Rickety raggedy lost boy beating off laughing at his face in a spoon
Same lame gamers in your sister’s basement breaking ties with the animal world.
An unspoken curse but the pain is real
Your brother and his girlfriend behind the wheel
Shatter proof glass on the passenger side covered in red and the moons blue light
On the curb with a blanket and your blood shot eyes
Now you’re stepping in the river into waist high water let the current take it all away
Radiant graceless clear and empty see the cheerleaders up on the rail
The beautiful sage of the anti-gods applies color to a press on nail
The lights flash blue and red all night your cousin laid out under ghostly white
Empty bottle on the backseat floor filled with dreams from a forgotten shore
And your heart left open like a bedroom door
But now you’re stepping to the shoulder and the wind grows colder let the current take it all away
Seas rise soft and silent countries shed their garments love lies very deeper deeper deepest can you find me?
In the southern branch of the energy center that resides within my throat
Theres a string bean lost by grinning sideways drowning in his coat
A blood filled skull and a curved knife held by his mother daughter lover wife
Seen in a dream that’s half a life
That shatters as he wakes and he shakes his head
He knows star crossed lovers always wake up dead
But he feels the cold world just spinning instead
Now you’re stepping in the river into waist high water let the current take it all away
