Lyrics

I entered with a paper moon
Adhered to my crimson river vessel
The lobby clock had a cold
And forgot about noon
An emeritus of dust
Was cataloging chairs in the rain
Said that all the archaic names
Had gone down the drain
I carved my initials into a jar of vinegar
Then watched them dissolve
Like a finished Tsar
A fish in the window
Kept studying me
Like a title without accreditation in the sea
Everything that was eminent is wearing thin
A solitary trumpet weeps
For what being was before dissolving into rust
I fold the atlas I fold the king
I rescue lost memories
As something more present
Old names gone I let them go
Old maps folded I watch them fold
Nothing is lost
Of that which never fit
Nothing gets fixed
I hold a PhD in decay
The avenue of stars dimmed down in electric shock
A woman hawked commas
From inside a velvet coat
And the historical past
Suffered a paralysis of form
A library ghost took a ticket and smiled
Then vanished between chapters
That I myself hadn't written
But which were about
About me
Everything that was sacred
Is light as smoke
Life was a bad joke from the start
I keep my parade in a portable-size suitcase
Carrying bitten bitter apples
Useless knowledge and two tired eyes
In unattainable Edens
Call me an exhibit of failures
In the grand scheme of things
I am just a vessel
For unsolicited lucid dreams
The future arrives
Dressed in rags and bad intentions up its sleeve
In the mirror of my likeness
I no longer possess a name
I am ready to leave
Old names gone I let them go
Old maps folded I watch them fold
Nothing is lost
Of that which never fit
Nothing gets fixed
I hold a PhD in decay
