Life Lost

Stop screaming let me take this

Let me take all of this

The pills, the hate, the damnation

The poor abducted life-lost

Sad, sorry gone demolished

And broken

He was gone

She was gone

We were gone

And I left

I left us all to crawl out of this rough, rusty haze

I dreamt of murder

Muddled, fleshy, pink and bruised

I’m telling you it’s my fault

And yet I’m telling me it isn’t anybody’s

Let the dark deep black suck in all the light

And surround me completely

Let the stark steep slate block me out

And hit me so sweetly

So hit me up

While I hit it up

And light it, and burn it, and break it

Break hearts not dance

I’m opposite action in the worst possible way

But babe I’m moving and cycling and whatnot

And all the while I’m spin-spinning into oblivion

Where I will meet my mismatch of behavior

And sin-sin my way out of this lost-life
