LIVE FREE OR DIE



Let me understand

I want to understand here, badly



Can we block out

some kind of symmetry here?

Can we broker a deal?

I promise you I'm gonna live free or die…



You keep your blood, I keep mine,

or else can we trade?



Either way, I don't care

Just let me feel

the same way I did before

not so long ago



red wine stains

low tables

cigarette ash

snow, no hope



though there are mantles of light

30 thousand miles high,

we're all toiling down here,



scrabbling, grabbing,

screaming at the other motorists



Wanting to get laid,

getting laid,

and then you can't come



Falling drunk through the brick streets

of a city once burned

by Sherman



Every normal template

burning my eyes, I see



sick hallucinations
