A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, And A Necklace
Lyrics


You turn on a spindle. You are so much looser now
but you’re not explaining how you gained such
new repose. I touch the clasp of your locket,
with its picture held, some secret you wouldn’t
tell but let it choke your neck. So we imagine a
darkness where all shapes divide, solids changing
into light, with a burst of heat so bright. Well
fine, don’t you do what I want you to. Don’t
degrade yourself the way I do because you don’t
depend on all the shit that I use to make my moods
improve. Near a sea of pianos, there were waves of
chords that crashed against the shore in one huge
and pointless roar.

And there were girls bringing water, like a dream
they came to cure the fever of my brain, and
soothe my burning throat. And they made me a
necklace, hanging beads of sweat on a string of
my regrets, and placed it round my neck and they
were singing, Don’t you do what you’ve wanted
to. Yeah, don’t destroy yourself like those
cowards do and maybe the sun keeps coming up
because it has gotten used to you and your
constant need for proof.
