Flicker

(album: City Burials - 2020)

So cruel your desire
It pulled me under
But the drapery of my eye won't fall
I lie in wait for the night
To find you
Sepia teeth and claw

Hope was changing lanes
I had to turn
Changed my pace
Either way I grew so old

This is how I disappear
Separated from the dead twin
No hound is on my trail now
Journey to the heart of your deceit
And defining my shed skin
With no one waiting
I am waiting for no one

Departure from the terminus
Arriving on the 4th
Weightless in the arms of none
Flick of the switch, my name lit up
Flickering in white, then gone

This is how I disappear
Separated from the dead twin
No hound is on my trail now
Journey to the heart of your deceit
And defining my shed skin
With no one waiting
I am waiting for no one

Changed my pace
Either way I grew so old

This is how I disappear
Separated from the dead twin
No hound is on my trail now
Journey to the heart of your deceit
And defining my shed skin
With no one waiting
I am waiting for no one
