- Aphorisms
Hopelessly motivated lies
Give way like gospels to my eyes in their endless inquiry
Black skied midnight
I have only to delight in my suffering
I sit in this chair for way too long
Waiting for the world to writhe beneath my feet
I lost my self when I lost you
- Dear Colorado
I'll watch the sunlight paint these bedroom walls
I swear I won't sleep at all
Until I think my way through every word you spoke
A Fit of sobs breaks through like leaves that fall
Oh how to autumn called
Like a ghost that came and left me all alone
- Kristina's Last Song
Looking back today at songs I wrote in this notebook:
They were all for you.
Looking back today at a history of forty pages.
This will be the last one.
I've been digging this grave long enough
I've been hung up on your smile.
But if I lift my head up high enough:
- One Flew West
I've been lost in fear and loathing on a bathroom tile floor
Holding fistfuls of my blood, barely together
And for a moment it had seemed like to die is just a dream
And to live after tonight would be a nightmare
And in the mirror I could see an older man stare back at me
With drinks and crushed up pills like some failed science
He seemed to say without a voice that his future was a choice
And the truth will all at once become apparent
- Prophetstown
It's a sordid sort of feeling
When you learn to live with spite.
It's a desperate kind of living
When you're burning up the night.
Getting sick of all the drinking
Getting sicker every day.
Cause I can't say the things I really want to say
- Колыбельная
Баю-баюшки-баю
Засыпай, я тебе спою
Спи, моя родная,
А я рядом посижу
Баю-баюшки-баю
Наглядеться не могу
Спи, моя родная,
