Coins (with Sary Moussa)

Cover me in oil
head to toe
Fill my mouth with coins
gems and flowers
Remember me
my hands my knees
my voice lives on in song
Remember all that’s gone
Where do you go when home defeats you?
Love only lasts for so long

Snow
03:14
|
|||
Ghostly pools, gathered water
grow near the walls, under window sills
Thunderstorms bury us whole
Water spills from the roof
Water seeps through the holes
Devouring, devouring
Home by the sea
Stories of old
Snow on the shore
Swallow me whole
Snow on the shore
Swallow me whole

Ruins

Black dog always watching
Lightning strikes nearby
Is it just a warning
Or are we out of time?
Desecrated ruins
Teenage paradise
As the water simmers
A generation dies
Alone among stones
We’re left to perish
A lifetime postponed
Desires gone
Catatonic winter
Monophonic sun
Misdirected anger
Nothing new to see
Percolator coffee
Burns slowly right through me

Angel
03:08
|

I could never swim
With my head
Underwater
Always looking out
For the scythe
For the angel
Driving in the rain
I can see us both
Toppling off the highway
Into the sea
There’s the scythe
And the angel
Waiting for me
The apartment floods
Ceilings crumble down
Armed men in our house
Glass floats in the air
I see the scythe
I see the angel
