spit and suck and sew and go
pluck those eyes before they grow
he has blinded me
don't let him touch you
don't let him in your whispering head
he may stop the whispers dead
he may reach his cold, cold hand
in and out and out again
pulling out your every wave
pull out your curls, be saved!
i'm sick and bald now
stuck to the floor
his hand upon me
gasp for breath!
too much too late to
talk this out and too much too late
to hope for doubt
too much too late for rising spouts
hot air rises, so does your mouth
lips so full they could devour
lips so full they cannot flower
we don't need you here
your words play no games
i have nothing save
a simple solution
tie his wrists behind his back
and let him roll onto the plaque
dirty water for dirty bouts
dirty water for just this route
can you get up?
no, i have your ankles in a bind
but can you feel it?
are you sure your legs
are there
at all?
can you get up?
can you call out your name?
where have your lips gone?
is anything here the same?
torn and pitched and ripped apart
slowly fighting from the start
losing steam and losing feet
listen to him cry defeat!
what have you accomplished?
disappointed?
didn't i play the game just like you wanted?
didn't i adhere to rules you set to dominate
the fools, haven't you seen enough
haven't your eyes been starved of love?
can't you just promise
that you won't show your face again?
can't you just stay away?
can't you just promise
to never love again?
spit and chew and suck those out
place them on the floor and out
upon the maze of old cracked wood
and a dusty maze
why can't i phase you?
what kind of armor can you wear?
how heavy have you been?
how dare you stare!
ill rip those eyes out your head
and place them on the floor
rip them through the patches
of dirty little whores
diseased! isn't that what you are?
a simple problem, a simple lack of feeling
can't your promise
i'll never hear your name again?
can't your promise to ring this dead?
can't you throw in your towel
swear "never again?"
say it again!
what can i say here?
im feeling empty all the time
i've had my fill
but out spill more rhymes
i cannot end this
a chronic simple play
orpheus has the main role
i've written this my way
wait till you see how he descends
into hell and out again
lord of the underworld my shin!
take her outside, don't look back
the cloak of darkness cuts no slack
no slips or slides or any silly pride
before the end comes i promise we will ride
forever again, on the train, on a train
away again. so far away, im drifting once more
i can't believe i ever left this place
so many stars and so many planes
high above
in an expanse of sky
seems like montana
seems like 1989
seems like im home
seems like im in a van
seems like we're travelling
seems like...i've just began
shrink again and cut your pretty hair
your pretty fair
a face, only radio could love you
a grace, just don't stop walking
up and down your aisles
up and down your island of fear
place your hands in the sand
and open up your tears
upon the muddy water dew
a person i found just like you
and he spoke to me
open his eyes to me
and the orange the red
its all stuck in my head
and the careful secrets are all so vivid
so remarkably memorable
so remarkably rigid
i could have colored outside lines
i could have tried
i could have tried to get to you
pull you out of water, cold
open my arms to wear away
the blanket in your lap
kept you freezing for just too many months
i can't stand to see you in a ditch
pitched among the many million crazy
folks waiting for a lift.
can't you see i'm in love with you
and your crazy ass witch? can't you
see i'm in love with your ever
single bliss!?
can't you see again?
i'm in love with you
i can't come close again
but i want you
ill be there soon enough
the summer this year will be of love
this is not enough
but i can survive until then
i can wait here
for the summer to appear
