GREAT APES LYRICS

"Withering Heights"

knives trace the ribs
inking porcelain blood
bed of languish,
with a blade in the lobe
the seriated parasite -
the gnawing unknown
in this withering body,
breathes expansive youth
letters to family - there’s no divinity
the universe isn’t god’s,
it’s randomly serene
test batteries / failed remedies
these passing particles
will be reabsorbed and seen
the parting partner
to have and hold in only health.
a hollow remission
of normality masked

then love like a whirlwind -
a purpose and home
in your arms I crumble.
the hips rot out (this again)

doused in pain and pills / sleepless in chills
on sticks at twenty six,
bones searing every day
scalpels through the skin / they’re fusing metal in
emerging bathed in sun
oh, the rebirth of decay
now new fears rise:
how can I provide
incandescence and a life worth loving for?
in debt and in support,
I will not abort
you are my worry now,
and I don’t worry anymore
