A Whale's Death

Sleepwalking to Ohio,
called on the cautions codeine life.
Curled up inside my suburbs,
it followed me there.
God, you’d make a good mirror.
You’d make God a good mirror.
Refract the frantic headlights
to place where… to places where…
Maybe I’ll be famous or….

Chorus
I’ll die a whale’s death,
under my own weight.

You say you’ve got no choice.
Trouble trembling in you voice.
Tomorrow’s but a theory
dreamed up by now.
Schlep from your house in reverse.
Everyday’s an empty universe.
Never left you all of me but
I never left you alone.
Don’t leave me alone.
Maybe I’m you trapdoor…

Chorus

Maybe absence is my gift…
