Too Slowly (Drink)

from The Whiskey On Your Lips by Halligan

/

lyrics

This scar upon my chest
Says it's best, that you know
I pray for your blood.

And I'd push your black heart out of your mouth
So we'd see:
Our veins both run blue.

I need another drink.
I'm dying too slowly.
Yeah, and it's not like I've never been alone. I've never been alone.

And we'd dance, cheek to cheek
Until our feet started to bleed.
Not bad, for rigor mortis.

And my hands would bloody the wine.
And at last you'd be all mine.
And I'd pray for forgiveness.

I need another drink.
I'm dying too slowly.
Yeah, and it's not like I've never been alone. I've never been alone.

I Collect Light Bulbs
LEDs
and flashlights.
I gather them and chain them together
across my ceiling
like tropical fruit. A tree of light.

Long ago I'd sit in darkness.
And with the push of a button,
Each lamp flickered on in
a righteous, white monsoon.

Now the light tree bleeds no more.
And I can’t regain that feeling
of monsoon.
