lyrics

BACK UP PETITION!
severed and set clean to a world of contrition;
to a life of leaving,
to a time of it all,
to a test of it all...
BACK UP REASON!
barely breathing spikes in a space where we all could be clean...
doors in our doorways that lead us to leads...
fenced hesitation fits in fixed worlds like a backwoods incision,
like a black rusted pearl,
like a person too proud to get off of his cloud;
and since there's no lesson, I'll breathe you a bead of intelligent messes,
a scholastic stampede,
a bereaved serenade of impossible grade...
OUT OF THE WOODS?
NOT YET.
DON'T CATACOMB MY LOVE.
OUT OF THE WOODS?
NOT YET.
DON'T COLOR THE ASHTRAY.
I'm fixing and facing and tracing my fiction.
I'm listing my tracing.
I'm gracing my mission.
I'm missing my bracing and breaking my cause.
I get spent in a kettle and spread out on dawn.
I get last in the shuffle and pushed into pawns.
I get glassed in charades that leave hope for phrases.
OUT OF THE WOODS?
NOT YET.
DON'T CATACOMB MY LOVE.
OUT OF THE WOODS?
NOT YET.
DON'T COLOR THE ASHTRAY.
