Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate -
That Time will come and take my love away.
This thought is as a death which cannot choose
But weep to have that which it fears to lose.
lyrics
Wasted life, stinking town
Wearing my liver down
Sinking the sighs of an idle day
The passions long since ebbed away
And every night
Drains the light in me
Turning against the circles I’m in
Till circles simply cease to spin.
The weakness grows strong as I fall from my bed
A sweat like sin clinging to my head
Craven the woes of my dry page
The rhymes that never reach the stage
The lays, the legs
The cunted eggs go on
Raskolnikov seeped in my bone
I’m crying to torture the stone.
Dead heart, a dark yard
Years go by
Dreamed thin, stolen
Tears run dry
You lie
Through the blood and the sick, memories come
To the light of a cooling sun
Solitude, like an ocean tide
Rising to bury thoughts that have died
The love, the pain
Don’t come again for me
Selena, see now what I found
Spiralling under the ground.
