Gone Away At Last

the search lights beg to dim
in the blood of nightimes cover
no human sounds within
the lonely thoughts of lovers
the routine hammers solid
in the heads of spit and spoiled
(only) broken from contentions
of the jealous snake’s recoil
the lonely thoughts of lovers
what if and yet to pass
satisfaction deals are over
and gone away at last
so strike back from the corner
hold back nuthin' more
kill your understandin'
and patience nevermore
outrun the speed of light (my friend)
go hide among your thoughts
the searchlights may grow dim again
your love may not be sought
at last the heartache found you
the silverspoon will rise
and choke you black and bluer
til the stars turn from your eyes
surround yourself with sadness
surrender to the noise
of distant dirges comin'
to keep you company
gone away at last.
