lyrics

How'd I get here? What is this -
tattooed on my stiffening wrist?
I taste sulfur smoking upwards
whirling towards my loose teeth...

I'm so tired... I can't sleep...
Just outside they wait for me

I can't fix these things - these empty dry legs
I've stopped bleeding, there's only violence in me

I have sisters safely in their homes
far from this, thick with kids not nearly grown

groaning forth from everyone outside:
colorless hopelessness from blackened eyes

I take with me the only thing I've learned:
lovers leave, fighters lose, all things will burn

burning fear - the poison in my bones
paralyzed, horrified to be alone

a lonely drain on everyone I know
Oregon! Oregon, my home sweet -----
