A Short About a Guy That Dies Every Night |
I heard some lucky guys live a hundred lives |
And wake up with a stomach full of half-dead butterflies |
I’m full of dread from the faith of the evening |
As each nightfall brings the blades of the guillotine |
Some nights struck down trying to stand on my power |
Most nights on my belly playing dead like a coward |
Well I should tighten my muscles legs is frozen |
Don’t speak to eek out a couple extra moments |
I’m trying to slow my vitals, doing silent breathing |
The life of an off-beat show during pilot season |
Execs wanna see who can cancel me the most |
So fast I never get the chance to be a ghost |
The lifespan of a house fly traded for an eon in the sand with my mouth dry |
Give me torture give me terrible marching orders |
Give me dirty water give me anything except shorter |
Gunned down when it’s sun down |
Murdered in cold blood everyday |
Don’t hope two springs eternal like you don’t know |
I’m about to be gunned down when it’s sun down |
About to be choked out by the night |
If I could just live for more than one day I might be gold |
I’m hoping one day that my carcass is hard boiled |
I’m stuck in the cycle of a cartoon gargoyle |
And if I live to be 101 days old |
I grow straight up to the sun and get charbroiled |
But maybe everlasting life is a curse though |
Eternity is drama making life the commercial |
But no thirty second advert has enough build |
When all the the night vision camera footage is a snuff film |
Crush, kill. |
Cycle of the sun is build, destroy |
I fell on so many swords my stomach’s got a keloid |
I’ve died on the phone, I’ve died over e-mail |
I’ve died in the silence where the limbs of a tree fell |
And lived for a brief spell and lose consciousness |
In the middle of a brief yell, waking in a deep well |
That started all over when the pendulum drift switched |
But which two gods birthed this to begin with? |
Gunned down when it’s sun down |
Murdered in cold blood everyday |
Don’t hope two springs eternal like you don’t know |
I’m about to be gunned down when it’s sun down |
About to be choked out by the night |
If I could just live for more than one day I might be gold |
Died everyday like the enemies in Power Rangers |
Up against a homicidal flower stranger |
I even heard a son growing in the upper wombs |
Real fucked up to sit and have to watch the others bloom |
Born on the train to Auschwitz-Birkenau |
It’s Groundhog’s Day, every night is a murder though |
A: So fundamentally it’s a matter of securing |
K: Of course |
A: for himself some… some… |
K: …heavenly grace |
A: …some heavenly grace that will preserve him against falling into this |
mournful round of coming to be and passing away. |
Thinking of the past, |
on the one hand, anticipating the future on the other, you’re saying he falls |
out of the present now |
K: Yes, that’s right |
A: I understand |
