i flipped from a car
it split the road in two
i felt something pass by
made me feel brand new
now i'm standing on a corner
eyes kicked back in my head
nothing breathing in the picture
but the calling of a wolf
the air is kinda rotten
rotten like a fire's been through
last thing that i remember
i was calling out to you
i hear a girl sing..
you stalk my head too
as my brain seems to gather
to a memory or an echo
of you saying nothing else matters
i'm walking here in this dim light
it makes a fire of the soul
i can taste a little leather
leather as the air gets cold
and the girls sing..
i want the sun in the sky now
the rain was all i ever felt on my head
and what gathered in the distance
gathered north, east, south and west
like a shadow staggers in a headlight
it could be easy just to crawl into the next life
bold as a boy can be
the military standing on the sidewalk looking at me
just raising my arms to a chromatic sky
looking for a weapon while the devil rides high
or a way, a way
to move into the next life
a shot cracks in a valley of fire
in my head is a picture. built to decay
of everything i ever had falling away
i'm burning so fast
like a newborn star
hearing nothing but a voice just breaking my heart
saying 'boy, you're bound by what you can't control,
you'll see it in the daylight,
and find you're waiting for your will to bend.'
