Another song for the Autumn...
A ditty for the pretty things that couldn't stay
Seems ******* silly not to smoke 'em all while ya got 'em.
Gotta find fine shoes
when you choose the run-away
Another song for the Autumn...
A ballad for the beauty that I couldn't frame.
Seems pretty stupid not to **** it all; what's not rotten.
But the world's grown tired of singing
And my throat's been beginning to get
real sore.
Shot our shots in the dark with some
feeling.
Felt sure that we missed,
but we don't know what we hit
A million pieces, unseen, and bare feet
on the hard, cold floor
Been pretty quiet all Winter.
It's blizzard after blizzard, hugged by static months.
Feels kinda funny keeping warm while all nature's freezing
Chatter teeth 'til they crack—
cracking bad jokes to no one
'til the sky stops teasing
me.
Been pretty quiet this Winter.
Been sliding over sidewalks, slugging static shots.
Feels sorta futile not to kiss it all long forgotten
But this throat's grown tired of singing
And the world's been beginning to go
stark deaf.
Still shoot my shots in the dark with a
feeling
Sure I'll only miss.
What would I do if it hit?
A ricocheted round and two feet
meet ground after theft.
I know I'll be nursing this one
for a while—
Lick the sour wound while the
daylight fades.
So hit the **** dimmer on your way
out the door.
I'll be fine in the gloam
'til you find your way home...
I'll be fine in the dark we
shot into.
Pour another one, sweets, in the
endless cup.
I'll be fine in the dim, with my
separated skin,
until the Springtime comes and I can
sew this ****** up.
