Spring 2011

lyrics

There are lines in the pavement that you can’t see.

I’ve been thinking,

if I walk long enough

to move the earth under my feet

if you step right

there’s some possible way I might just step just right and fall through a crack in the sidewalk.

The floors are so cold and the wind is in my broken bones,

I am carried and I float and I fall

and I fall

and I lay and I writhe

and falling and falling and falling is flying

yes means no

and I fly on wings of time.

Let the lightning of my wisdom put out their eyes.

I have the wings of a messenger’s but I’ll only show you what you don’t want to see.

Standing blood in lakes putrid and tepid and frothing in the streets of compressed souls and narrow chests,

sticky finger inside insipid ulcerous scribbling scream-throats festering Truth clings disgusted to your mouth unable to enter.

I am a dangerous saint, and you will die in my laughter.

I know too well what I am capable of, so I know what not to do.

I’ve done many things and not lived in a lot of ways; if you really wanna go somewhere I suggest not sleeping for four or five days.

When it rains I fall on you.
Whenever it rains I fall on you.
Every time it rains I fall on you.

And I will lie down and laugh to death.
