mix we with your spirits when it's over
so these atoms are properly ingested
and i can be as close to you as your stomach
and intestinesthe first to go is always the head
flushed out the brain stem
but the heart spasms until the dust hits
until every cell is disintegrateddon't you miss it?
the absence of ache
the remaining daylight
the wish that it stayedi could sing you a thousand lullabies
i could hold you for days
but it wouldn't change a damn thing
no, not a damn thinga/n: i'm at college now...the absolute horror
