Sword Cane - The Dead Science

Walk the streets like a tired wolf

A sword in my cane and a scarring bite in my mouth

Enervated and soft with regret

Last night’s not fully revealed itself yet

{Jazz fist into the mouth of a friend

Dress shoe hell through the window}

The slowest anesthesia for the slowest surgery

Turn knife to

Enervated and soft with regret

Last night’s not fully revealed itself yet

{Jazz fist into the mouth of a friend

Dress shoe hell through the window}

I wish that I couldn’t say «untenably sad» to the best thing I never had

Drunk and swaying on the overpass

With time enough still to sing «You Don’t Owe Me»

Enervated and crippling unsure

Jazz fist into the body of a girl

Let the sails and the curtains unfurl

To become my ghost costume

I wish that I couldn’t say «untenably sad» to the best thing I never had

Weeping demon;

my horns they sing to me

And it feels like

And it feels like
