Hell, or Something Like It
from 2/24/2003

name and number
message at the tone
drop a line if you find time
a postcard would do fine

x's and o's
the way that it goes
drifting merrily
merrily
merrily
down the deep dark river death.

broken souls drown
again
again
splinter in my skin

see yourself yesterday
catch an eye full of that
see yourself yesterday
reminisce on regret

drifting merrily
merrily
merrily
down the deep dark river death.

bloody water floating
be sure to wave
as the waves take you under again
there's no learning to swim
or to fly.

but you stop to say "hi"
bearing a smile,
and an uncanny resemblance
of my long dead uncle.
