lyrics

My blood tastes salty and rusty
I sense death, death lurking like a feral dog
Defeat, defeat, defeat
New moon, no moon, old moon dying
old moon dying
This blood seeping as from weakness
I feel summoning me summoning
I might crawl, I might crawl into this pit here
Defeat, defeat, defeat
this pit here
New moon, moon that gives no light
no moon, moon that gives no light
Wheels of the freight clacking by
snow hisses on the windshield of the rental car
the factory is still. The machines, the machines
I lean on the cold wheel
Stones breaking stones in the rearview mirror
my dark eyes, holes a rat might hide in
FBI binoculars
lady it’s been worse, bad as the moon burning
Tonight I honor you
lady of the black moon
here at the stone I learn my song
at the stone I learn my song
I have run twice as fast
tunnel through the
tunnel through
night goes on and on
night goes on and on
(egg anonymous)
