[Zach Quinn:] Garbed in misery A mirror of my world Vomit still speckles my bib
Lowly imps of pity swarm Like buzzards in the sun To lull me to sleep in my crib
I dream of you And then I dream of something else I lust to be lustful once more
Recounting failures I have failed once again The kismet I cannot ignore
Inside of this crater I have combed for days For any small sliver Moments looped, replayed
I wanted to save you I haven’t the strength to save us both I long to be near you Your ship is now miles out from my coast I still get your messages No flickers of light will bring you back What was almost blinding fades slowly to black
Alone, confused, with a body I abused Silenced by a monster in my place
Defeat, passenger seat Driver steals my voice and wears my face
I wanted to save you I haven’t the strength to save us both I long to be near you Your ship is now miles out from my coast I still get your messages They’re useless but mean the world to me Recalling my mother Smiling down at the proud little boy I used to be
This river runs higher To all I’ve ever desired I washed up on purpose Drowning on the surface In envy of what he became A dying green star
