Free the maggots

pass that advice on...
tell her she earned it

tell her she makes my muddy arrogance slide

been in on the last gasp... a road in drivin rain.. drivin rain like jazz that goes nowhere and you puke from your bones to your throat.. its the chaos, see? its that great nebula gnawing through the attics and furniture

took a broken soul on a soil walk.. on a dead heat..
(lips in eyes talk poetics
about rising)

been on the bedclothes, burn them. drunk on the exchange.. poisonous as we ever were.. i can't swing from the bottleneck or from the mouth of the floor
but still the music dances

been in on last din of blood, last restless vision burrowing into the socket. want me to sing? or grieve on the riverbank with my lungs held high?


i'll be wishin red death
to all the good graces

discardin' the day old grapes

free the maggots.. drink to drugs. when the sword swallower screams, the audience screams too. there is no understanding between them. you don't get to be happy this time around. we don't. we will. the next one is the sky.. the next one is ruin. it hurts doesn't it? when the walls aren't closing in.. sitting in rainfall, drunk on clouds.

go there
go now
never tell them you plan on stayin
smell the salt
and talk



let it all be just fine
