Hell & Malfunction

Japanese women, real women, they have not forgotten. Or German women in the doorway, or even beetles from Sian. What will you have, bending and smiling, and closing wounds that men have made. But American women will kill you just like they tear a lampshade. American women care less
than a dime. They've gotten derailed. They're too nervous to make good. Always smiling, bellyaching, disillusioned, overrun, but, oh Lord say the Japanese women... There was this one...
One night I fell
Rolled over, caught some good air home
Above a deep, ferocious hillside
Hell and malfunction
We know, need, feel, want
We grow it in our mind's sun
To all feed someone
Save all from their mountains
Save all from their drowning
Save all from their endless nights
Their suicides
So then I sink
In slow motion, can't hold my breath long
In water's deep aloha half-smile
It's swim or be sunken
And know there's no one to get me out
From under
So help me someone
Save all from their mountains
Save all from their drowning
Save all from their endless nights
Their suicides
Save all from their mountains
Save all from their drowning
Save all from their restless nights
Their suicides
A no-win in no light, in no pain, it ain't right
Make that strap tight, take my air away, make my chest ache
I will stay awake, I will think of love, think of truth
Think of why I never really said enough
I never won, I never showed enough
I fucking never had a run and it's too late now
One night in hell
I strolled outside, a breath of sweet air
Cold, in bare wet feet, I know I've woken
It's got to mean something
Save all from their mountains
Save all from their drowning
Save all from their sadness
Save all from their ranting
Save all from their silence
Save all from their grounding
Save all from their endless nights
Their suicides
