A Song of Sins

about

7th track from the LP "With Envy & Absinthe"

lyrics

a give and take gets you in there late.

a memory man makes for your dinner date.

but there's never any truth.

can I grow up and get you?



"It's hard to sleep when your heart's in the other room."
he's speaking his Spanish, holding his broken broom.

Your thoughts wander where your mouth has gone.

But you're just a person, a sin in this song.


she will make babies or she will make art.

she will grow old and hide that birth mark.

she will make statements that she can never back up.

she'll know that she's lying and really, for what?



she will make up for the bridges she's burned.

she'll swim in the moat and we'll all look concerned.

she's bitten by piranha men who all want a piece.

she'll let them all in and they'll get fat and weak.



I tasted them all
and you were never any different.

I thought so once
before I embraced my secret.



reach for the bleach,

but don't you dare cleanse your tongue

this deed is your need
it's this deed you have done.



instead, bleach your head

and become someone else,

reborn in religion,
just like killing yourself.



with all these things I've done,

It's never enough, never any fun.

with all these sins I commit,

this isn't it, I need more of it.
