This dies now all the feelings all the hurt all dead now And for one day or more I will wait for the moon and know when it comes I’ve bled you gone I’ve bled you gone I run blood over my arms and rain soaks my back so that my mind will now erase all you were I bleed you gone I bleed you gone Six foot three of DNA which will never make sense to me
2.
Hello trip what you got there? it’s magic you believe in fairy tales I can’t hear your voice from here Darling close the door or the flowers will dry up it’s time to go back now before it’s too late You believe in fairy tales you hold on to what’s not real Darling close the door or the flowers will dry up suffer the fainter it’s been shaken and she can’t hear you It’s too late, you have been beaten like snakes to dust You believe in fairy tales you believe in what’s not real Darling close the door or the flowers will dry up suffer the fainter it’s been shaken and she can’t hear you Because what you think is really obvious at this point shuffling at your heels and biting like a dog

No black rabbits here no early warning call, the death toll like a lottery jackpot fall And the circus lights blind in blurry eyes not born to run with engine and diesel Claws on stone are torn but I lose every part I fall less eloquent palomino heart I give you everything in a clumsy verse I give you everything tripping over verb I gallop rings round you till the pads of my paws bled and till I am sick and giddy in the head To you I offer hoof and nail and hair and cut off my limbs to fit in your care Across your path the rivers of death and wheel Across your path the rivers of death and wheel
4.
We have a technical problem here because of the storm Low monitor frequency to replace that fine line resin Decree of skeletons in this work station We fought the static and shadow play but we were unarmed No smoke could chase them from here till the light shone through their armour The dead will turn on their heels and fall silent Go eat and take the cold with you Go eat and take the cold with you Damn it these people are automatic, it gets on my nerves Go eat and take the cold with you Go eat and take the cold with you
5.
Let my wings unfurl for I am godly when I am empty These hands tremble a secret homecoming wish but these rag-doll arms are stuffed too full I have come around full circle too face my demons and admit This world has more beauty in it without a sugar calm My clothes hang loose and they will conceal the prize that I hide underneath Four elegant ribs I stretch to see the skin that fits them perfectly I have come around full circle to face my demons and admit This world has more beauty in it without a sugar calm Hollow arching backwards my hipbones will pin the skirts that hang from me A clotheshorse with a racing animals pulse too week to run a race I just want to fade effortlessly I just want to fade effortlessly
