Slashed Face

pouring coffee for me
she gave me a smile
such a pretty girl
turned to the side
protecting herself from the stares
such a pretty girl
with such a deep scar
just below her eye
down her cheek
to her mouth
a white scar
I leaned into the counter
every eye in every booth on me
“ what monster cut up that sweet angel “
“ no one deserves that “
“ such a shame, a shame. “
“ she’s still so pretty, but… what a shame “
she motioned me to the back,
I followed her through the kitchen
sliced bread and beaten eggs
through the door
now outside
three hours past midnight
she reached over my shoulder
kissed my neck
her arms slid down my broad back
and from my back pocket
she pulled my blade
with her hands in prayer
she unfolded my knife
her scripture
the blade, her bible
blood raised in her veins
a choir of angels
feet together
and head down
her hands reach for mine
she slides me the blade
while she softly cries
Her voice - barely a whisper
yet steady and sure
she says
“ take me to heaven ”
and turns her virgin cheek to me
I raise the blade,
because after all -
this is how saints are made.

Inside every truth
God’s sacred clock
the moment is marked
along the wheel of time
here it stops
and there it starts
between then, is now
and now always dies
fire falling from the mouth
water poured out from his side
gather around my body
lift away this pain
how many fingers
across how many hands
will pray for my soul today?

I Won't Stop
02:09
|

|
From my birth
until the day I became I man
From then to this instant
I have never stopped
Everything inside me turns
every word from my mouth is heard
it’s quiet some days
give me your time
I have been forced to lie
to protect the truth
If worlds can be made
if a promise can be kept
if you listen to secrets
if you keep them well
I might die tomorrow
or at the end of this song
Remember me:
I won’t stop.

Softly and tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
Softy and tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling, O’ Sinner
Come home
All my life
Every second
I was told
and I believed
Fear and trembling
pride and lust
blindness and hate
terror and shame
burning gold
so that I might touch his altar
on this earth
I believe
I see
I cannot reach
I can only feel
Softly and tenderly
Jesus is calling
Though we have sinned
he has mercy and pardon
pardon for you and for me

Your Mouth Is A Drain
04:16
|

your hands
are broken
your teeth
are shrieking
your tongue
is empty
your skin
is dying
your eyes
are sinking
your heart
is bleeding
your back
is teething
your chest
is caving
your legs
are breaking
your hips
are hollow
your feet
are swallowed
but your mouth
your mouth is a drain
your mouth
is a drain
your mouth is a drain
no one nothing never
and everything
your mouth
is a drain
