Silly Weeds

Life is slow out here just waiting like a range
Calls hum down the lines but none affect the cage
Little tempest runs come rattling with rage
Pray to God and mom for comfort in the change

Crackled fire and bones and eyes all painted black
Fuck the world you're gone and you're not coming back
Merry cheeks are weak and stiffened arms gone slack
The weight of everything bares down upon my back

A year from now I'm floating far away
Unweighted by the concrete block refrains
Even mountains move like clouds if you look fast enough to catch em
A mountain moving on to gaze at different pastures

Sputter high against a sky of blackened soot
Celebration calls me back on borrowed foot
Weekends radiate they make me come unstood
Amplified in ragged skin like sodden wood

Arrange the lights all pretty shiny in a row
A flickered night is burning borrowed in the snow
I miss the callow lake that molded me like dough
A silly weed I was for everyone to sow

A year from now I'm floating far away
Unweighted by the concrete block refrains
Even mountains move like clouds if you look fast enough to catch 'em
A mountain moving on to gaze at different pastures
