Inconsolable

Tenebrous

so it’s just me and this tap water
all full of lead
and we circle the drain
til i go back to bed
it’s just you in the morning
you’re all that i want
and you’re so far away
hope the bombs don’t go off
and this world is bad theater
the third act is on
and it’s falling apart
til the curtain draws
there’s a light i can’t see
but it shines on the stage
and i’m sewn to my seat
like i’m part of the play 
is it true? what you told me
an autumn ago 
empty words in the darkness 
from mouths full of smoke
it’s just me and this medicine
no one prescribed
it gets caught in my throat
and i choke and i cry 
it’s just you in the mirror
always judging me
take my eyes and my tongue
i forgot how to speak 
it’s okay, give it time
it’ll all be alright
there’s a girl in the shower
she’s singing and alive 
there’s a dog in the graveyard
so patient and sad
there’s this place we can go
where it won’t be so bad
there’s fresh air and clean clothes
and silence you can stand
your grandmother's in the kitchen
with flour on her hands
and police don’t exist there
you won’t have to hide
and police don’t exist there
and no one has died 

and we never tried the hard stuff
and no one has died 
and our bodies work perfect
and no one has died
and nobody owns nothing
and no one has died
and no one has died
and no one has died

it’s just me in this bedroom
rewriting cliches
cutting open my sickness
every fucking day
and it all tastes like ashes
and blood in my throat
there’s a man with a gun
in my childhood home
and you’re tied to the radiator
burns on your wrist
nothing bad happens here
since my mother got sick

and the walls are asbestos
and no one has died
and the water’s still poison 
and no one has died
and the kids all have cancer
and no one has died
and my body's a target
and no one has died

and no one has died
and no one has died
and no one has died
And no one has died
And no one has died
And no one has died
And no one has died
And no one has died
And no one has died
And no one has died
And no one has died
