i will never take
someone home
with me
i wanna live alone
i wanna live alone
i wanna live alone in the woods
i wanna die alone in the woods
i will never love you
i wanna live alone
i am incapable of love
i wanna live alone

lost time
02:12
|

i am standing just behind myself
watching foreign limbs in motion
cresting on the shores of discontent
and i can barely, barely see
the back side of my teeth
and i can barely, barely feel
the thing that moves me now
i’m strange and broken and that’s all right
i couldn’t tell you what it is to be a person
if you tortured me all night
but i can barely, barely be
happy
and i can barely, barely feel
goodness
thus strangely are our souls constructed

night falls on new hampshire
the stars are bright and cold
the fire’s burned down to the embers
and i know, i know
in my heart of hearts
if i touched them i would feel
no pain
noon rises on poughkeepsie
the sun is fat and round
the pine trees reach up to the sky
and i know, i know
in my heart of hearts
if i climbed them i’d be sure
to fly
dawn comes to massachusetts
the air is thick and damp
the asphalt is sharp through my shoes
and i know, i know
in my heart of hearts
i’m untouchable
through and through

there is something inside me
waiting to get out
cresting on the horizon
great and terrible
and when i am new again
when it makes me new again
i, i will guide the flames away from you
there is something waiting for me
clawing at my insides
reaching for my hand
power
and when i am new again
when it makes me new again
i will put you by my side

i am going to go where no one has gone before
i am going to live where they say i couldn’t live
i am going to be what no one else could be
i’m not doing this for you
i am going to be impossible to see
i am going to be invincible
i am going to be what no one else could be
i’m doing this for me
i am going to change the person you made me
i am going to transform myself again
i am taking steps forward
i’m never going back
fuck you
you don’t own me

wild dogs in cambridge
02:08
|
|||
i can hear the dogs howling
i can hear the people cheering
i won’t be here for you, darling
not with what’s slowly nearing
now don’t go looking for the dogs
and don’t go looking for me
the real me is miles away
and it’s too dark to see
the magic of the evening
is lost on you and me
i am a floating cloud of consciousnesses
and you’re just a human being

i am a brother to dragons
and a companion to owls
as the whirlwind howls
as my skin burns
things have taken a turn
things have taken a turn
tell me
do you not see my ways
and count all my steps
what more is there left
what more is there left
i’d presume only to know
my own goodness
and i know
my own goodness
man, i know it
christ, i know it
so let thistles grow instead of wheat
and cockles instead of barley

men of stones

old blood on the pillow
sweat on my lips
i am young
and i have seen too much
but howl, howl, howl
o we are men of stones
i can’t find it in me
to process
deep rich scent again
blood in my mouth
i am young
and i have lost too much
but howl, howl, howl
o we are men of stones
i can’t find it in me
to feel anything
about the incidents
yeah howl, howl, howl
o we are men of stones
i’ll tell you the story
but i won’t attach myself to it
yeah howl, howl, howl
o we are men of stones
there is nothing inside me
anymore
yeah howl, howl, howl
o we are men of stones
i didn’t come this far
to remember

diamond mind

i don’t remember the year you changed
or the year that she changed me
i left all that in the shining center
where these things can’t breathe
now all my information
is clean and secondhand
but there’s still bits and pieces
that wash up on the sand
and i push them back in the water
i drown those suckers like rats
cause i don’t wanna remember (etc.)
that
now they tell me the shining center
is full of diamonds
and i gotta go there someday
well what if i don’t want my life brightened
what if i don’t listen to you
like hell i’m frightened
i just don’t wanna remember (etc.)
that
