1.
i am a ghost set to haunt her own murderer, become lost wayfarer seeking cold room slumber. i feel like i must forget what brought me to that room, but don't forgive, forget, or travel far from the spinning loom. so i wander without wonder, take some solace in that slumber. it will haunt me like a living dream set to music, silent colors of a scene: all flesh, all repeats, all without meaning. step awake to sleep escape, hours burning feeling. no idea where my mind goes, images of lurid blood tones.
2.
she stabs some new holes in her belt, recklessly waifish and full of wonder and fear of the world, a windblown sparrow lost kicking in the jetstream. the past is the future is gone, a million miles walking til her shoes melt. memories flood through her curls - fly north, summer months, to snow-filled apartment. days awake, she waits for her girl to come back. lying there, she's listening to all the tapes play back. her girl collects pelts for her wall, big boots kicking dirt and road salt. she eagerly waits for her call - apology stuttered like emotional abuse makes. well she's been up hoping all fall, gnawing on her prey like a jackal, but bird did the right thing in spring - snow melt breakup sent her soaring on her sparrow's wings. alive, alone, curious, and thriving. happily flying. she's there watching jackal gnashing at her own sharpened teeth.

the long haul calls to you by name, you often wonder who that is. it's been a while since you couldn't sleep, but now since hearing your own name, it's all the you can think of, isn't it? it calls you forward somehow, somehow wakens something, something that was waiting, waiting's not an option. options fall before you, you are moving forward, it's all that you can do, isn't it? there's something underneath the pain you find yourself in some dark nights. you found a way to find the joy in that, but someone came and took it back. the long haul waits for no one, no it does not. it calls you forward somehow, somehow wakens something, something that was waiting, waiting's not an option. options fall before you, you are moving forward, it's all that you can do, isn't it?

hey, i know you are lonely, and i know you're so scared. far from all the promised years, and all the one and onlys. there is something i have to do. i am my own guardian, healer, and comfort. i am still here. if you need somewhere to turn, i'll be right here in health. not in sickness of worth, but in my sleeves for your tears. there is something i have to do. i am my own guardian, healer, and comfort. i am still here. we take this chance to be taken far from those things that get us really scared of ourselves. hey, i know your are lonely, and i am right here with you, far from all the promised years, and all the one and onlys.

Liquor Store 03:03
i will be awake for more when you come back from the liquor store, i fall back onto the floor when you tongue me with silver swords, i'll be out to settle score, and there's no wait to settle yours - there's no line at the liquor store. wait for you and someone to be someone with and nothing more, i'll be up and out and down and you won't have the bravery, brave enough to follow me and see down that far corridor, see what is so horrible. there is loneliness in me and it comes from a place to be, somewhere that is out of reach where i can see someone like me loving someone else like them, like spirits twined in gentle hands, but here i am gasping for yours. i am underneath your breath when you drink up all that is left of your cold understanding of my condition left to be all alone, a child at home, with deep sense that i am your score. there's no line at the liquor store.
