about

The brooder. The bad dream.

lyrics

Last names don't serve any purpose
When your'e just out to service
Your own damn nightscores
Like a currency amputated of value
And killed off early.
Waiting for old tunes to spin their lust
Don't make a fuss.
Throwing up in the predawn,
Your poetics have long gone the way of
Dozing and dreamless on Main Street
Your validation in bedsheets
And killed off early
Holding a blank hand in a raided nest
On an empty chest.

Days run out from under rugs
Like spent mortar rounds, and ticket stubs.
Once remorseful, now unsteady
Revelations hyped and heady
You went riding, I went clawing
A future bright with endless brawling
And all at once, the day came dawning

I never expected to pack up and hide for so long
Winter has got me expecting to pack up and hide for so long.
