Enamel Clenched As Fingertips Upon Parchment Sheets White 'Til Soiled

from Hollowed Queen by The Ticket

/

lyrics

running 'round the cul-de-sac she shot me in the back
scraps of indeterminate detour minutiae
clueless lest the resting lavender languishes
fangs penned and suit jackets listening
thirstily with the gusto of leaves loafing pronouncing love
in seasonal syllables such that door knobs
hobble eyes peeled and reddened as oleander
in heat eaten frozen from pewter pans more empty
singing for tap shoes and aged carpet stains sutured under-appreciated
rorschach paintings via october disgorging authentic virulence
embarrassing here and there again highball fairing streets of gin grinning gregarious (smile for me, darling gone)
and less than stereotypically geometric temperature-dependent children's blocks
crossing cracked asphalt betwixt rim and enamel
for another wasted rock's dig at us temporal planted

why is my heart forged of parchment
white until this art is forced

god dammit prophet, what are you seeing
god dammit phonetic, where's your meaning (i can’t breathe)
god dammit canvas, where's her painting
resonant hollow queen, my vantage you’ve seized (i can’t sleep)

god dammit prophet, is that you leering
god dammit phonetic, are you listening (i just seethe)
god dammit canvas, who’s that brushing
resident mistress of answers unquestioned (and i can’t blink)

nothing eases transition like total silence
