Shannon Wright

Under the carport that has no spring
Cement floors where the creatures ring
And your mother she never calls
Says you're the cause of all her pain
But all these things don't carry camelot
Through the betrayed all these things
Don't hold form with a stout cord and chain
You are out of sorts and ready to retire
On the brink of my answer i fell asleep
For a little while

I'm rushing a lamppost fevers got me
I'm thawing my best jokes but i sat alone
With the captain of the quarantine
I chewed my way through my boat
I paddled with feathers i fell snug in a fish snare
My faulty fins fell impaired
You boasted about your coins
I seared back your wooden charm
You shelved my affections

I stood inside your pool in some palm setting reel
A picture on a screen there sat you and me
And i comb the wire for a lock of papier-mache
I build a tower for you to portray
You let go of my hand and acted like we never touched
Like some harbour a ship never brushed
I am the floor pile walk over me
My light has grown tired paint over me
All at once i just can't abide i fear
On the cobble swims a king with a hearty smile

I'm never gonna live in that room with you
Weathered from seeing the upside
Choking on my own smile
I float around with my heavy crown
Grease the coil to watch it unwind
It feels so fitting to cover things with gauze
Sever the from the outcome
When what's existing subsides

You eloped with a bout of slurs
Flew the hedge with a pace
I must convey when i feel good then i pay
Keep quiet about my lane
Lost you through distaste

I croon like a lumber crane
Sank quick inside your snare
Her fellow steps across my head
I'm her colt and she's my mare
Dense falls across my face
That's the source i won't contemplate
You can't tear my shell away

Shade calls the bone marrow she left a stage so bare
And everyone clapped to see you rise so gracefully
What a fright on such a beautiful night
The soldiers rang around my head
The flies ate the called cabs
Everyone says i'm scared not you you believe i'm dead

Built a house made out of blood
Fought the serpent and his thugs
Played the game fought the fought
All wrapped you astound me living life through
Your sleep
Yard grass in flight on the ledge we fly
Yard grass in flight the serpent has moved from sight

Mend the sea on this floating tin can
On the branch i bend
This swollen page is a yawning friend
Through the straw i stem
Reframe and cut this, ailing theme
In the lenses i tame
How can i conceal this woven outline
How can i fray from this lane of you

This background is so vague
This falter much too strong
A slew of reluctance
Makes the focus warble on
For every laden vein
Is a grim pail of prey
The true are open
They wrestle with this state
What a dirty facade
The coming of an ugly file
Every guide is ill-timed
Purely lit for the lofty kind
What a dirty facade
The coming of an idle qualm
And everyone is so still
No one ever is pure

So stark is this burrow
So void is this valley
So bare is this vessel
These emberdays have grown grey
So vague is this refuge
So wide is this pattern
So clean is this tassel
These emberdays have grown grey

This drone you sound alarmingly meek
Is inside my head and plummets my bed
It rallies and summons me in my sleep
The sun is groggy and upon your plate
Arms do fumble they're out of their frame
Luster has moved and opted your space
When you call a caddy
I'll be the kind you use
The sagas pose their levee
That's the kind that floats to you
And after all i idle to carry on
The clocks married the dated
Operas sails salutes
The planks are calm with boredom
It's the kind you tend to coo
Every gala's a blanket in flight
And i'm the kind you use
And you with all your ready is a horror
The recital is staged and ready to recite
Stating the flaws and running you wild
But i'll be any stable you like
The radius is starting to stumble and fright
The loveliest station is wailing from sight
But i am ready to part from you

Long before this deserted map
You use to dim to light
The person you show one use to believe
The facet has blurred the link
You boil the greatest of lakes
You lid the envelope of monsoon
Your mar hushes my frame
You lid the envelope of monsoon
Your gilded eye
Your sharpened speech
You use to lend the light
A flask welder
Your jaunty trade
You use to pry the weight

Doldrums badger the hum
Flapping about for everyone
These limbs they do ring
Stagger with frugal means
Hector pillars within
Choking the laughter thin
This checkered timely place
Your babble swells the complaint
Carry the cost
But what will turn this noise down

I'm the bagpipe that is bursting
I'm the shuffleboard at night
Your eyes they swim like oceans
Every word is a lovely rhyme
You're sporadic and so lovely
Every room is so alive
I'm laughter and a fake
My bulb is an ugly shrine
Pay no mind to me
I cannot show love

These bloated veins have climbed
Hillsides and airlines
Looking for a limb to reside
This eager scheme has turned
Lathered up your bottled smile
But the notice passes the tether by

In storms the coils do fail
And I will paw for air
You buckle and stir
My brittle hand

O, this empty glance of you
Folds only to consume
O, how they fray away
These ribbons of you...

The hover is ajar
My worth has fled
Be certain of this empty tray
Do we maintain that there is no one
For me to ring
This stale sight of you
Your spotted eyes
They're soiled through
These fragments i skew

What could hinder this haste
Calm strewn the isle of this tattered grain
In all this muzzled distaste
I brush the vial hoping to misplace
Cover me with soil and tread
Drape me with flames this frock of disdain
Stop this sunken ravine pull out the slate
From under me
This kingdom in the quilt of demand
Forces the conquer of the plan

Your presence howls inside my ear
You lifted the ark from me
Now there's nothing i cannot see
A wooden tin, a hidden sleet

Throw the matches upon my bed
In this boiling light
It swims through this
Hollowed bin to me
Now you ring the bells

There goes your body in a box
That is all i have left
Now this odor lines my shaking bed

There's no order to you
Come with me you dirty wretch

How does this duty send me relief
When i've been cheated of you

Come let's probe these blackened eyes
Come let's smear this spectacle
Come let's slam on the light
This must soon be revised

Hinterland, i shall descend
Hinterland, i crumble within

I shall feel nothing
I shall be rinsed

Why is this delight
Excused as nothing?
Is this the vigor
A vast decay?
This ugly state
I shall not answer
This nausea
I delve to slain

This only takes one moment
Could you explain your meaning

This majesty is no longer
A replica with no taste
May i admire
Your tinted cheek
This lobby of worth
I urge to keep

There's the palest shape
Steady your weeping face
Put the pillow to your cheek
For i'm failing in your eyes
This funeral lies inside
My mourning head
What was, is now a wedge

This state it cannot be sound
For seeing through
The day with fresh eyes
Try to lick these bits
Back into place
These tanks bore there wintry weight
To wake to these scraps of morn
It bears a stone
And that's what i've become
These legs are built upon a surly demise
We all reach for a hand in which we will guide
Let's sit quiet and we shall not stir
Your mouth is fragrant
And lassoing this room
And never is too long to date
Your crusty petals are prying away
Pails of cheer have become stains

You fiend, you friend, you confidant
You hold me against my will
I scurry and scant this hectic step
You climb adrift this boorish racket

This wire, this mane, this coronet
You hold me against my will
I rummage and sear this furious step
You climb adrift this boorish racket

You and me could ride this fleet
You and me could drive the sea

Air dives from your reach
You cover your mouth
Hoard your lovely breath
For which not to speak
You're always sweet
In the darkest days

This frost you stand in
It draws on wobbled legs
This sway is stabled
I gnaw through your gate
You sort what I bend
You jar me for relief
This canter is guided
This room I pace
You hurry wonder
And fasten it in
You idle my forfeit
My dire you mend
The uproar is cautious
The error absent
This order is frantic
For the marvel you'll send
