| She’s got a dress and she’s got a steeple she’ll bury the hatchet she never
|
| knew evil like that time I took too many pills in one evening we slept in the
|
| same bed and I had trouble breathing and I woke in the morning with knots in my
|
| stomach and realized that I could not live in the moment again
|
| I realized my love was a lighthouse built too far inland

| the preacher I’ll lick my wounds like a cat in a coffin I’m feeling so old I
|
| should stay here more often I get myself breathless from blowing my own sails
|
| and staying atop of these childhood hay bales again
|
| I realized my heart was a lighthouse built too far inland
|
| And as the saying goes of old I changed it today if you love you love something
|
| then push it away, away
|
| I’m a wreck in progress the hole in every haul of every voyage the fray in the
|
| rope of every promise the trojan horse in every unassuming, in every unassuming
|
| fortress
|
| The rivers and hills of the empire state where my cousins grew up and my chest
|
| had no weight and we migrated back north for the first time in 8 years and I
|
| realized that I was not green like the pine trees and now I am sporting those
|
| hazy raccoon eyes she wanted my heart I wanted between her thighs again
|
| I realized my trust was a lighthouse built too far inland
|
| And as the saying goes of old I changed it today if you love you love something
|
| then push it away, away
|
| I’m a wreck in progress the hole in every haul of every voyage the fray in the
|
| rope of every promise the trojan horse in every unassuming, in every unassuming
|
| fortress |
