Darker Days

Lazy day, someone calls me
I would like to see myself at a party across the room
Wouldn't you?

Crazy night, did we not speak?
I close my eyes and see you
And you freak out
Tall and loud, mean and proud

If your rain won't fall mine soon will
Falling fast upon me like an anvil
On coyote, that's me
And fall I might and skin my knees
Or sink beneath the surface 'til I'm buried
And fall I may into darker days

Racing through the morning, sleeping through the night
Opening my eyes, dilating in the light
Shivering my bones dry, shaking with delight
If God had sent his own sign it wouldn't look like mine
I am not my own priest and you have not been yours
Fashionably distant, casually coarse
Rationally wasted--the time is gone, of course
Passionately razed but the weather's wrong, the time is gone

I do not want a solitary life, I don't want to die young
