Meet me in the Cemetery
I am the scoundrel
Set on coals...
Came in to sear my fat...
I always pay the toll...
After a yawning transfixed
Gap
In conversation...
Cosmic slant...
You'd come to say with eyes...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
There was a world behind,
Cinched suffering
That's tightly wound,
And all that lies above
Is buried 6 feet
Underground...
And all that lies above
Is buried underground...
You made a beeline for
A circumcision of the truth...
What tempted out your ghost
Was reconvening on my roof...
This wraith...this power slave
That called out from it's awful roost
Was what the deprived pixie dust
Had slathered out in sheer disdain
Of mirror cracks
And candle wax, and all white walls
Where orphaned port
Holes breed...
I am the scoundrel
Set on coals...
Came in to sear my fat...
I always pay the toll...
We talked and swung
Under a dying twilight star...
Your hungry lighthouse heart
Beamed out like headlights
On a roving phantom car
That flickered in and out of
Physical existence while so desperately
I clung to steering wheel...
You'd come to say with eyes...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
There was a world behind,
Cinched suffering
That's tightly wound,
And all that lies above
Is buried 6 feet
Underground...
And all that lies above
Is buried underground...
