Oh, the wake looks nice. All the wakeless nights! Daddy might have thrown him away. A face only a mother could say I love you dear, and though you're queer that don't change a thing. Not a thing? Not a... Oh, the wake looks nice. All the wakeless nights. Nights! Said he wants to die. Oh, told me late last night… Something gone awry. Said he wants to die. Oh, broken down all tattered, nothing mattered… Instead he wants to die. Sadie wrote a letter to God and wondered why he never replied. By twelve years old something took hold of her tiny hand… Such a darling girl… Here, try on your grandmother's pearls. They come in black? What a thing to ask... No child, they're meant to go with your wedding dress. Wedding dress? But the marks on her wrist came back... Oh, the wake looks nice. All the wakeless nights. Nights! Sadie wants to die. Oh, told me late last night, something gone awry. Sadie wants to die. Oh, broken down all tattered, nothing mattered... And Sadie wants to die. The home is where the heartache began. Cause children really don't understand. The things that you said forever tainted.

There are people left behind in the wake of what seemed a good idea at the time. But surely I'm not… Surely I'm not the only flaw in the equation. If I could weed me out… If I could weed me out I can sense danger, I can see clearer… Clearer? Onward, Hop! Fall down, lead gracefully. Onward, Hop! Fall down, lead gracefully. Onward, Hop! Fall down, lead gracefully. Onward, Hop! Fall down, lead gracefully (fully). You fell down… Fall down! You fell down Razza… You could set your clock to him, but he would never stop. Onward, Hop! Fall down, lead gracefully. Onward, Hop! Fall down, lead gracefully. Onward, Hop! Fall down, lead gracefully. Onward, Hop! Fall down, lead gracefully. Yeah… Onward, Hop! Onward, Hop! Onward, Hop! Onward, Hop!

In hurt, I think of all the ladder-climbing goals that humans... Share with me a life, a mirror, don't play dumb, debate with me the times. My fear is substantiated. Let's look back and just be glad we made it at all. I grew a whitehead so big I thought it might take away my... Face my fear of getting older… Can't begin this argument again! Again... Again, again. My fear is substantiated. Let's look back and just be glad we made it at all. This is the last time I'll see you on Saturday. This is the last time I'll see you… This is the last time I'll see you on Saturday. This is the last time, the last time...

Who's that blonde girl with the radiating smile? I think I heard she's... I heard she's a little impenetrable, the queen of Babylon. Belligerent, and rambled on... Something about blue? A blueberry morning. But not for you. For you? For you? For you! I'm naked and I'm walking around. I'm naked and I'm walking around.

The boy's painted legs… Legs? The best jeans say made. Say made? Made in Sri Lanka. Have you ever been? Been to Sri Lanka? Only... Every time you walk in your walk-in closet… Turns out your ass has been all over the third world. Blue vending machines on every other level. I want to scream don't drink. Don't drink… Don't drink, don't drink! Don't drink… Don't drink, don't drink! Don't drink the water. Hip hop blaring upstairs. Pedestrians are driving chairs. Hip hop blaring upstairs. Pedestrians are driving chairs. Chairs? Please allow me to be a little more deliberate as I… I deliberate, and liberate a young mind from the coal mine. Yeah, we're all fuel… Yeah, we're all fuel... Yeah, we're all... Yeah, we're all fuel… Yeah, we're all fuel… Yeah, we're all... Yeah, we're all fuel… Yeah, we're all fuel… Yeah, we're All! Yeah, we're all… Yeah, we're all Pedestrians.

In The Fold

In the fold, like a wrinkle in time changed the world. And these fireworks lit the sky. Shining light into households untouched by our sighs. Our sighs… Never told, like this story that beckons me now. I don't know how? Don't know how… Oceans may separate one from the last. Dig any deeper find only the past. Remedies thought to have settled by now. Ugly heads rearing cannot see through glass. A denouement so climactic it lies beside me. A denouement so climactic. So climactic! I fall asleep not breathing at all. Not a whisper escapes me, just small gasps of light. I cling to the night. This may be the last time I fight it. I fight it… I fight it… Fight it! A denouement so climactic it lies beside me. A denouement so climactic. So climactic! I fall asleep, no dreaming tonight. Not a whimper escapes… I feel small, insignificant feelings of why? Why... Oh why… Why this quiet will soon take my life? Embracing the silence. This choir sang all through the night. I’m breaking my silence. I dreamt I found him… Slaughtered him right. No referee was there calling the fight. George buckled, and fell to the ground. But no candles… No candles. No candles, no candles… No candles. No candles… No candles lighting the sky.

I can’t remember when things started happening to me. I guess I’ve always been this way. You must not look into my eyes. I’d have to tell you why… Why? The moon has never looked so bright to me. A transformation's drawing near, I fear me. When I awake, I will not recall. Oh, lock me up and toss the key, toss that key. Rage ignites, and I fall victim too. This thirst, this blood now all that I see. And I've got to have what's coming to me or I may seek it out. Rampant, or running, or frothing, or sinking my tooth into youth (soft flesh of the living). Stealing the life that’s stolen from me. Waiting and watching you, nothing escapes me. Nothing escapes me… Nothing escapes me. Nothing escapes! The moon has never looked so bright to me. A transformation's drawing near, I fear me. When I awake… I will not recall. The moon has never looked so bright to me. A transformation's drawing near, I fear me! I awake, I will not recall. Oh! Oh… Oh, the moon has never looked so bright to me. To me, to me, to me… A transformation's drawing near, I fear me. When I awake, I will not recall. Lock me up and toss that key.
