Don’t try to call me tomorrow
I won’t be up then anyway but,
I can’t imagine every day just,
Working over the last part we worked through
Menial, growing—older and darker in hues
Sing along with the death of a thousand words
They were sitting, and staring, a thousand birds
Looked right through me—inside me
It tied me, down to the light
Still fighting with the dark
Pitch black and the odds so deep in
The dark always wins
Don’t try to talk to me today
I won’t be up now anyway but,
I can’t imagine everyday just,
Tear my tongue out to tell you what this is about
Impartial, knowing—trying to say it all in one shout
Sight—Burning out
Touch—Marring sin
Taste—Evening ash
Smell—Smoking fast
Hear—Whispers last
Time—I never asked
I won’t be up then anyway but,
I can’t imagine every day just,
Working over the last part we worked through
Menial, growing—older and darker in hues
Sing along with the death of a thousand words
They were sitting, and staring, a thousand birds
Looked right through me—inside me
It tied me, down to the light
Still fighting with the dark
Pitch black and the odds so deep in
The dark always wins
Don’t try to talk to me today
I won’t be up now anyway but,
I can’t imagine everyday just,
Tear my tongue out to tell you what this is about
Impartial, knowing—trying to say it all in one shout
Sight—Burning out
Touch—Marring sin
Taste—Evening ash
Smell—Smoking fast
Hear—Whispers last
Time—I never asked
