Speak without thinking
Act without hesitating
And pretend your regrets
Are things you will forget about in time
If you lie to yourself, who can judge you
Once all of the mirrors are gone?

Waves of indifference
Slow tides of apathy

do it

Leave this place
There is nothing that remains
Except the lions and the crows that fly among them
Looking for you to provide
Whatever they can take from you
Or steal from your bones

Every breath you stop to catch
Is one more that belongs to them
Each beat of glossy wings
Is the next note of the dirge
That never plays

I heard the streetlights sigh
I set them all to sleep again

You make it cheap by keeping score
Once a blessing now a chore

We don't take this lightly at all
But I know exactly where to go
Above the clouds there's always sun

Sterile and lukewarm
The hum of coursing light
That speaks and says nothing at all

Outside, abyssal nights
Like a TV screen in the window
Set to an empty channel, muted
And played in a darkened home
