In Another State

play
like somebody
murdered your heart
all the songs
and voices
melodic choices
pulled me right
out of the stars

and all the night
was racing
like horses
and rivers
and slivers
of lights
in the creosote
blackness
where madness
attacks us
it all seems remote
cold fights
and shivering
god gives
the whores
self effacing
wings for flight.

Is the light on?
Are you home?
Its so lonely
when you sleep
alone
close your eyes
angel I won't sleep
'til I find you
the light
in my heart
will burn through
you 'til your gone.
