I am an earthworm following
There is a nighthawk watching me Crawling La la la la, it's a lonely night I'll take the airwaves home tonight Crawl with me into the hole Where everyone can hide We're in the wormhole Seeking to be safe again Without a single brave soul peeking out Tonight Tonight After the fire, there's a falling rain Washing us free from the daily pain Off the hook and down the drain And out to the other side To where the soil is rich and muddy In the riverbed Feed on the urgent promise of the dead Tonight Tonight Tonight |

There was something eating everyone Snd the sunshine fund was low We couldn't greet you With a simple hello And the watchers of the flood Were busy in their chambers Making sure there was new blood To sustain their dying veins But I believed you No need for further questioning I'm gonna leave with you You can teach me all you know Which way will we go now On our trip to taller windows I really don't know now I really don't know In the winter that you left There was business as usual With the same old fears and frustrations But the word got out It was really such a pity But the judges and the saints And the textbook committee Decided you should be left out Not even mentioned But I believed you No need for further questioning I'm gonna leave with you You can teach me all you know Which way will we go now On our trip to taller windows I really don't know now I really don't know |

About the boys Under friendly fire Dress ‘em up in suits And seek her to kill Freedom of the will Ours and, yes, yours Yesterday, today Onward marching on Come here Leon Don't paint your skin To the color of confection And turn away From every ghost you've been And sure enough I saw your head At the tent sale and fire auction For a taste and a chaser You're a solid gold debaser Can you ever be a boy Again, or have you stopped? Trade lost hours for a dare Burn the water, cook the air? And twenty-one Is the legal age To kill yourself slowly But eighteen Is the legal age to die Would I cast my vote Into the inside shit I'm often wont to crawl That's all Don't leave me now to drag my chains To a rhythm never changing Lost from found and beaten down When you write About the boys Under friendly fire Dress ‘em up in suits And seek her to kill Freedom of the will Ours and, yes, yours Yesterday, today Onward marching on |

Suppose it doesn't work Lantern man Find an inoperative halo Tossed inside a field In your crystal ball Was he ostracized Injured, or cast away In a playhouse With hoops and hairpins? Grow alone After, know your conjurer A spinster kept checking For a special clock remover But now we're out of time Secret star of heavenly bundles Firmly confirmed yesterday Send no more joy No more light No more danger It will always come It will always come To wish for you to fall To wish for you to burn To wish for your return |
