I won't follow you long. I have my own place to go. A hunting shack and a holy war. Back home, comes news, we're hurt when told. I won't be with you long, tucked in our winter jackets. Our breath will hold some more. In your eyes In the snow A requiem bonfire built as we spoke about the irons that rusted while we aged. We'll brake up more sticks and toss them into the fire. ---- squawk squawk --- Ooooh you're a wicked child misunderstood like a SPORTing GUN slurred melody from an artist in the night Wind can stir dark words in a moment/in a moment you notice the blowing. Our breath will hold more In your eyes In the snow A requiem bonfire built as we spoke about the irons that rusted while we aged. We'll break up more sticks and toss them into the fire. -TG

On the day that we met We could see our breath The weather so hollow We had to fill it with something The fledgling has got a way With its throat to the sky Open and wanting And waiting for something Someday, maybe soon I'll see a shock of feathers Across a cloudless sky And you and I will be free I could hold that fledgling Cupped in my palms You could feel my heart beat In time with its wings One day, maybe soon You'll raise your carbine to My heart, and oh! what an easy shot In the full light of the sun!

Kerosene 04:32
Let us lay down In the bathroom On the tile floor On the cold tile floor I've got this bottled up Maniacal laughter hahahahahahaha HA Just dying to get out I've got this book Of matches And a can of kerosene Just dying to be lit up But we won't feel as much As the hero We write about All bloody and slouched By his smoking gun In this burning room

Hang in there How you keep the wheel reckless Driver Working off those feelings How much effort towards living How much you've been given How much do you give? Bounce your ball Drag your chain Think of meeeeeeeee What is it You dooooo In the corners of your house? With the lights low? Do you sometimes have to leave And walk out into the street? You do. Look into those well-lit Windows or into the dark ones Where someone might see you Looking in, God forbid!
