What bliss is thisThat saps my life?
A longing missed
By the tip of a knife
Euphoria abounds
All about Town
While Death makes his rounds
So keep your hearts down
Bottles of Joy and Cheer
Run rampant over thee
Is it the wine or the beer
That makes me forget me?
Life's lovely passion
Grows thorns and blood
As the soul turns ashen
The body goes thud
I solemnly swear
That I'm not okay
That I'm pulling out hair
That I regret my do and say
Run! The Soul calls
And the weak knee falls
Soaring past the walls
Making late night phone calls
And on the cold, wet dirt
And in the cold
And cold
And
I fly
Wait,
I cry
No,
I die
.
