well it s finally time for this makeshift and rhyme and misery she hides the unwanted unwind and listenin in colors and significant others just by and the voiceless debate when the clock s face is straight just echoes these pale bathroom walls where i wait but all this white silence is better than violence for now and for every redressing that discounted blessings seems every lost kid got some diction to guessing but back washed malt liquor never tasted much sicker than now and the blunt broken poets too uknown not to know it upon their illusions in brains where i stow it here s my hosanna not a moment of plannin tonight cause heard by this light anything could sound right reflections of truth through the vaccuum night but these words are still nothing but a bullshit kid bluffing for now and still undiscovered in a riptide of lovers some someday away we wait for each other where cause is the means all my flaws go unseen unlike now so i m calling out to you a memory once you knew now seems so deformed both so wrong and so true and i frighten the virtues of a person like you who just wrestles in bed with every thought of the head if i wake here tomorrow i won t be the same and i can t let you watch me just wastin my brain but baby be kind to what i leave behind anyhow

i might not make it home so don t set a plate for me our department s been getting slim since the comebacks in marketing put your pictures on my desk i m wearing the sweater you made so give the girls a kiss for me tell them daddy s working late the worst thing that she ever said to me was the first thing that she ever said to me i was all alone at happy hour she thought i could use some company it s strange we re strangers i might not make it home i guess i ve used than line before my excuses are wearing thin and you patience is getting worse you re always fast asleep when i sneak into be at night or at least that s how it seems it seems we ll do anything to hide the lie the worst thing you could ever say to me could be the last thing that you ll ever say to me i can see you boxing up the kitchen with the girls beside you wrapping dishes don t be a stranger you don t have to say a word you don t have to make excuses you don t have to change for me we ll continue on as strangers you don t have to say a word you don t have to make excuses you don t have to change for me we ll continue on as strangers stranger than strangers

gather round you wounded people shadows fall upon the steeple soon shall come the closing of the closing of the gates for there is word of plague among us curse the one whose poison stung us all along the alleyways the satyrs wait their fate but who s to blame when all are guilty morals stained and conscience filthy abreast your idol replicas your replicas of lust in the sky i hear the threshing dare to watch your lord undressing while you beg forgiveness you feed on his disgust but if perhaps the salt might stain your skin and if perhaps the smoke might weep your eyes listen while the threnodies begin know no one in here gets out alive but let your frailty not deceive you a little pinprick rest relieves you and dream of all the days that are the years that are to come for you will dance and you ll be nimble pirouettes upon a thimble and i will be beside you lest i lose you once again but if perhaps my sorrows all are show and i should find a crack among the gates guilt shall follow me where er i go though i try i know i can t escape and when you re gone the earth will crumble i will try but i will stumble and all through these city streets my robes shall drag the ground hear the children swing with sorrow yesterday was once tomorrow no more i ll be troubled by the troubles of this world but if i lose my step along the way and if the speech of victim fills my throat out beyond the cliffs that shape the day it s there i ll wander there i ll stray it s there i ll look for you when all my trials are done i feign sleep to save my breath this love is loss this life is theft and all that s left is some vain need to carry on and though i fear the tightening of the skies against the dawn i ll watch you rise oh lord the company i keep within my head the scent of flesh might tease the nose it claims the calm it clings the clothes could that be you my love your dust upon the wind 1
