Don't Let Me Die Nervous

weather like the crucifixion
dreaming of a whore that’s sparkling like a sparkler
dead eyed starlet calm
laid you down upon the coats covering the bed
and said you are my brothers and what’s his is mine
the blinder you get the more you can taste
don’t let me die nervous
the kids are eating candy skulls
your face is buried in the engine
the breaks were singing as you slide someone else’s name
like a crosseyed baby teething on a rusty knife
i’m gonna have your backside
lay your plantation down
jump the fire, burn your hair
don’t let me die nervous
you can’t hear a noise til your tongue’s bitten out
don’t let me die nervous
sweated off the number on the palm of your hand
cold rain about to bust in between your bones and skin
forgot what I was begging for
you walk like a healthy meal
the car alarms are moaning someone else’s name
jump the fire, burn your hair
don’t let me die nervous
the blinder you get the more you can taste
don’t let me die nervous
don’t let me die nervous (8x)
