lyrics

Another meal alone

another blackened night

moths flapping at a single bulb

eating all the light


I still have our coals burning

the melodies and the lines

looping like the coasters

in the fairgrounds of my mind


these slow, slow, slow bites

of fast, fast, fast food

may be the end

of my knowledge of anything good


and there was something i came back

i came back here to find

in this old card catalog

in this palindrome of mine


i remember what you said

your handwriting hasn't faded

the outline of your body would still be here

had i waited


these slow, slow, slow bites

of fast, fast, fast food

may be the end

of my knowledge of anything good
