about

wake, feeling weak
down the stairs
out the door to some street
where you're shaking like a 7.8
blood vessels break like water manes in earthquakes
and sweat in the heat
where your busted up 10-speed
takes you back to somewhere you know
where the days get so short
but your life goes by so slow

in the bitter wind
and the dust and sand
when it hits you just how all of this would end

green eyes, pale heart
it was the last gleam of light from a smog-choked star
realize you've got nowhere left to turn
so burn while you can, make it burn
black eyes, old scars
shoulda known from the start this would all fall apart, eh?
realize you got nowhere left to turn
so burn while you can, make it burn
burn while you can still make it burn

in the bitter wind
all the dust and sand
when it hits you just how all of this would end

green eyes, pale heart
it was the last gleam of light from a smog-choked star
realize you've got nowhere left to turn
so burn while you can, make it burn
black eyes, old scars
shoulda known from the start this would all fall apart, eh?
realize you got nowhere left to turn
so burn while you can, make it burn
burn while you can still make it burn

MORTARS Tennessee

The part of the lake where all the trash washes up, the driveway at the house show when the AC is broken and it is too hot to play inside, the basement where you have to watch what you step on and the air feels real heavy. That is where we shine.
