Stumble

so i stumble through the streets
looking in dumpsters for treats
searching for some humanity in all this fucking calamity
how much money would i need to see a doctor
when i got the liquor store around the corner
how many pills would i need to feel ok
deranged nihilistic tendencies
like the carcinogenic air we breathe
deranged nihilistic tendencies
slowly killing me
everyday it gets easier
to drown deeper
i'd rather puke every morning
than take a pill every night

scarred hands moving upwards
in tired desperation
at buttons and clasps
and that song that was playing just right
every note makes me feel insane
your hands dug out trash
too rough on my skin
the reason i let you in
we smelt so pretty
this perfect mix of country and city
and in your eyes i see screaming
reverberating
from every place that should be safe
and there's certain songs i write just for you
but they'll never be heard
a single word
they get caught somewhere between my teeth and my tongue
that same place that we would hold our breath
right before we'd come
they've all disappeared out over the ocean anyway
reflected only in opalescent shocks of silver and grey
in that place where you left me screaming to nothing but waves and sky
like a witch wounded and rejected surrounded by the smell of unknown fauna that remind me of a place i used to know
and i hear how my voice has changed to shivers and shakes
as i spit curses at the end of my world and wonder how i got that way
but these bloodied ears still hear your laugh the few times this past year it's been sincere
and the weight of my toes drifing through the water
was as deft as the flicking of your line
and i know we're still there somewhere moving in time
and i'll always go home
but you never will
wait
i used to know you
and the weight of my toes drifting through the water
was as deft as the flicking of your line
we're still there moving in time
and in your eyes i see screaming
reverberating
from every place that should be safe
and i
i used to know you

Eulogy

beautiful red sky burn out my eyes
last image em-blazed on my mind
waves of ice free my toes
let them grow cold
and grains of sand like shards of glass on bare feet
i feel so small
nothing nothing at all
to this great lake
waves of ice free my toes
let them grow cold
and your brothers and sisters
are weeping and dying
to decompose into your embrace
in the end
to leave the world of men
and here i stand
a witch in the willows
who can only do so much
one last step in
wide open lungs
and here i stand a witch in the willow
who can only do so much
one last step in
wide open lungs
one last step in
freed of sin

everything fucking sucks
don't even got 20 bucks
so i think ill spend my last $5
on some cheep beers
is that the wind
or rolling thunder
to take me in
fuck showering tonight
i don't want that fluoride on my skin
is that the wind or rolling thunder
or valkyries to take me in
no i won't die
i will stay and suffer
i won't go
i wont die i'll keep up a fight
i'll stay and suffer
is that the wind or rolling thunder
don't take me in
i won't die i'll stay and suffer
until i'm just a shadow
no i wont go
