My good grace is running out
As the handle turns again
And I scramble for the flush
A paper-thin pretence
Say a name three times
Make like everything’s OK
Run some interference
Exit far too late
Shaking and alive with wild chemistry
I cross myself, ready to receive
Condensation on the cistern
Fingers in my mouth
Anointed for the rapture
The stars are coming out
Heaven hung with heavy menace
But I am glittering and tough
Though I can’t tell any longer
How much is enough
Little doomscroll in the morning
Check on professional success
Pretend that based on my contemporaries
I’m more suited to neglect
Kid that I’ll call my family
Obviously don’t
Set a goal and torch it
Watch ashes start to float
Hit the kitchen, put a plate into the microwave
Pour one out while I sit and wait
Stink of piss and disinfectant
Magic nearly spent
But I am full of stars and rising
In cruciform ascent
Heaven hung with heavy menace
But I am glittering and tough
Though I can’t tell any longer
How much is enough
(Reaches out a hand, wipes away the skyline)
Come on baby, I could do this all night
I don’t like to try, and I never get things right
With everything I’ve done, and in my rush to disappear
I can’t help myself but wonder what the fuck you’re doing here
Heaven hung with heavy menace
Feeling anything but tough
Because I can’t tell any longer
How much is enough
And just so it’s understood
The fact’s there in the end
There are people who do good
And I’m not one of them
