To Gustave, With Love

I’ve been feeling stuck again
Between the whirlpool and the beast
I’m staying up to sunrise for my lover in the east
anise seed and apples
that honeysuckle breath
the sweetest in the universe
lavender and cigarettes
I’ll see you in the bottle
The best money can buy
I’ll see you in the bottle desperate man
I’m tired of Romantics
Are you still looking for a friend
You know your greatest enemy
You’ll kill you in the end
Alizarin and verdigris
Courage in your veins
maybe it can make up for the bitter
in your brains
It’s easy in the morning
But the sun will fade away
laugh it up till dawn comes
it's worth the pain youll have today
I’ll see you in the bottle
The best money can buy
I’ll see you in the bottle desperate man

I was born to eat
So I ate my weight in gold
Growing up on instinct
I did what I was told
I was born to change
So change myself I did
Dissolved myself to nothing
I waited and I hid
They take away your mouth
But you can touch the sky
Spread your wings oh little one
You were born to fly
I was born to fuck
So I fucked myself again
Multiplied my problems
Infected all my friends
They take away your mouth
But you can touch the sky
Spread your wings oh little one
You were born to fly
It takes away your pain
So you can touch the sky
Spread your wings oh little one
You were born to die

NAKED FOR THE SEA

LAST NIGHT THE SEA OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
AND THE RAIN ECHOED THE WAVES UPON THE GLASS
LAST NIGHT THE SAND WAS JUST A GRAVEYARD
THE GRAINS ALL LITTLE DEAD THINGS GONE TO PASS
NEVER TURN YOUR BACK UPON THE OCEAN
RESPECT THE ANCIENT WAVES WITH CAREFUL FEAR
NEVER TURN YOUR BACK UPON THE OCEAN
KEEP HER IN YOUR SOUL AND KEEP HER NEAR
DO ME ONE LAST KINDNESS
SWEAR YOU'LL LET ME DROWN
GRAB MY ANKLES DARLING
DRAG ME BACK DOWN
IN THE RIPTIDE IN THE DEEP
I’LL BE NAKED FOR THE SEA
IN THE RIPTIDE IN THE DEEP
AT THE END OF ALL THINGS
LAST NIGHT I RAN DOWN TO THE WATER
PRAYED TO THE SALTY SEA TO BE ALONE
I DREAMT OF DROWNING IN A LETTER
AND THE MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE BROUGHT ME HOME
NEVER TURN YOUR BACK UPON THE OCEAN
SHE’LL PULL YOU IN AND TEAR YOUR HOPE APART
NEVER TURN YOUR BACK UPON THE OCEAN
THE CRASHING LOVE IS ALWAYS IN MY HEART
DO ME ONE LAST KINDNESS
SWEAR YOU'LL LET ME DROWN
GRAB MY ANKLES DARLING
DRAG ME BACK DOWN
IN THE RIPTIDE IN THE DEEP
I’LL BE NAKED FOR THE SEA
WHEN THE WATER KISSES ME
BETWEEN THE COVERS AND THE SHEETS
IN THE RIPTIDE IN THE DEEP
I’LL BE NAKED FOR THE SEA
IN THE RIPTIDE IN THE DEEP
AT THE END OF ALL THINGS
AT THE END OF ALL THINGS
AT THE END OF ALL THINGS

Rosary Nights

You know I adore you
On rosary nights
When you stare at the ceiling
And you stare at the lights
And when the rain is falling
I promise it's just rain
So open up your eyes
The blood's still in your veins
You have no grave to walk upon
At least not in this place
So let me hold you gently
So let me keep you safe
The walls are made of tables
The sky is full of stars
The memories of nothingness
Don't make you who you are
And when the angels sing to you
I promise I'm still here
There's nothing here to hurt you
There's nothing left to fear
You have no grave to walk upon
At least not in this place
So let me hold you gently
So let me keep you safe
So let me hold gently
And I will keep you safe

Hymn

Raise your hopeless voice up
Take a shaky breath
Be grateful on the shitty days
Pride will end in death
Sing and sweat the poison out
There is peace inside
Hold onto your fellow man
And you don't have to hide
Every breath is stolen
But maybe it's a gift
I thought that I'd be buried now
So my thinking I must shift
They say to get down on my knees
They say that I must pray
So I'll I lift my desperate voice up
And embrace each fucking day
