Dead man verse.
i invaded you, in silence, professionally
ghost in a shell. you put your ear to the sea
can you hear me? silhouette in a cove. lighthouse illuminate boats
let the waves lap your cheekbone to a rhythm unknown
solemn groaning. rock and rolling. demons abreast
head heavy dragging albatross i tied to your neck
you'll never remember me but i'll never forget
to attach significance to all the places we went
in vain, so it is, the same. as always before
you called on me to harbor remorse. crawling ashore
your breath is like a local haunt. your heart is a morgue
my handprint is the pentagram you carved in your floor
we loved each other perfectly in spite of it all
fed one another Soma til we sleep or withdraw
clockwork clementine, i recognize your choice, retrospective
you called on me to die. i only answered your question
sentimentalism, capture you and hold. it's the game
i've played for many years, suspecting you'd do the same.
popped your vein. picked your brain. made you hate your reflection
drown yourself in Excedrin. there's no pill for resentment
oral fixation, anal retention. symptomatic depression
lost your whole perspective just to pay me attention
so it was. go and catch your buzz. we're traveling tandem
it's funny how we memorize the names of our phantoms, and resurrect
in every moment alone. when we're not being a person
only being ourselves. 7:30am late for rehearsal
you've yet to up and quit. give me final goodbyes
let the devil into you. it's time to arrive.
