An Ode to the Broken

Sitting with my ghost
In a hollow room
A cup filled with spoons
The TV hums a tune

Of algorithmic nostalgia
Opiates and ambrosia
For the shallow
And the entombed, In a life you didn't

Choose, disregarded and abused
The days change with the weather
Tomorrow will be better
If you so choose

Emancipated from cotton sheets
Slither through defiled streets
Cascading mirrored eyes
Dissolve into ashen skies

And I, I, I
Can't see the brighter side

Scarecrows scream in empty fields
Abandoned by the crows
Golden towers laid in rows
Everybody knows

The water tastes of wine
But bitter is the divine
Angels offer advice
In secret signs, you realize

You're already dead
Just waiting for it to take affect
Smoke and soil pay respects
Carnations or coins on your shuttered eyes

I am baptized
In the lullaby they sing
For the suffering held between
The heart and the hymn

And I, I, I
Start to see the brighter side

I am baptized
In the lullaby they sing
For the suffering held between
The heart and the hymn

And I, I, I
Start to see the brighter side
