He said,
"I'm drowning,
choking on a swollen tongue.
Don't open your mouth
the world will just rush in."
It's like I'm paying for inspiration
in this godless town.
The sun doesn't shine on New Jersey,
not so much anymore,
and when it does,
the clouds get jealous.
Infidelity and the lost lover's way.
He keeps on saying,
"I'm losing
fighting a battle already won.
Don't open your eyes
It's just a reason to realize she's gone."
The threads that
race across this map are made of gold.
Cut out the pictures and paste them on your wall,
they're made of gold.

Scissors will never be strong enough.
A moment of clarity and the lost lover's way.
He said,
"I'm sleeping.
The bed is cold like the grass.

There's no color but it's bright like a morning.
They're golden I tell you;
The lines that connect our veins across this map are gold
and they sparkle like chords in a sea of distortion.
I can make out your outline from all the way across the room.
The shadow of a plane landing and the lost lover's way.

I'm sure you're being lavished right this moment. In the arms

I could almost draw you with my eyes closed,
Trace your silhouette through empty air.
I feel the shape of your skin

A Dream Of A Man
Darling, bring your love to me, don't keep me in the dark
Show me in the words you speak, you mean all that
by Grateful One
I watched her sitting there,
slumped in a gray wheelchair
beneath the blinking
schizophren ic fluorescent light.
She waits silently.
