lyrics

Learning my lover left
long gone and far away
too late to apologize
for blood spilled and colder eyes

Cobblestone roadways
they felt like the last time
we spoke aloud to ourselves
the taste of your neck to sell

off all the garden gnomes
flesh lingered on telephones
to speak of the absences
the lonely dark masochists

Integrate self control
and all that you’ll get
is a sad hungry peasant boy
with three little house chores

to occupy his peasant time
and make room for schooling
too late for optimal
education down the hall

she waits for me desperately
or desperate to leave
to run and to bury me
to change with the falling leaves

Fall off and separate
mitotic spindle of
tearing your life apart
sweating you slowly start

to panic and beat your head
against all the cobblestone
lifetimes of your blood spilled
all along the bones were split

in half as your body broke
against all the cobblestone
and all the bystanders watched
just then your mother thought

that she’d find you safe in bed
with curtains shut and eyes dead
from heroin overdose
lost in your comatose

but instead she found you
alive barely breathing
another failed life attempt
another emasculate

nobody asked for this
love that you gave them
in fact no one wanted it
all of us thought of it

as misplaced affection
your hate redirected
at the ones who didn’t bite first
arrogance lost in a burst

of aggravated assault
against those who were close enough
to hit with your whipping stick
now all we think of it

is nothing much anymore
back to our lonely chores
and doing the things we know
all of us let you go

off of your ledge that night
yeah we all knew it
but none of us thought of you
not people or newspapers too

so goodbye my only love
you take half me with you
but I just can’t leave this place
not since I’ve seen your face
