In strict canon In low relief But I’ve abandoned Any belief All my belief I Shall Stand Like David Until Death Makes Me Marble If last names could provide What all our homes belie Sacred not sound Blood in the orange Bone in the morgue Time as Dense as Atoms Will Not Mourn Your Loss All My White Elephants Will Become White Horses I Shall Stand Like David Until Death Makes Me Marble

I get sick in the saddle Because I humanize the cattle Found in the work of walkers Expelled form the wells of wishers The quiet of day turns into the never of night Turn for the worse just to feel the movement Because a change is good A change is good A change is good A change is good The quiet of day turns into the never of night Turn for the worse just to feel the movement Because a change is good A change is good A change is good A change is good Kiss on their head And put them to bed Please go to sleep But don’t dream too deep Because it hurts a little It hurts a little little Please go to sleep But don’t dream too deep

This lovely dead night is calling us down down Down down down down down down down down So close but so far So less than what we are The living language is killing Our once timeless tongues I’m feeling pale as the platitudes I’m feeling the gallows complexion I’m feeling pale as the platitudes I’m feeling the gallows complexion So close but so far So less than what we are The living language is killing Our once timeless tongues

Maddalena 05:20
Angelina come-y down-y It’s an hour I’m waiting for you And the moon is shining shining Is shining just for you And the moon is shining shining Is shining just for you That’s all Well, I like any…any kind of music It’s nice and sunny, but last night thundering and raining So you live in California yet? Because you like it where it’s warm And how long have you been there? What do your parents say? Does your mother say she misses you? Whatever will be will be The future’s not ours to see Oh well, I wish you a lot’a luck I like you, I love you

I don’t know if anything will happen I’m just trying to break a pattern It’s like I can’t think, It’s like I can’t begin Sinking but will not succumb It’s always worse than we want to say And I don’t how to change the worse from my way We lost grace so soon Now no one sings like they used too I do Do you? I do This fight lost its dog And I’m lost because there’s no cause
