“Shipwrecked With A Storm Closing In Faster Than My Rescue”
I used to write so sad
each line dripped with tears and blood
that was just a few long cold days ago now
now I write neutral and empty passages
I do not feel a single thing
In my head or in my soul
on my body or in my tongue
because I seem to have lost all the words
the ones I would whisper to myself in the dark
the words that made you smile every time I held you near
now I haven’t got a single lover to hear them
and I can’t find the right words to tell you
that I need some love from a person that I don’t know
I need a girl who doesn’t know about you and me
a girl who likes to read the words that I write her
a girl who likes Zeppelin, Sublime, and Modest Mouse
a lover who digs sleeping ‘til noon on weekdays
and can stay up with me for over three days
this empty feeling needs immediate liberating
to get out and up away from me a little sooner than possible
because this pain that is from my self infliction addiction
breaks the skin that is already cracked and caked with blood from old
wounds
and now I need a lover who carries a torch with her
to guide me out of the dark caverns of my mind
to bring me to and open field with grass 10 feet high
and show me how the sun really shines so well when you’ve got love
because right now I can only see the moon and its dripping shadows
aren’t I tired of being alone and floating with my head only inches
only less than inches above these cold shark infested waters
you bet your fucking teeth that I am
where is my lifeboat now
where is my lifeboat now
where is my lifeboat now…….
