Alive in Constriction
01:22

i watched every empty house
trudging through the snow
concrete saps life from fabric
and i have no money for cigarettes
alive in a gunpoint fashion
alive in constriction
alive in a fence
nobody could love me
nobody
all the water is frozen
and i would rather go unrecognized
the coldest depths
house the coldest animals
and all animals can do
is survive

when i met you i was decomposing
chance encounters are ashen things
all i had was seven dollars
all i had was seven dollars
and the sidewalk called me to you
she cried for hours
the day before halloween
she cried for hours
the night before halloween
my jaw was wired shut
and i could not move my limbs
my shirt designates my status
and that status is none
you were so kind
i could see it in your eyes
i sat there for hours
suicide hinged on that night
chance encounters are ashen things

An Angel's Wings
01:58

she's so delicate
in her lovely dress
standing in the plaza
i watched her die
lovely angel
cries out in pain
as her wings
are torn from her back
angel wings of serenity
bloodied and mangled
so still on the ground
defiled
panic sets in
screams of shock
turn to desperation and denial
time is rewound
to play out every permutation
of angel wings
hitting the pavement
have you ever seen an angel's wings
be torn out
over and over again
have you ever heard
her shrieks of pain and sadness
over and over again
have you ever seen
an angel's wings
have you ever seen
an angel's wings
have you ever heard
an angel's screams
have you ever smelled
an angel's blood
have you ever felt
an angel's fear
have you ever seen
an angel's wings

my envy makes me feel sick
organs lurching in a car crash
cacophony of evil dreams
purge it purge it purge it
purge it purge it purge it purge it purge it
i've seen 1000 atrocities on the bus
and 1000 more at the liquor store
i lay alone
splattered across the tile
of mcdonalds gethsemane
every step every key every ounce of vomit
heart palpitation in a distant blue
and i left
patience anorexic
nothing for no one
no one for nothing
vitally punctured by the wave
lacerated by the particle
eviscerated by the dice
torn limb from limb by the rainbow
hallowed eve of the victim
stranded in the styrofoam
my heart is overgrown
with chains of ivy
and shackles of concrete
i long to leap from the balcony
