You’ve got one foot in
We’re cannon balling a deep six
Drench in it
It always works out, never bracing for a landing
Always shifting, let yourself be taken in
The twilight is calling, swallow it while it glows
The distance is only growing closer as we speed up
There’s no doubt we’re fucked and we know it
Licking the mist of my breath, dying of thirst
A broken column on a headstone, a cat frozen in the snow
Humming through another useless interaction
Come in close so I can whisper in certain words…
Shouting at the heavens for what’s below.
Hey, hey!
You know the deal
Tasted defeat
You’re in this now
If it swings, it swings
If it’s dead weight it sinks
Not even our mothers will weep.
The hearse is here, take it home
Salt the earth, burn the rest.
Don’t hold your head that high. It ain’t worth that much.
