going going gone

by Kat Nicol - Taurus

you assembled my mouth from a thin paper fire
paper fire rising fumble falling fumble the touchdown
hold me hold me baby you hold me tighter than 
glue tighter than they hold the winning touchdown ball
hold me tight devil in mind angel in body angel angel devil
sleeping archangels hit the snooze bar
bar heaven from crushing
heaven crush the things that make us breathe
heaven crush the things
catch there are alarms I hear them catch I hear the alarms that
speak in tongues from the mouth of rotting stinking babes
what did you do what did you do how could you do it
how could you do this thing this bad bad thing 
now they don't swallow your story morning glory
it still flies from the mouths of rotting babes those stinking babes
they don't swallow your story and you're no longer glory 
you're not getting away with it like you said you would
you said you would you said you said you liar liar
when we are together our hands down our pants are on fire fire 
but you're breaking me down angry man broken broke
I won't raise my face and weep on your feet won't bathe your feet
so get your own whore I won't be your whore you liar on fire
you lied with love and verses were ruined you ruined everything
good things go bad my good thing went bad 
these things end like they begin like they end scaring you but not enough
not enough to make you good to make you one of the good guys
you fought for a while but you quit you god damned quitter
a little little while I put a lot of work in I put my back into 
I put all my work into a dead guy a dead coward guy
coward the face the face I love now cold "can you identify this man?" cold
the metal table they lay you on it has to be has to be the cold metal 
on display you're like supermarket beef baby
"ma'am can you identify so we can get him off the cold
 god damned metal table he's lying on like a baby?"
baby baby you can't be that cold you were so hot with me
you can't be that cold always hot with me hot now cold I burn burn
I have to burn away now and never know
never know stillness yeah that's the ticket
the ticket to stillness thicker than the heaven that crushes things
heaven crushes things
that make me breathe thoughts
how many thoughts are moving to you

crushing crushing
thoughts

Reason for writing:

    you know, there isn't one- It just sort of created itself
