titles go on spines

i'll see where giving up takes me

leagues below me ten thousand dead kings
open their hands and the asphalt sings and the
violence from some irrelevant war
erodes my impulse to ask for more of the

years i spent hating these dreams in my head
oceans of death and uncomfortable beds
unable to sleep but i can see the edges of

angels to catch me if tonight i break and i'm
lonely and sobered but wide awake i'm
lonely and sobered but wide awake
