stubbornly solemn under three soft satellites
suckling sweet silver while wind gathers the hot night
together in seven rows to her everything
is genuine it's childlike get herself killed a ring
on her sewing sweaty finger a chokehold on her soul
the optimists in us both died bloody deaths by
dull disembowelment on a dark days dawn and i
watched the shards of glass tumble down in rosy glint
i thought we were smarter than this
but there was some fluke in the lilys biology
that let it bloom much brighter under alien sky
and no one could figure out why

bore you no ill will, bear with their cubs
born with no ill will, taught out of love
but the conditioning broke like lightning smashed down an oak
when i was thirteen years old and it was luck i've been told
it didn't down down our house leavin even a mouse
it's the same thing beyond touch that gives us compassion such
bore you no ill will, bear with their cubs
born with no ill will, taught not to love
if yours learned too deep and if yours wasn't right
come climb out your rooms window come walk into the night
and the one with the pouch that carries hers on her back
with so much love for her young that she refuses to crack
under conditions that would destroy kill any other
kneel before naked tail and accept the twice mother

you were more sensitive than usual
on certain parts of your body
i liked that
heard he was limber, susceptible to the cruel
on certain parts of his body
he liked that
hi if i were to sit down and get a coffee with you
i don't know what i would do
i don't know what i would say
we did embarrassing shit in the old days
bum a smoke? oh i don't smoke. anymore
i remember when we were such carnivores

fire is one way / to get your point across
hell, man i grayed out / politic motocross
from a shangri-la stay / to anhedonia
arson is one way / to enact utopia
lost until you're found / i know i know this way
cowards can't relate / a so and stowaway
doomed you to an awful fate / they can go fuck themselves
doomed you to a police state / they can go fuck themselves
o god you know what i
want to be forsaken by the men with their eyes to their iron sights
and we must feed our comrades or else die
and we must be comrades or else die

the night is gentle
the night brings storms
the night gathers them up in its pull
the night is warm
the night is thankful
the night of no straight form
the night makes me feel my soul
and i've got voices in my head
and the only thing that makes them go
is blasting ipod
born to run
but i can't be listening to springsteen every second of every day
every day there must rise
bright hard blinding morning sun
and every lie they try to tell me
makes me want to break something
(you'll never get to where you were
you'll spend yr lifetime reaching for the ring)
yeah but i got somewhere new to be
and i tell you it'll be worth it if you'd just see
(that is, if you get there at all
yr hubris sets you up for a mythic tragic fall)
but it's night and all the lights are out
and cicadas they all scream and shout
i don't care and i'm not scared
my mistakes are my burden to bear

there was a single moment trapped in a picture
last remnant of the old world given me as i sit there
blurry or small but it's full of emotion
a place for many turned lonely a lack of motion
they were in a place with thin dry walls
life's quest given to them at the end of the fall
alone as they were nothing in the nation there
down in the new world you never have to cut your hair
there were colors many squares so convoluted
anything seems arcane with time one can understand like you did

take away
take you away
"I know you know you can't
can't you take your eyes off me?"
severed your limbs
and heart
child make you bleed.
with the word the servant heard: another burnt, a man of fate
I licked my lips that when summer turned all my friends would stop hesitating
I love you darling, I love you so and no one can ever know
but I loved you darling, I love you so
even you can never know.

you
you know i felt like a diamond
cracked
down a facet
and you
you were the jeweler
to polish it up
but you slipped, smashed it
i
i know you meant no harm
but I’ve been so lonely
id forgotten what love felt like
a solemn reminder
that what i would find there
i know who i am and its so unlike
but you’re so far now
you’re with her now
and thats fine
id forgotten where i drew that old line
I
i know i knew it was over
fast
long enough for the message to send
and i
i was ok with it
i’m better off alone anyway
hey at least we’re still friends
you
you didn’t mean to rub it in my face
but you did anyway
but i won’t say anything
