lyrics

the weight of the world, white
achromatic stacks
palpable or not
has grown too heavy
where once it laid
threadbare and heaving
begging for a break
from fingers touch
now appeals to ballpoint
yearning in low light
breast exposed
an ill heart stirring
for any small grace;
an affect, in effect
burning

please don't look at me like that
i have nothing left to give to you
this is the last tattoo for now
until i've thought things through

(you are) so handsome
and that's the problem
you couldn't keep yours still
and I couldn't keep mine off
your throat, a worry stone
tempered out of gold
of goose down and sweet pulp
even though the flesh is just a halfway home
built for our eternal souls
don't bury it alone
don't bury me alone

if there is something to be said
it will be said
if there is something here to say
it should be here any day
any day now

this empire's lost
for now
until then
lay down the pen
and rest with me
just for a second
or forever more
my heart is skipping
to the beat of silence
ringing in my ears
and the dripping of
our blood on the floor
sada and kichi
together always
and the lessons have
been lost in the static
of the minds cinematic
and the doors are falling
off the hinges
off the ceiling
peeling inches
peels to nothing
a bed a plate
a blank wall gazing

I just can't let go
I just can't ---

You get Radio Wire Empire." - Tramps Upstairs ... more
