Eat your crumpled sweater
Drink sweat from in my mind
Close up all those new ideas
And still feel empty inside
Do not sit beside me
Do not claim my time
I've never had your gifts or treasures
But I'd give them up for empty rhymes
Open up my final will
And read between the lines
Or cross crooked through the origin of bellyaches and sighs
Heal my laughter
Ringing chimes
A thousand equals zero
And nothing that is mine
Who would know what started in sadness would finish like a bee in a bottle of wine?
Trying to tempt our ticking time
Gold and silver rusting
Today I crawled through a broken fantasy
And looked for light on every side
Do not say you'll try to love me;
we both believe you when you lie
