Desert Bell - Tweedy

Oh, I am sorry you won’t recognize me

Born and bred to be led

And be dead by degrees

I’m taking a moment to express my regret

Before I forget how it goes

As fast as our blood can crackle with blame

The arrows of eyes

Defined our embrace too soon

And piercing the place where even the moon

Would never dream to shine

The deluge day-dreaming turned to pain

Blades of blood

Rained beneath

Silk teeth

I barked like a cricket flaked like a bone

Tricked and switched off in a heap

And buried myself so deep and so true

No one ever saw through

Thoroughly cruel and alone

Am I so sorry you don’t recognize me

I am always the one

You lost to all tomorrows

Oh, look past your anger and please render me down

In a hole in the ground

Mixed with the earth

Remember these words

And let me no longer be worth your sorrow
