Persounds

i thought of you this morning when i was stood up for lunch

and i drove by your neighborhood

but that house is emptier than even my stomach

now churning, and up to no good

 

and it's not from the food

(or the lack of it all)

but a process now picking up pace

a cancerous longing,

a wish left to waste

a silence

a rage

now taking it's place

 

 

 

well, i've been spendin my time just walkin the streets

and making friends with all the dumb insects i meet

and the moths have been asking me for a light

and i know i'll oblige them, it's not worth the fight

and they're swarming around me, every which way

and just blocking my visions, aiding decay

and their suckers make shapes, yeah they pierce like a knife

and it kills me to tell em

you're not part of my life

anymore.
