Pathos Prairie

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 we're gonna Change --- Pathos Prairie - Parquet Courts
