Faster than hope flies cold
through my veins
Faster than cruelty could
drain it out
I commit crimes
and I call them mistakes
Nothing denies
like a heart in doubt
This I know
People flow like streams
where I bathe
Then drift along to a foreign place
The past like a servant
that bends for our sake
Into the lines we tell it to trace
Like how we are wired
Like how we decide
Like how we are taught
Like how we are not
Like how we hide ourselves in vain
Laughter in sunshine
laughter in pain
Keeps pace of heart
in an honest life
But after the fondness
for life is erased
What races on
in my soul besides
Rabid mutts that fight
and fuck and howl till they faint
They too run on
when the moon is lit
Faster than love
turns itself into rage
Faster than I attempt to forget
Like how we desire
Like how we embrace
Like how we give up
Like how we make love
Like how we taste
When we're spit away
Like how we are wild
Like how we are pure
Like how we despise
Like how we tell lies
Like how we're sure
that we're gonna change
That we're gonna change
That we're gonna change
