Live at Arlene's Grocery on June 26, 2016

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 reached down and
touched the earth, where I paid
homage to her pain. but I
used that pain for fame, thrust my
other friends away, took a
drag from her smoke. in the
fumes of it, I laid

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

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

should I take the tonsure now that she’s
gone for good?
I know what you would say, “thieve
just without the take. take those
idols off your walls; 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 heart that behaves
