about

Vaguely inspired by the novel Whitechurch by Chris Lynch.

lyrics

I knelt in the grass
Metal in your hand
Cold steel touching teeth
Watching the hours pass

Don’t you trust me, friend?
Aren’t we just like them?
Snakes in blue and rats in black
Brothers born on the same rack

Write another poem for me Oakley
Should I open up my mouth a little wider?
So you see my faith in you, my faith in
Small town shutters closing when I wish they would stay open
Maybe you and I deserve to die in ditches
We deserve to die in gutters
We deserve each other, Oakley

We deserve
Oakley, we deserve
Oakley, we deserve

I deserve you

I lept from the train
(I lept from the train)
Pulled you inside again
(Again)
Must have broken both my wrists
(Must have broken both my wrists)
Must we still resort to this?
(To this?)
Panic settles in
(Panic settles in)
Makes your heart a friend
(Makes your heart a friend)
And I don’t cherry-pick
(And I don’t cherry-pick)
I know the long and the wrong of it

Write another poem for me, Oakley
You can send it in a letter from the prison
That they built inside our city maybe sometime
When your ego has recovered if the system
Hasn’t taken all that pretty, manic starving artist bullshit
And replaced it with the list of medications you deserve

Oakley you deserve x2

I deserve you
(And you deserve me too)

And you deserve me too...
