1.
solace of grief to the old tired minors they've been breathing they've been bleeding the better part of the land
2.
years and years after the earthquake came the town it still looked the same a vacancy left the air so strange the way that i feel tonight the way that the lights divide i'm caught in a compromising state of mind and now, something's awry, something's amiss, something's askew, i don't know what it is

a cancer 05:08
that's grown inside of me and gotten me this way
5.
now, the moon looks pregnant, see it's got 2 rings and it's promising us rain or forewarnings when the ghost is your best man and your pall bearer and there's little difference in the clothes they wear well, pretty soon you're gonna have to make up your mind whether, you gonna get born or get gone/get dyin'.
6.
it's not an easy thing to need a need that needs to rest the leaves all leave the trees, the seeds start sinking in the grass and before the coal is diamonds it is pressed until it hurts asserts a certain certainty that longing must come first
7.
and when the milk starts to turn, and it rots, and it spoils and my blood starts to burn, and it clots, and it boils i'll be coming on strong like the wind from the east and i'll be singing the song of the disfigured beast
