lyrics

teach me how to break the mold
of an elder man in a younger role
“you’re better than this”
you said, which I dismissed

foreshadowed is tomorrow’s sun
which I delayed with cola and rum
punch-drunk with shame

I reach down and touch the earth
where I had paid homage to her pain
but I use that pain for fame
thrust my other friends away
took a drag from her smoke
in the fumes of it, I lay

an adagio for stings
a child prays for a friend on his knees
lo and behold
the looking-glass bowl
with the candlelit soul he perceives

must have been an impuissant soul
on my birthday, 22 years old
siphoned rashness into my veins

picture her there, hospital-gowned
eternally woken, tattered rufous crown
head over heels

should I take the tonsure now that she’s
gone for good?
but I know what you would say
“thieve just without the take
take those idols off your wall
they only decorate your shame”

a sad scene bleeds true
when she pushes me away
it pushes me from you
maybe that’s why decent men lose?

so before I lie
see if she took someone strange tonight
she was born to be brave
and I was born to remain
with an indebted hearts that behaves
