The cold cuts by inches and life by miles. Time runs through glasses grain by grain and you can't stop a single one. They just get faster. They go faster. Everything slips and slides through your fingers. It just goes away. It all runs down. Runs into that chamber you can't reach. You try to hold onto one thing. Try to hold on to one minute or second and it's gone.

I dreamt of death and dust and desert sand choking every green growing thing upon the land. I dreamt of incineration radiation and it came for us all as we attempted evacuation burning us to a charred glassy gleam. I dreamt of the stars, the wild burning, tumbling, churning stars. I dreamt of the mountains of the moon which glimmered white in our doom. I dreamt of all the things we tried to stop. I dreamt of the end. I dreamt of long long ages of nothing, of death silent and slow, of endless night under clouds of ash, of time stood still because there was no one and nothing to mark it as it passed. I dreamt of all this. I dreamt of less than this. I dreamt of dying not just once, and not just me, not just you or we, but everything dying as a whole.

Never let me go into that night without saying goodbye
 never let me die in death
we dream away our lives and
I never want to wash away this one
never let me stop you from leaving
goodnight goodbye
never let me hold you back
from what you need
never let me stop you
never say I didn't tell you
never leave me in the dark cold
and Dead and rotten
never let me go that way
never put me in an old folks home
 without you
never tell me you don't remember
how we met or who I am
never let me die inside you
never let the knots loosen
the strings fray the knuckles buckle
and knees weaken shoulders give
and bend
never weep for me
in a church that's where
God visits only on Sundays
never bury me in a grave
never hold me down
I want to blow away with the wind
but with you
never scatter me without you
never put me in the ground
without you
never put me down
never taunt me or tease me
and please don't release me
our lives are nothing
but a joyous sound
never tell me I didn't say I love you.
I love you.

Hearted

Hoped and held and hefted and hucked and heated and harrowed and hollowed and heaved and hewn and heavy and healed and hafted and hated and hastened and helped and halted and hulked and happy and hinted and heaped and hurt and halfed and whole.

Light the fire build the pyre darling let me hear you sing.
Tonight's no lighter still the fire's crackling hear it brings.
I'm a sigher, nothing's dire, fates got me in a back swing
Roll the tires, heart grow brighter, the road calls me in spring.
Widening gyre highest flier that's my spirit soaring.
Building higher to the sky or to the stars eclipsing

Need a job
get a job
I need a job

woooo hooo hooo hoooo

Need a job
get a job
I need a job

If I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take.

If I die before I sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I die before you tonight I pray the Lord finds my soul a delight.

If I die before the morning light I pray the Lord makes this sound right.


Let's fuck. Let's scream. Let's carve our names in an old oak tree and light the flames and burn that fucker down. I've been all around. I've seen your Ma, saw your Pa, don't you worry now that I'm back in town. And everybody loves a boxer's story. Everybody loves a morning glory. I'm the sort who'll get hit for money. I'll go down in the third round, tell me before the fourth. I'll hit that mat with a thump and a splat. I'll spray my blood. I'll come round. I'll stay there on the ground. I'll black my eyes. I'll be the one you lionize. I am thunder. I am flash. I am a thief in the night, come back round to steal your spine. I'm a ghost. I'm a ghoul. I'm the man who lost this duel. I'm a spirit. I'm a haint. I'm the devil, the blight, the taint. I'm a secret. I'm a sin. I'm the one who let you in. I am quiet. I am calm. I'm the eye of the storm. I'm a leaf on the wind. I'm a pile, a pit of sin. Drop me. Heal me. Kill me. Feel me. Beat me like a heart. Beat. Beat. Beat. Let's you and me settle that old score. Don't you dare call my mother a whore. I'll fight you. I'll kill you. I'll tear you down. Crucify me. Purify me. Nail me up and cut me down. Make me wear a bloody crown, of thorns and roses and bleed me dry. I'll be the one with eyes alight, until I die. Fire in them. Fire in the dark. I'm a flame. I dance. I sing, you can't bend me. I'm the wind. I'm the devil. I'm a sin. I'm the one who let you in.
