lyrics

first epitaph


my solitude was holy
then I peopled it with demons
my father was calling but
I gave him the wrong number
are you lonely, ask yourself
are you angry, or are you holding out
my closest friends were only, I realize now
my closest friends were only
trying to save me from myself

I kept my mother waiting for a call on her birthday
if I had angels they were weeping, from high above
if I had angels they were weeping and I swore it was laughter
who was that there picking up the hair
the hair that i pulled out and
who am I, all the time in the world
and no lies to tell myself
my apologies to the academy of strangers
my apologies to mary

all the sermons that I left in the trash
I never threw out, I knew one day I’d be back
all the lyrics that I buried in the tracks
but never threw out for fear of being found out
all the eyes staring out of the uncarveable sky
indecipherably unalone I knew I’d
make peace with the journey of the self
before time runs out

gone is gone
