irresistible are the lies you tell yourself

overheard in the night

in harmonizing voices you once knew

it isn’t true

that the weight you carry

will eventually pull you under

come on back from where you have been

the city may be sleeping

but death will never be still

there will always be

the love you gave

untwist the heart that swallowed the pain

things will go fast things will go slow

hold on at all times

your moon travels best in a wagon
