Allegheny Rains
It always excludes me. Just make it like what's on instagram Hawaiian shirts and technicolor whatever, fuck it. When you moved here In the current year Why? My questions unasked Unanswered When was it... when we got captured? Nobody seems to notice Nobody seems to care What just happened. It's a story As old as time Dumped in these lower spheres to rot A soldier without a king. The ways become narrow Until it’s all a bottleneck And I’m condemned to my sentence Passing time before I die. I am the executive Of all your problems And I should know better I should adopt your cruelty Means to an end. Heretical orthodoxy What is canon Excludes me.

Everything always at once A bloated hologram Dangling in the desert winds. Is there sand in my eyes Or a whirlpool beneath my feet? At any rate - I don't embrace this. I can feel its contours changing every day It's so fucking disgusting What's new is everybody's complicity As if they don't remember... I'm getting tired Of your stupid faces A fucking feed on every fucking surface. I love the future Toting a gun everywhere I go In every cabinet There's at least a knife Playing catchup with reality... They didn't prepare us For the world we inherited But that doesn't excuse you For being weak. You * And yet you wouldn't kill And even then you couldn't kill Anything So go and fucking do it Do it Do it Now You don't wanna see what comes next If you can't deal with a standard deviation Well within the normal limits of what happens in life on earth You don't wanna know what comes next. And when they come for you in the night... Not like I care about your life Or what the outcome might be Your pending obsolescence Brings me great joy. Goodbye to mood swings Oh, depopulation - this future brings me joy Goodbye to human beings I embraced what comes next Like twenty years ago.

You had to be there When the sun emptied its secrets You had to know an entry in advance A golden target to practice your ending A betrayal foretold in subterranean times "Like a river reversing its course" And the limits lift their shackles What a natural boundary... Containing or contaminating your answer. Did you ever think the future Would be what it is Whatever this is? Did you ever think we'd have to go there Wherever we went To make sense of it? To make sense of what? Only a few know where to find the answer And even fewer to accept it.

You, forever you Burned into my brain Animal instinct and impression Just a caricature Of your face just in front of my eyes I always wake up right before we kiss One last time. You, forever you I don't belong here and neither did you So how's the outcome, now that we've made it? Do you wake up with something missing? Why can't you ever be honest? I always wake up right before we kiss One last time. I thought I would marry you Then I buried you My steel-eyed princess In death I'll join you again

Do you know Know it's the fulcrum? I died in those hills Made to wander the Earth like an animal Eyeless, I torn from I. You should come down from there From such lofty heights I'll show you the foundry In bruises, and cuts, and broken bones That defy explanation In the well I dug, or found Or whatever explanation satisfies you That's what you want from me: disintegration. That's my disenchantment That's my lack of a certain magic A curse and a burden and a shadow. Allegheny rains come and take me home But this time Won't you let me die instead I don't want to know What else could unfold In another cycle dashed upon some other rocks It never happened Not until this world, condemned, flows back to its source.

Your loss that toppled me Topples me It’s craters, you can still find Yeah, what a "glory to serve" "And a cancer divine..." Don't think you'll find me In some new clearing Maybe I'm content In comfortable exile So you can fuck off with my old muse She'll just rape you and take your keys You don't believe me? Why don't you call her It's so easy to throw futures away... So don't you tell me What to do with my curse Your perfect vantage Is just an endless childhood I can't help feeling burned And full of contempt For you, and you, and you It's so fucking stupid It's so fucking exhausting To be one of the last ones on the earth.

Wasn’t there a sterile beauty in exterminating love, The beauty of the empty stars? Wasn’t there joy in ruining the order of the day, In gray shovels and cold fire? We spoke of what we must do But, in the end, we could not bear it. Not the hammers Nor the fumes Neither trenches Nor the worm.

As plain as I'm used to I'd explain the magic But she won't let me Past the dragon's teeth And if it exists Meaning Jorjani's muse Or Christian's Satan Then why don't these chains just loose? "And even one day..." A convoluted answer. I'm sick of wearing to bone In my prime. Just tell me who to pray to To cut my chains a little loose How many lives do I have to take For a four day work week... How many works have been lost To the perennial grinder It's not enough to hate And never enough to hammer... A prison mentality Must be conquered, buried, and burned. I'll take my future In a hail of bullets and blood If it means one day I'll be free The Huron River still calls to me And when I sleep her ghost still visits me.
