Lonesome

from Phoenix Envy by Andrew Calhoun

/

lyrics

I am so lonesome
As lonesome as darkness
As lonesome as water
As lonesome as God

There's sand in the bedsheets
And the blankets are dead
There's sweat in my brain
And there's ice in my head

Six boring phrases
Make up my mind
And I repeat and repeat them
Millions of times

The men behind purple
Love withut hate
They kill without passion
And they die without fright

And they sit over tea
In the glow of the den
And all of the lampshades
Are made out of skin

A shimmering landscape
Shone like death and like birth
And the touch of its coldness
Covered the earth

And the sky struck a warning
And the slock struck a tear
And the streams and the oceans
Quivered in fear

And the sun struck a warning
And the clock went insand
And the people in heaven
Were screaming in pain

I'm so lonesome
As lonesome as darkness
As lonesome as water
As lonesome as God
