Woodcutters 07:28
A yellow paper moon Crowns my eyes And tucks the water around me Like a lunar disguise I’ve been here only for a day My nails tracing lines in the ashtray The streets are wet with light that doesn’t stay Pink and blue, the scene gets erased Nobody passes by Caught up in glassy wire Where ice chips, and time drips down walls Into our arms It’s a long way home when home is another way To separate a man from his mistakes If I’m not dead yet, then I might never be And my date up north says I’m her dream Nobody passes by Caught up in glass and wires Like birds on a pyre, my hands are on fire The rails are cold And I follow them home Oh, I can’t go back that way? Sign on the line My hand slips down the stall To ask for the time Splintered windowpanes catch my hair Scatter the light onto the wall Into scales, my second skin I’ve seen relief pass by Drip from a milky eye A cut thumb, a wink, a sigh I want it all

What will I see When the hand comes down for me Apartments shine, Like victory bells Lit from behind It’s hard to tell Where I come from What I want, and where to fall I’ll split in two to stay the same A spine, an axe, a broken back My insides out Meet me at the bar, I’m trying to take what I can So I can fall Would I like it all I’ll split in two to stay the same A spine, an axe, a broken back My insides out I want to be Oh, I want to see I’ll split in two to stay the same A spine, an axe, a broken back My insides out How will I see through when the veil that covers me Wraps me tighter Teach me that trick I’m not sick of it Only tired

Were I to write myself Que Sera, whatever is hell My sinner sighs through white wax teeth And there’s grease stains where his hands have been Out under a glassy eye, patterned on The moon in the summer sky Hung around my neck I want to take it off Come alone It’s pride that owns the night here The light is old, it keeps me close And without fear With eyes like cut stained glass He’ll bite your tongue And drink your past Out under a glassy eye, patterned on The moon in the summer sky Hung around my neck I want to take it off Come alone It’s pride that owns the night here The light is old, it keeps me close And without fear Come alone It’s pride that owns the night here The light is old, it keeps me close And without fear Let him draw you out And cast doubt on everything He'll laugh with his hands nailed down
