Death is EverGreen

FOR WHO IS MY MASTER IF NOT THE SOIL I LONG FOR?

Death is EverGreen

Will you return to me?
With your knife and hood
Will you return to me?

At the kiss
of your corrosive lips
I fall to pieces
at your death grip

Will you return to me?
And take me for good?
This time, this time

Third time’s the charm
or the omen of the crow
on the granite marking stone
where I rest, completely unknown

Dea  th is ev  er  green
De  ath is ever  gr     een
D  eath is   ev  ergr  een
Dea  th   is evergr ee   n

You’re breakin’ up
You’re breakin’ up

“Who are you anymore?
This is not my son
Who are you?”

Who are you?
Are you death, my love?
Have you arrived?
Will you return me?

The drop of rosé
From the shattered glass;
Tape does not fix anything
Neither does the razor
Nor the tape- sorry,
I already said that

Will you take me?
I’m tired of begging
on my knees
and underwater
fluid is my lungs
expansion was never
my strong suit;

I stay
I linger in one place
until death sweeps me away

Death is evergreen
Death    is ever   green 
Death is  evergreen
 Death is
   ever
          green

DEATH IS EVERGREEN.
IT WILL COME.
IT WILL COME ONE DAY.
I PRAY. I PRAY. I PRAY.
IT WILL COME.
IT WILL COME ONE DAY.

DEATH IS EVERGREEN.
I SAY IT LIKE A CALLING.
TAKE ME. TAKE ME.
SAVE ME FROM THIS FALLING.
LET ME PLUMMET FOR FUCK’S SAKE.

DEATH IS EVERGREEN.
LIFE IS DISTORTION.
ETERNAL PERFORMANCE.
LIFE IS CONTORTION.
WATCH ME.
UPSIDE DOWN AND INSIDE OUT.
AWAITING DEATH.
DEATH.
DEATH.

WITH ITS BRANCHES
LIKE THE SMOKE
INSIDE MY LUNGS.
LIKE THE ROOTS UNDERNEATH
MY ARMS.
IN MY EARS AND IN MY EYES.
DEATH. DEATH. DEATH.
DISGUISE.

DEATH IS EVERGREEN.
DEATH IS EVERGREEN.
DEATH IS EVERGREEN.
DEATH IS EVERGREEN.
