Black River in a Drought

I think I have a problem with obsessive loneliness Like to feel cold and brutal and boneless And empty and twisted and floppy and heartless Yet tearful and sad of everything regardless Of what may be to come or what may have come before Ignorant of anything just waiting for the door To swing back open, let the light pour in Tired and cold, my soul's grown cold Where do I find an outcome to this tragedy Of considering myself as being as bad as anything Or anybody would see me and see a wretch Alone The sky may come alive with crashing thunder and my eyes May burn alive and scream as they die But my soul's growing cold and slowly so am I Go and get out of bed, put all my clothes on Walk out the door and forget what I'm here for and Walk in a daze to the next step on this path to debt, to loss, to pain Losing my childhood ain't what I'm upset about It's gaining weight This weight as I'm buried underground No coffin allowed, only dirt fills my mouth And I jump each stone across a black river in a drought I run away from the water and run for the desert And I'm flooded back over with feelings so persistent Tight into a coil, I feel my wrists, they ache And it's all spiralling around, a brain itself is twisted and fake I feel wrists and they ache from the long days Of nothingness and my hands start To shake and my Fingers are crooked And it's all just one take for a Hollywood blockbuster Just wait 'till they show it, you'll pay good money and they'll prosper And I'll again spiral down until I get another answer to my Moans of longing for what really isn't there So away it goes in its own way to disaster And the air spins around and I'm Stuck under the weight And it curls around my soul and freezes it each day And slowly I feel it decay But I'll be damned if I ever get taken away
