Post Mortem |
This is the last chapter, bombs hit who? |
Crushed what? |
Over there? |
Oh, my God, oh, dear |
I was, hmm, I think I was, huh, going somewhere |
About to pay my fare, bright glare, not quite clear |
Stare blind into the light of possibilities |
Think I heard the screams of those in my proximity |
Or had I started thinking wishfully? |
Guided by fear |
I’m semi-aware, please, is anybody out there? |
It was a gentle fission kiss on my block |
And hot light like a baby breathing sigh in her terrain |
And now my name is merely last second of brain exist |
Before the final flash |
Where emotion and pretty details of the life I had passed |
Now my warm night in Brooklyn is ash |
Falling from the snot of loosies that I choked on |
Around the corner from class |
Before the moments when the moon can move fast |
Another summer slowly growing with the friendships |
That would end with a blast |
Or how the hours could so blissfully lag |
She slid her tongue between my lips and I gasped |
Told my dawgs and they laughed |
Now we’re combining our cash at last |
A pack of smokes and a flask |
I hope there’s liquor with a gas by the mask |
Convert to atheism, denounce god, pronounce religion dead |
Faith in nothing, trace my wrists with razors |
I refuse to wait for the blaze to erase my spirit |
Death, faced with it, run to it, not from it |
Swallow all the pills in the medicine cabinet |
Chase it with a bottle of one-fifty-one, hug mommy |
Head outside to smash windows and trash my hotel lobby |
Rape a cripple if the time allows |
I find a kid to hem up, I wish I’d done more sinnin' |
Get a strap-on, run up in some women |
Lay in the middle of a highway, wait for pain to hit me |
Steal all I can with people lootin', screamin', «Come and get me» |
Find the nearest pawn shop, biggest gun, crowded street |
Blow my brains to hell and gone and let the devil come for me |
What’s the chances I’d be one of the last ones left alive to see this? |
The Earthcrusher came before I could even conceive a fetus |
But I did go from nothing to misunderstood elitist |
Who tried to tell his people to rise instead of actin' like defeatists |
But what good is that? |
'Cause now we all goin' to hell |
Like some kid playin' in his class, out talkin' before the bell |
I died believing in righteousness, but I could have indulged more |
'Cause giving in to temptation don’t seem that raw no more |
I heard some airline offered flights into space |
I shoulda took it to see earth before they mashed up the place |
I thought I’d be alone when they finally came to get me |
But nobody gotta miss me, 'cause they all comin' with me |
Our horizon was accessorizing, need bred more need |
Best believe it’s the equation of greed |
I need a new car and thus new brakes, another tune-up with lube |
Whatever’s put together shall be unscrewed |
In times of famine, we made more food, food made more people |
It’s all explained within the cycle of evil |
Would I trade it all? |
Cruisin' down the highway on a bright summer day |
Gazing out a plane to see the earth from miles away |
Watchin' the Patriots win the Super Bowl |
Grabbing that fumble from Ricky Proehl |
Or my stereo, providing me with rhythm and soul, I don’t know |
All I know is I feel guilt for every single thing I’ve ever bought and sold |
I shoulda been in more demonstrations |
Planted bombs in corporations |
Murdered CEO’s and cancelled TV shows |
Burned billboards and torn posters, I coulda read more |
Finally, I’ll get to meet this god they left us dead for |
And it’s ill, it’s power to the form of a bill |
For which people killed, lied, manipulated free will |
Conscience will be their crucifix, the chopping block for poppycock |
And I can feel our spirits drop upon these streets I oddly walk |
Enough talk, here’s my last chance to cherish a thought |
My flesh is fully melted and my stomach’s in a knot |
So to my love, I hated to leave you alone, pardon my zone |
Passion took me places and my life was a poem |
Baby, I was on my way home, about to catch a flight |
Our meeting has dissolved in radiation and light |
Love you gave me made me shine |
You’re gorgeous with a powerful mind |
You lifted my spirits and strengthened my spine |
I’m at peace with my life, 'cause knowin' you was divine |
You made me see eternal beauty in a world that was dyin' |
Now we’re all ground by the grind, out of luck and out of line |
Out of signs, and now we’re out of time |
