lyrics

dragged through the mud, rising.
there was once a fire in your heart,
now choked free of oxygen.
embers settle on your cheeks

breaking in a broken body,
my decade falling on fallow soil.
love in a waiting room,
with tissue burned and boiled.

take this bitter water
as if i’d really strayed.
i’ll gather light and hold it at my heart
then shed it in showers

feathers fastened by a blanket rust
from the attic, fall and stumble.
what’s another year of nothing
but something deserved

i consoled you when your teeth met asphalt
i tried to catch you on your way down,
but your weight broke my arms
like a great tree that fell, but no rocks shuddered.

though you are gone
i still feel you late at night
when i close my eyes

no clairvoyants needed
anyone could see
the end of this story
from miles away.
it all came to an end
on this concrete slab
in a pool of blood and sulfur
