Standard (EADGBE)

teeth ripped out of gums hit

sparkling gray squares of concrete

screams in technicolor pain

doubled over spitting blood

 the freezing rain

 never felt so good

 to wake up in some town

 on some floor to some sound

voices rattle through my veins

 you're slowly imploding

 your worlds are corroding

please let it work itself out

we've got time to melt

you haven't said a single thing

a six month recurring dream

oil stains

glisten in this light

fluorescent yellow blue and red

it's not worth talking

when everything goes left unsaid

 the freezing rain

 slants down in icy sheets

 on some street where someone

 is cursing what they've done

 and walking quickly toward the train

cold and dejected

in a brightly lit steel frame

please let it work itself out

we've got time to melt

you haven't said a single thing

a six month recurring dream

your eyes are a cloudy morning

my lips are this sealed letter

ineptly yours, sincerely sorry

 it's something you feel

 in the sole out of your shoe

 on a loud city bus

 on some aching afternoon
