Canada Water

Cruel wild cerulean winter came
what cocaine withered champion
we count
what chastened wonder calls
we cannot wait, cannot wait, CRAWL
Wade cold wide canada waters
crashing wave
crushes weightlessly
coastlines wait
come weather come waste
cause who cares why
(chorus? instrumental)
Cause we could wed clad with civilian work clothes
whosever chose
what chaos, what cruelty
what cowards
we wrestle charity
we children were called warriors
criminals, what cult worshippers came
waging cold wars
cause wars civil will come
wounds can weep
(instrumental)
WE CANNOT WAIT
crimes we created
WE CANNOT WAIT
chaos was coagulating
WE CANNOT WAIT
came wider cruelties
WE CANNOT WAIT
crazed witless cowards
WE CANNOT WAIT
cried with cavaliers
WE CANNOT WAIT
cold weather comes
WE CANNOT WAIT
cheap winter coats
WE CANNOT WAIT
Cell walls crack

Rites

in dire need in hot pursuit
I don't blame you for the things you do
in fading light, in dying throes
we're going down in holy smoke
in diocesan rites like these we disobey,
we bay and bleed it's just a phase we're going through it's all I ever want to do
I want to beat the pilgrims road
pill grimaces and and brilliant jokes
it wants for you to feel alone when you are not alone
so run, run ragged, run goddammit
keep it from the ones you love
so run, run ragged, run goddammit
until you're sure it's bad enough
so much for everything being different so much for anything changing
a bloody palm a point of pride another act of punctuation
because it's harder saying sorry than it ever was to lie
or getting stoned before I black out so that I don't start a fight
it makes my brain feel like the water at the bottom of the bin not filling every empty inch between my skin and your skin

Goodbye Forever
03:31
|

When all else fails like the daylight
and the sky hangs like a hot bruise
roots are breaking through the pavement
underneath you
these things are hard to pick up where you left them
harder still to let lie where they fall
most nights I hear noise sometimes it's your voice
if I'm lucky I hear nothing at all
that's not what I meant
when I said goodbye forever
that's not what I meant
when I said goodbye forever
I love whatever planet you are anchored to
whatever skelington you hang from
I love all your little rituals
I love a little dedication
you've got all these killer instincts
I've got all my magic spells and yet within the depths of empty rooms is where we spend ourselves
that's not what I meant
when I said goodbye forever
that's not what I meant
when I said goodbye forever
A building rises like an evil skeleton giant and the sky can shine right through
and you go out to meet your failures wherever they may wait for you
but I know that your love will devastate them
your love will terrify them
and everybody quietly will learn to hate surprises
It's alright that's all fine
nobody I know gets to be their best self all the time
so don't go changing don't go growing don't go leaving us alone again
you'd say Myles I can drag you out of the water but nobody's going to help you swim
I see you becoming viscous, turning to liquid
like all fluid things you are drawn to the moon
with water's indifference and distance crosswords
like pillars of salt we dissolve into you
this is the ring i want to sling you when you're feeling overboard
where the water is as smooth as a dancefloooooooor
