lyrics

You've started sleeping on the floor
a couple nights a week.
Every day's emergence of a new worse thing.
You jerk your arm back involuntarily
at the unexpected touch.
You have to eat.
Everybody has to eat.

Feel yourself slip into magical thinking
about summer, about fate,
about how much you're drinking,
about the bruises, about the scrapes,
about the screaming.
You have to eat.
Everybody has to eat.

Your halfhearted pursuit of beauty or whatever.
The trail choked with foxglove swaying in the sun.
The moment has passed — all moments have.
You have to eat.
Everybody has to eat.

Good news: stop dreading, start grieving.
Good news:
you can stop dreading,
you can start grieving.

about

Erich Zann / The Shrander Seattle, Washington

"His blue eyes were bulging, glassy, and sightless, and the frantic playing had become a blind, mechanical, unrecognisable orgy that no pen could even suggest." — H.P. Lovecraft, The Music of Erich Zann
