DOG hUNT 04:31
DOG HUNT dogs hunting in the dark tonight - i couldn’t get to sleep to give me peace of mind - dog hunt head heavy and my eyes are dim - can’t get to sleep it’s either me or him - can’t seem to keep him from my mind - thoughts trip quickly as my time unwinds - talk to myself to keep me sane - holes up in the roof - dogs are on my tail rainbow’s chasing me i got the gold – sunlight flickers, click, the shutter’s closed – i claw at time falling down its hole - always crawling back to where i was before - my knees are grinding into gravel floor – chains dripping blood – scraping through to bone dulled mind inside a twister wind – i drink the poison that comes beaconing – it spills on out as i am breathing in - choking me up to where he’s got me pinned - i gasp for breath but then again begin – to suddenly remember - all i thought forgotten shark swimming in a salty soup – he dives down deep he takes you too – should i think to sink or should i swim – heat bleaching you above the sun again – water pouring down comes seeping in - sun peeling skin - like flesh is stripped from bone head long into a heavy wind – what blows me in is at my back again - water rising up above the rim - river over flowing love from some holy hymn - i feel the pain of unsung stinging sin – he’s got me going under before even going in broke window ripping straight through time - lost minutes missed the passing train – saints (go) marching hear them coming in – drumsticks always breaking where they’re wearing thin - i stumble in the dark too tired to sleep - my lungs are filled with lead - there’s trouble where i breathe

so many many way to fit within inside this infrastructure x2 when i was a little young boy i thought that everything worked out like that, and now that i get older i miss the way things used to be when i was younger but now am older so it doesn’t matter anyways • i remember things like that so many many way to fit within inside this infrastructure x2 somebody once told me that up is right and wrong is left and all these things made me think that this must be what life is all about, but now i’m having my doubts • i’m having my doubts so many many way to fit within inside this infrastructure x1 when i was a little child my daddy sat me down onto his knee he said son, he said son you’re gonna be the light above the moon, that shines down for me it’s all i got(to) keep going on, can’t you see can’t you be who i want to be, like me, can’t i just let it go so many many way to fit within inside this infrastructure x4

JESUSCHRIST HOW’D YA GET 2 BE SO ALMIGHTY jesus christ - how’d ya get to be so almighty jesus christ - how’d ya get to being something you didn’t suppose you'd be you walked UP ON the water - what was the deal on that - my mother said the tides rolling in - my father said don’t even begin - it’s not worth thinking about that got a message in a bottle - thrown out on to the sea - so i need someone to walk upon the water - to fetch my soul for me jesus christ well i really really love ya - but i need to know just what yer all about tell me about your fame - what’s your history - how d'U get yourself mixed up with all of that crap - that bullshit all sounds made up jesus christ - how’d ya get to be so almighty jesus christ - how’d ya get to being something you didn’t suppose you'd be

way down low 02:44
i'll meet you at the bottom of the river i'll meet you on the sunny side of shore i'll meet you in the well in the cold cellar i'll meet you as a beggar meets the floor i'll meet you way down low

i'm flying high UPo'er you flying so high up over hell i’m flying i kiss but never tell i’m flying i’m flying high up over you we’re crawling, crawling from the hate we’re stalling, falling as we weigh wondering if it’s really just too late to turn i only gotta wait for you I’M flying high up over midnight looking down on all you little bright lights look to where the light gets shined half past then, according to design don’t you think it’s about time, don’t you think it’s a bout time that we shine, that we shine flying so high up over hell i’m flying i kiss but never tell i’m flying i’m flying high up over you

tick tick goes the clock drip drip goes the sickening sweet smell of syrup dripping bang bang goes the boots of someone line dancing with nancy sinatra bark bark goes the stripping of a tree of its dignity broom broom is so obviously the sound of someone sweeping cough cough goes the man still too weak to open up until death is at his door pound pound goes the dollar down long live our - queen squeak squeak goes the door mouse with hinges too weak to reap the rapeseed dong dong is the the sound of the gong ringing in the china dinner time hint hint is the impotent suggestion what was the question sigh sigh goes the end of another day again in relief

diary of a decomposing dog

this diary on this scary day is one of warmth again and play i am not going to say what my feeling really is in fact it’s just a lark that i have any at all no one’s left to listen, no one ever has, my bed’s been made un-wizened so been judged to be the best, but somehow just one wrinkle in my head is always left. ... more
