Description
the truth is smoke in your eyelids(deduceable, danceable, twenty-three seperate minions of regret float around your disembodied head)
they told me "a few more years now and you'll be a real boy"
(reducable, deniable, but altogether unreliable)
"heaven is not a place to just kick back and watch the stars
there are winged/wicked things there, standing up, growing horns, sucking the planets straight from your eyes
like l i q u i d_sapphires"
you never came like you said you would
(onethousand one, onethousand two)
you never set these bones on fire
(onethousand won, onethousand threw,
a volley of rats at your dissafected feet)
blackbird, blackbird, where have you been?
on street corners,
sedated.
and oh . so . blank, thanks.
and when i dream;it's only of wolves
shoot me in the face and tell me something implausible
shoot fire from your eyes and tell me something reliable
and we'll build a bonfire of all of our pastlives;and set our fathers' bodies on fire
all of their precious things;artifacts;remenants;andohsoprecious things
and forget that we were born with fire in our eyes
bluegreen
stand up;grow horns
(onethousand one, onethousand two, they came in volleys, onethousand knew)
onethousand have you
ever seen the planets fall straight from our hemisphere
onethousand have you
ever seen me sprout fire from my eyes?
(you look at me like i'm dead)
. "stop that"
