S E P T U M S E P A R A T I O N

I.
Structured brilliance
Kisses
Dynamite exploding
Let there be light!
I am the moon
Where is Romeo?
Fast asleep beside the television
Watching static whiz by
And where am I?
In bed alone in an empty home

II.
Birds have no wings because the angels stole them, you see
They forgot what it was like to fly and so
With a hack and slash and flick of the wrist
They took the feathers and bones and blood and heart
And stitched everything together into a boat
If you're silent and still, you can see them float on the clouds,
But if you move, they'll come down and slit your throat

III.
THERE WAS A DOOR
but you must never open it

IV.
I burn the lights in the middle of the day
Must keep the darkness away
Hold a bottle in my outstretched hand
Let the pills slip and you shall be free
WHAT ABOUT ME

V.
I will sleep the dreamless sleep
I will sleep dreamless forever
You, with your will to live,
You think you're so much better
And yet here I am, pushing up the daisies
With a silver lever

VI.
Place the coins on my eyes
Tie the string to my toe
Pour beer down my throat
Watch my nails grow
Tonight I shall wake

VII.
there was a door
BUT YOU MUST NEVER OPEN IT
