lyrics

Living Like The Lightning (Waking Like The Rain)

Well my hair's a little greyer
I ain't getting any better
If anything it's turning me around.
My thoughts are getting darker
And the time is getting shorter
‘tween The Monster and The Man who keeps him down

You’ve become a shelter,
When it used to be a pleasure
And the mothers and their daughters are now game
I used to be a dreamer,
But you can’t dream without slumber
And my body is beginning to show the stain

Life is running rampant
But the dead they are directing
And it's pulling me apart
At the locus of my heart
It's too soon for lamenting
And it's too late for relenting
When you're like the lightning
(And waking like the rain)

Well the calls are getting closer
To the point where I now fear
And the consequences chase me round and round
And they echo in the corners
Of those broken nights and mornings
And they wake me with their everlasting sound

There is no sense of pleasure
We're apart but your together
And the time and light Is ripping me in two
So I'm sinking in a stupor and a slumber
And awaken
Waiting for the song thats past its due.

Life is running rampant
but the dead they are directing
And it's ripping me in two
And I don’t know what to do
It's too soon for lamenting
And it's too late for relenting
When you're like the lightning
(And waking like the rain)

about

The Killing Words London

My mind is an ashtray
Filled with coins-
But an ashtray nonetheless
Dreams of avarice, dreams
of returning to the fold. Dreams
of St. Francis of Assisi- out there all alone
Naked within the wilderness,
vision well-sprung bittersweet
bearing down on the bottom of the barrel-
But dreams of avarice nonetheless.
