Back some distance into the past
Bear with me now
Small corruptions creeping through the heart
Black seeds of doubt
White ash trees
Red copper wires
Wired hard desires
Stale tin nightmares, warm embraces
Flutters in your lungs
Crystal visions trained on the outline
Of memories that turns
No more sins
No more sighs
Old friends divide
You came back to me, learning hatred
Spread over the backs of your hands
Lonely voices were drawing nearer
As I abused you with all that I had
And then
They let go
"No," I said, "No"
Friend, so confined
Won't you bind me?
Just keep on pining
Like the roses you're always tending
That snake up the side of your house
Like the claws that dig never-endingly
Into every opening they can find
And cling
Won't let go
"Oh," I said, "Oh"
Friend, so divine
It's your shrine
Just keep on shining
Friend, please let go
Never know what lives behind it
Girls too drunk and men too late
Unfolding all the maps
Open answers and vacant rooms
For anyone who asks
No more wings
Old memories tried
Old friends divide
