in the graveyard tell me now
either willing or forgotten
and I can’t tell
if the hum on the wall is
bored or not
and I can’t place it
shaved my bones oh what’s enough
feel it there both sides at once
and days played out
I’m sorry for
the weight of all days on earth
