The Brakeman Has Resigned - Microwave

I’ve been pouring on cement

I’m in up to my face

Exploiting my demons

Laying myself to waste

It doesn’t really get better

That’s just something they say

No, we’re all racing to the bottom.

Let’s skip to the last scene

I want to be here to watch it all

Don’t pray for me

I’m not blind

I’m just sick

Endlessly looping concrete

Rubbing stiff knees in the back seat

Feeling indolent

Sleeping and dulling sprained ribs and mucus with codeine and compliments

When all our stickers are peeled off of the bathrooms that we shit in in the

places that we visit, i’ll have nothing

Nothing to show for this

I don’t want to get sucked under the tracks

I’m not eager to prove myself right

But i keep shoveling coal under the boiler

This train is bound for hell

The brakeman has resigned

(racing to the bottom)

Apart at the seams

(racing to the grave)

This is a time piece

(racing to the bottom)

Let’s skip to the last scene

I want to be here to watch it all

Don’t pray for me

I’m not blind

I’m just sick
