lyrics

Unshakable faith, tape decks and big faces. Wondering how much of your time has been wasted wondering about the next move down the line; you found a lie to drown in pride. The sound resigns. Liquid drips in from adjacent, familiarly sacred spaces. Relief relates back to the cold source of the mouth. Of course, it’s the force of a doubt that spurs on heavily; swerved on readily. Between Heaven and Hell is nothing but melody, or melancholy; a lack of security that returns every form to raw purity. In a mortuary/estuary…quite a whole lot of flesh to carry on aging bones. Holy nights leave evil days alone, to pray to moan. To realize what it means to be alone. Maybe even what it is to be on your own. Late nights on the phone, dial tones sharp in your ear like the clang of chrome. What do you clamor for? For what do you search? Ain’t nothing here but air and dirt. Care is hurt, but it comes natural like picking which fact to pull out of a hat and then act like it’s actual. Documented, therefore taxable out of your pocket like an amulet. God damns as he scans the drifting dead land cut by a warm hand into rifts because really that hand is a fist, damaging. Be a martyr for yourself with the help of stealth. Because when you think about it, there is not much else. Crossing a bridge made of eyelids sealed like lips. So prepared to live, yet scared to give if it won’t be taken. Growing sideways with raging patience. No place for a face-to-face blind date with Time, Fate, and Amazing Grace. Engage disgrace in a short conversation and learn from the pain like consecration. It doesn’t take a whole lot of contemplation: think of, empty, and drink from every hole in your heart that you could not feel and failed to see was clogged with zeal.
