World was Divided
I used to think the world was divided into good people and bad people, that you could pin responsibility for evil on certain definite people and punish the guilty. I'm still going through the motions.

For So Long
He can only hold her for so long
The lights are on but no one's home
She's so vacant, her soul is taken
He thinks ''what's she running from ?''
He Can Only Hold Her

Dark Presses Tight
Dark presses tight the steaming asphalt city, crushes the fretwork of windows and lettered signs and chimneys and watertanks and ventilators and fire-escapes and moldings and patterns and corrugations and eyes and hands and neckties into blue chunks, into black enormous blocks.
