You brought cocaine to the wedding
You did molly before GWAR
You said "After tonight I'm done with hard drugs."
King Lucid Dilated Star
Crackle from the raining Faygo
Violent J up on the stage
You'll be sticky in an hour
You'll be dead before Sunday
I want to fiddle with the dial between less and more alive
I want God to try and stop me
I want my friends to fucking rise
Oh sweet liches of the city
Bring your funerary garb
It doesn't matter what you're buried in
When the magic drags you up
Judd Crandal tried to warn me
But I don't give a shit
If you come back but you come back wrong
I'll consider it a win
I wanna make some dog shit choices
That make it feel like you're not gone
I wanna fantasize about necromancy
Until I break down on the lawn
You almost died on top of Fuji
Backpack wet with beer and rain
You said "After today I know my limits.
Surgically remove them from my brain.
I wanna feel maenadic madness.
I wanna open all the doors.
I want you maggots to be jealous.
When you see my final score."
I want them to make a word that is more final than goodbye
I want to say it once, exactly once,
At the funeral tonight
I want the kind of thing you can't take back
that you can hear even if you're dead
I want the platonic form of closure
to tuck me into bed
I am stumbling like an idiot
and I am drunk for the first time
Some woman I don't recognize says my name 3 or 4 times
I am squinting in this fireball of whateverthefuck.
Gobs of rain or tears or I don't know maybe bleach
mix with my snot
Because you were always here
And now you're always gone
Those two things like scissors in my belly button
When I break down on the lawn
We ate whale in the dim light
You puffed cohibas in the street
You said "If they want things to be sacred
why'd they make everything for keeps?"
I couldn't keep you from what killed you
But I could have been there at least
I didn't mean to sleep through that phone call
That's it
That's all
I'm sorry
