Diamond Dog

Much like you with your ex girl
I'm not hitting it right, so I gotta do it again
Or let someone else do it

Been in the oven so long
The rubber on my headphones peel off like an apple skin
Sleeping pill prescription had me eating good
I fell out the cocoon never to be seen again
I don't blow money
I save enough up to flood out the closet's skeletons
New AP bust-down bust the chops out the ribcage rims

Cousin's new whip hot as Cajun
Kept on lock for a couple weeks then popped out for the occasion
Print fur coat with the leopard still wailing
Hellraising
Hell been hot but the way I'm facing it's already blazing
Death is a long and unsavory process
But brother I'm nothing if not patient

I haven't changed
Despite all contrary claims
Despite all effort
I'm still the same in all the worst ways
My mind is an attic the trapdoor to which I occasionally pull down
And into which I gaze
Cobwebs glide softly before they settle on my face
Cables intertwined
Tryna rearrange every dusty set of wires in my brain
Fuck

It's rusted on the hatch
Spiders skitter through the floor
Making houses out of matches
All that I could give
Running fingers through her hair
Told me don't get too attached
Cost of doing business and the price of being absent

Double-parked, cigarette outside the pharmacy
Handed me his lighter and I took it out of courtesy
Sunken black eyes, in her death she was battered
But the ashes only ever leave a trace if they were scattered
