Swallow me
like angry Saturn
Swallow me
like the Golden Calf
Swallow me
like swords
like razors
flaming torches
And keep me there
in your gut
Never let me go
I would never leave you
You know I’d never leave you
Swallow me
like the Serpent’s tail
Swallow me
like God’s gray Whale
Swallow me whole
I’m yours to hold
Swallow me
like a much loved drug
Swallow me
like the barrel of your gun
Swallow me
like arsenic
like hemlock
epileptic tongues
I would never leave you
You know I’d never leave you
Swallow me
like holy blood
Swallow me
like your lover’s cum
Swallow me whole
I’m yours to hold
Sugar
is sweet

This Inexorable Shape

You’ve seen better days
I’m sad to say
But there’s no use in crying now
Raise a toast to what was,
Laugh together, fight the tears
Turn your back on better days
We are wanting, we are wanting,
We are wanting, we are wanting
And from my window I can watch the cruelty of children,
The vicious sparkle in their little eyes
Smiles like jagged scars, deserts in their hearts
See myself reflected in their eyes
We’ve all seen better days
I have to say
But I really can’t be bothered with it now
Nothing to be done,
Oh, what’s the use?
Close the lid on better days
I can hear it in the distance,
As it crushes one more city,
As it gobbles up another family
After all the fires, when only ash remains
There’s still something left for me
We are wanting, we are wanting,
We are wanting, we are wanting,
Wanting, wanting,
We are wanting….

Love, walking pigeon-toed,
stumbles,
cries to see
its bloodied knees
If I open myself to you
like a whore’s bought thighs
and reveal the subtle
truth within my lies,
where is my reward?
Have you kept your word?
But there’s something in your smile,
that keeps me here a while
Yes, I’m in love with ruins
You know I’ve always been
It hangs in the air like justice,
like hungry mob justice
The smoking gun of your goodbye
The wasted breath of my alibi
I came back from the edge of the world
The doors were shut, the windows fast
I returned from the end of the world
and I could not meet my past
How do I remember warmth
how can I remember comfort
Now you’ve left me
here alone
I could never own
your heart,
kept behind skin and bone
I could never keep your heart,
though I thought I did my part
It hangs in the air like justice,
like hungry mob justice
The smoking gun of your goodbye
The wasted breath of my alibi
But there’s something in your smile,
that keeps me here a while

You break it apart
And put it back together
But there is something missing
Something is lost
It must be a tiny thing
to slip away so easily
to hide beyond finding
Useless little thing
But the hole it leaves
is a puckered mouth
that sucks up hope
and starves it to death
Nothing fits anymore
Do you even notice?
Or is it all good enough
this life you've thrown together?
Only one answer is possible
You've made a stupid mistake
There are no second chances
But you will try anyway
Try anyway
Try anyway
Try anyway
Try anything at all
Twisted by indecision
Bludgeoned by intellect
Betrayed by fairweather
birds of a feather
who told you they'd be there,
then fled the scene
Betrayed by fairweather
birds of a feather
You lied to your future
and murdered your past
Just like a snake
slipping skin
One answer possible
A stupid mistake
No second chances
Try anyway
Try anyway

You said you'd always protect me
You told me you'd be there
to save me from myself
to show me that you care
My stick-thin legs can't walk
without you there to guide me
I rely on you to hold me up
We grow to fill our boxes
our cases
our cages
No further
No further
No further
We grow to fill our boxes
our cases
our cages
No further
No further
No further
Your eyes in every keyhole
Love me with your gaze
I cherish your attention
I love to run your maze
I don't want to see tomorrow
Give me eternal now
There is no place to go
No dreams get in the way
It takes a strong arm to protect freedom
It takes a strong arm to protect freedom
It takes a strong arm to protect freedom
It takes a strong arm to protect freedom

We should pile our dead up high
make a ladder to the sky
We should shove the sun aside
and let it tumble down
and scorch the earth
and burn the seas
We won't need them anymore
We'll find God in his heaven yet
We will make him love us yet
Our blood will fall to the earth like rain
We will make the world green again
The dawning of a brand new day
Oh, we will find a way
Our blood will fall to the earth like rain
We will make the world green again
The dawning of a brand new day
Yes, we will find a way
We should throw the corpses down
into a ditch
into the dirt
We should make our fathers proud
So let us follow after
and choke the earth
and spoil the seas
We should finish our fine work
a monument to our memory
We should make an ending
Our blood will fall to the earth like rain
We will make the world green again
The dawning of a brand new day
Oh, we will find a way
Our blood will fall to the earth like rain
We will make the world green again
The dawning of a brand new day
Oh, we will find a way
Yes, we will find a way

Tender Mercies

Kill your food before you eat it
Do not let it go on
It must not dream of the future
It must be dead
It must be dead
Its days of bland waiting are gone
Its purpose is found
It is too late
Kill your food before you eat it
Do not let it live
Do not forgive
It will not have children
It will not look for work
It will not juggle bill payments
and cheat on its spouse
It will not wonder
is that all there is?
Because it is food
It is your food
Do not let it squirm and flop
in your stomach
You give it meaning
Do not let it kick
You have loved it
with your knife and fork
You have moved your tongue
over its surface
You have rolled it
in your mouth
It will no longer wonder
if it should have stayed in school
It will not scratch its head
in dull silence
It is digesting
It is a kindness
It is the only kindness
Kill your food before you eat it
