A LONESOME FOG

sleeping medicine to pass the time
my mind a tangled string of beads
rides gondolas through bleeding streams
into a leaky sink
koala hearts slice viciously
then stitch me up all nice and clean
still comatose from self implosion

its the great outpouring and the souls sent souring
the stalking hawks sweeping cold calm hollow cry
the diesel rhyme the darting rabbits gambit

teeth marks on my skin again
every day for thirteen weeks
what's doing this to me
what's doing this to me
what keeps doing this to me
the stale simplicity of working
slipping gears of all i dreamed would be
the time has come

to write the story to unfold before me
and leave the carcass in this well worn rut behind
to taste my purpose I'll face every hazard
I'm gonna play with fire
I'm gonna burn this house down
then run like hell or snuff it

when I'm out on that road the points the broken pattern
when I'm makin that wager the bets on me to fly
I'm leavin that lonesome fog behind me
I'm gonna spread the fire
I'm gonna burn this town down
just try like hell and stop me

This is brilliant. The album and the imagery. Great work.
