Just as he hit the ground they lowered a tow that stuck in his neck to the gills. Fragments of sobiquets riddle me, this three half eaten corneas who hit the area stalk the ground. You should have seen the curse that flew right by you. Page of concrete stained walks crutch in hobbled sway. Autodafe a capulary hint of red, only this manupod crescent in shape has escaped the house. Half the way fell empty with teeth that split both his lips. Mark these words, one day this chalk outline will circle this city. Was he robbed of the asphalt that cushioned his face? A room colored charlatan hid in a safe. Stalk the ground, Stalk the ground.

And you are colder than oldness could ever be. And you are bolder than buzzing bugs.

I've got to rearrange my life, I've got to rearrange my world. I miss you, I need you. I've got to keep my memories aside, I've got to try to live again. Time was when there were things around to be afraid of. I've got cause, I've even changed my mind to turn the tables. Time was when there was no need to stop and rearrange it. Now I've got a memory and I don't want to change it. And there's a time for waking up and feeling down, It's when you have to pick your feet up from the ground. Time was when I had you around, I was a strong man. I need you to help make the change and be a new man. Takes more than a day and a night for giving. It's not so easy just to change your way of living. Time was when there were things around to bother me. The crime was, I couldn't start to change my history.
