Holy rot. I cover the street.
Breaking, breaking.
Loose glass, filling with blood.
Teeth on the pavement.
Teeth in the sky.
I’m sick of these smiles.
Blood flowing laughter.
The body turned inward.
Crossing a river.
What connects me to you?
The hunger. The horror.
The wretched maw of time.
laughing through the pavement glass breaks and the ocean rises bones teeth hair stupid smiling faces thursday night the earth is flooding but the children run fingers through empty palms cans runoff spoiled dirt faces pressed into the earth like bottle caps dead birds wrapped in ******* and oil drinking black bourbon death puking why ******* why wrists pills exhaust fumes rope around the neck no wonder life wastes through itself in this post-ironic age

I wish that you were here
Because tomorrow I'm going to cry
I'll try to hold it in
But I'll be fighting inside
So I wish that you were
Because... does there have to be a reason why?
I can already feel tomorrow's burden
Something feels deprived
I just wish you were here
Because I feel hollowed out tonight
All I want is to talk again
But you're still too far during these times
Why can't you be here?

Take the gun from off your back and shoot down the wild birds from the sky
They come easily if you wait
If you wait
When my ankles swell with the storms
You carry me over your shoulder like the corpse of a Canadian goose
I am your prize
You've blown a bullet through my aching bones and I am your prize
It was a terrible day yesterday
When my dear Aunty pam passed away
She was diagnosed with lung cancer and she never smoked
And she was a nice lady
And she looked after everyone she knew
She was there for everyone
It will be a Shame she isn't going to be around to see her grandkids grow up
But the thing is death happens
There isn't much you can do about it
Pam pam pam
We will miss you as you pass
Through the life cycle
And we saw that you were willing to live life to the full
And may your next life
Be just as fruitful as this life was
Pam pam pam
See you and don't forget
To send us a message in death
As you would in life

you think I laid my life
down for you
it was my sacrifice
nothing to do with you

it was me getting back
at my old man
I was the only one
who could foil his plans

and you think
I saved your lives
with my sacrifice

but you see
I didn't really die
my friends came and saved me
in the dead of night

don't get me wrong
my dad was ******
he was swearing he'd be back
and he was shaking his fist

here we are now
I tell you he's back
and everyone here
gonna feel his wrath

this time there's nothing
that I can do
cause this time it's also
between me and you
