La Costa Rasa

Silence

​

White light flickers to numb but I’m sicker than this

Dumb blind nicotine rush, crash still video kiss

Ten dead eyes from a paper thin wall mock my own

In this temple of emptiness shadows rest
 

I waited for this one, I stood by the picture

I reached out to touch it my hands on the features

​

Turn off the lights, let there be choice

To cover this silence with honester choice

Turn off the lights, let there be choice

To cover this silence with honester choice

​

I can feel, salt water coming out of your mouth…

​

Catch my face in the glass, cut my hands in the dark

There is always this memory mourning me

Write a name in lines shield it from jealous eyes

Seems like everything happens in dream-time

 

I waited for this one, I stood by the picture

I reached out to touch it my hands on the features

 

Turn off the lights, let there be choice

To cover this silence with honester choice

Turn off the lights, let there be choice

To cover this silence with honester choice

                

I can feel, salt water coming out of your mouth …

​

Te quiero Adela

​

For dumb crazy love affairs that fuck my lonely head

Those I remember and those yet to come

These speed freaks with punctured arms boring me dead

With their search for a better kick waiting to die

For TV and cable news, war entertainment

For red revolution and death on the pavement

Pseudo-intellectuals feeding off hatred

For those who believe in banners and swastikas

A father who pound his fists into the woman I love

For America red, white and blue

For arrogance ignorance, parasite art-vandals

Stealing the stars from another man’s eyes

 

Turn off the lights, turn off the lights

Turn off the lights, Turn off the lights

 

I feel… I feel …. I feel…
