NITE DINO - FIREYES

an unfinished rough recording, last touched on December 5, 2018.

suspended in gaffa [Kate Bush]

i dreamt i lost an arm - burnt an empty casket
your name an awful racket - echoed on my shoulders
-
in my eyes you are golden - out of my life
you are bold in - ticker tape along the sky
-
lingering, hoping you will relapse - on my sadness, longing offering
i will push you away - some thousand times
-
perpetual, painful fairytale - the final passenger to
unbuckle and bail - i tore up a
-
good life on a lark - i am the truest, the worst
the one and only - frozen, broken heart
a whole made up - of callous(ed) parts

frozen, broken

the Weakness in Me [Joan Armatrading]

hound

advocate for higher care
then throw me down a flight of stairs
i broke my promise, what's fair is fair
now i know i'm beyond repair

my final day was bittersweet
but using thoughts are on repeat
after all these weeks what did i learn
not enough to stop the dark return

a fifth down before the day's end
a prescription ready to send me spinning
what's the worth of winning
when losing is my old friend

i've broke before, i'll break again
i'll try to mend and make amends
i could play the game and just pretend
though those whom worry for me won't wait forever

will i ever keep it together
i'm working harder than i have ever
yet i've never come close to being better
this is a low, though not the first time i've met it

treatment

moved to the city
i made it a month
with my mind collapsing
i abandoned the south

i thought i could beat it
by running away
i took you for granted
you wouldn't let me stay

it sure is colder
just two hours north
back to devilish measures
i must resort

i knew this was over
before it began
when i look down i see
there's no ground left (on which to land)

who the fuck am i?
a sailor without a ship
not equipped to
live in this world

goodbye friends
goodbye family
please don't bother
to remember me

it will only bring you down
into the dark space i have found
i have lived life sight-
less for too long

slept on floors in every town
i know i don't belong here
i haven't heard a
sound in years
