lyrics

UNDEAD FOREVER A PINE TREE

Tonight, I am a light in the darkroom of misery.
Tonight, I am quoting the typos of tragedy.

One day I'll turn off the mirror
and return to my piloted skies,
their drizzling sings me to weeping.
Undead forever a pine!

Tonight, I am backwards in Hebrew, a palindrome.
Tonight, I am sleeping with kafka and a telephone.

Swarming the corners of kings.
Someday's ventriloquist wrist.
The maypoles are making a fist.

Don't be so sure
giving up you win someway.
Don't you be so sure
Giving up you'll win somehow.

Tonight, I am jumping in puddles joyfully.
Tonight, I am painting by number a tapestry.
And it's a masterpiece!

Everyday.
We are the same thing. We are.
Will she return to me with open arms?
It's all fucked up.
I know that now.

Tonight, I'm the tubers of snowbird cannonballs.
Tonight, I am pearls in the harbor of waterfalls.

One day I'll turn off the mirror
and return to my piloted sky,
the drizzling sings me to sleep.
Undead forever a pine!

Everyday.
We are the same thing. We are.
Will she return to me with open arms?
It's all fucked up.
I know that now.
