lyrics

Obscurity rides the record river,
and hastefulness bound in wastefulness time
the cloak & dagger chains climb on the remains
of extreme tattered sword

A wedding behind me, the glitter on grey, the shininess new in progression. With cellulite withered & tied down a warning & barons in drag who laugh in the morning the sky torn in colours a parachute falling, need for birds to fly though all calm & still, the fishing boats rise with everything new. Warm & light, a softened display & the still of the day shows the tears in my eyes at all that I say to be given away & we come not to stay in the heart of the day with the storm clouds away & the freaks on display with cigarette overload makeup on walls & her shoes hard on grey - give it away, 'enough' I do say...

Wedding photos stay in pictures as the clouds run on by a life made so happy, & me with back turned, writing a page, down on the beach, alone once again. Placid & tranquil will come early morning; peace in the air, not melancholy despair (at least I hope) - & then come children in screaming for parking space & privileges & battering hands ran at this beat & into the street with a fireplace gleaming in snow & in sleet, violence crash down & envelop the town, rioting in the dark beyond sight of law - but all that yet to come.

A wedding behind me & I am uninvited, with thankfulness & gifts floating by in the breeze, blown like the leaves. Wedding cake almonds & sugar-coated memories lie dust in the covers, suburbia sleeps. A desire for life to be fruitcake.

Freckles & fat & age & decay with a cigarette warning tanning the hide... but now 'smile for the camera, this moment forever'. Enough that I die.
