IF ONLY I COULD CONTAIN THE FUNCTION AND GRIEF
BORN A PINT LOW. I BOW DOWN AT THE BAR FOR ONE MORE ROUND. THE ONLY SHAPE I'LL PRAY TO. THIS IS NOT A RESIGNATION. I BEAR UPON THIS COPULATING ODD FUTURE. I ONLY STAY BECAUSE I LOVE THIS LIFE MORE THAN I LOVE THE OTHER. THESE CLAIMANT TIMES ARE NOT CHANGING AND THESE ARE UNMAGNIFICENT LIVES WE LIVE HERE IN THE DARK.

BATHE IN HOLLOW CRIES. A SOFT DISTORTION OF THE HEART. IT FELT LIKE CUTTING THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. CAN WE GO BACK TO HAGNESTA HILL? IT WILL ALWAYS BE A SPECIAL PLACE TO ME.

THE UNIVERSE HAS BROUGHT ME HERE TO DIE. THERE'S A SUPERPOWER MAN. A GOD OF MY IMAGE. A KNIFE TO SMITE AND TO PROTECT ALL THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN.

I WAS ON STAGE WATCHING THEM IN A SEA OF MODERN MOVEMENTS. SWALLOWED IN SHADOWS IN THIN BRUISED AIR. THINKING HERE, THERES LIGHT IN YOUR OLD HOUSE AND ITS COLD OUT. THE SNOW SEEMS LIKE ITS HUNG. A PERFECT PLACE TO BE. IN YOUR CITY THERES NO USE IN FIGHTING. ITS A PLACE WHERE EVERY 90s HIT PLAYS. WE WENT OUT WALKING WITHOUT RUINING OUR LIVES AND WE FOUND A CEMETERY IN MY BODY. WE PROMISED WE WOULD FIND EACH OTHER IN THE NEXT LIFE. NO MATTER WHICH GATE. I HELD UP THE NEXT SONG FOR A DRINK, PRECIPITOUS AND KEEN. THE SONG BEGAN AND I FELL INTO IT. MISSING NOTES AND THINKING HERE, HELP ME IM IN TROUBLE. IF YOU CALL, ILL COME TO YOU.

OUT OF THIS ALLOY OF DRINK AND SPECULATION, I COMMENCED TO FORGE THE WEAPON THAT ONE DAY WOULD TURN IN ITS FLIGHT LIKE A BOOMERANG AND ALL BUT CUT ME TO RIBBONS.

I LIVED IN SAN FRANCISCO FOR A SPELL WHERE THERE WAS SAFETY IN NUMBERS. IT'S HARD TO TELL BUT I HAVE FRACTIONS OF A DESIRE AND THERE WILL BE ANOTHER FIGHT I'M SURE. JUST TO KEEP THE STORY ALIVE.

THESE DAYS I DONT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DRESS MYSELF AND I CANT WALK WITHOUT HELP. I CANT REMEMBER DAYS. YOULL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT I DID TO GET HERE. I STARE AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS. GARLANDED AROUND THE TOILET WITH BLOOD IN MY MOUTH AND BLOOD BREACHING MY EYELIDS. IT TASTES LIKE A CAR CRASH WASHED IN A VIOLENT VIOLET AND CRAWLING INTO A SOILED BED. I HAVE YET TO MAKE PEACE WITH IT ALL. IM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE THOUGH, BUT IN THE END WE ALL GO OUT THE SAME.

I LOOK QUIETER THAN I FEEL THESE DAYS. MY THOUGHTS HAVE BECOME UNDISCIPLINED AND ITS EFFORTLESS LIKE PEOPLE TIRED OF WAITING. OR LAUGHING IN THE AFTERLIFE. ITS A NEFARIOUS MOMENT SO BIG I CANT HOLD IT. FULL OF PURE NOISES AND A LASTING OF FIRES THAT WILL LOOSEN THE AIR. IN THE NEAR DISTANCE THERES A MELANGE OF HALF HEARTED FUCK YOUS. BUT I DONT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE WORLD TONIGHT. I JUST WANT TO SLEEP WITH A SMILE TONIGHT. HOPING THE DAM WILL BREAK SOON, AT LEAST THEN ILL KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO.

I CAME TO A PLACE IN MY HEART AND THERE I WAS, IN A CAGE WITH A HUNGRY CREATURE. HE APPROACHED WITH SPEED AND VERACITY. YOU CAN’T BE TOO CAREFUL SO I SUMMONED MY ASCENSION BEING (ITS GONNA BE OKAY!). HE SAID “TOGETHER WE KILL IT LIKE WE HAVE NO SHAME. KILL IT FOR YOUR SELFISH WAVE. WE KILL IT LIKE WE DON’T GIVE A DAMN. WE KILL IT TO FEEL COMPLETED WITHIN. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CHATTER. SOME KIND OF HELL TO BE PAID. EVEN WHEN WE MISS THE MARK WE’RE KILLING IT. AND WE ARE MADE OF THINGS HE CAN’T BREAK.”
