David can you hear me? I’m slowly slurring your name Nodding on the white whale Oblivion easing my pain Too many Earthly years Drowning in the heat of the sun Leaning into my fear As my sinking's begun  Drifting further at sea and drowning in me Milwaukee is clouding my path and I’m looking like trash Boris can you see me? You’re blurring into my sight An alcoholic tumbling And slowly losing the fight Too many blacked out days Then quickly reloading the gun I’m rapidly losing my way And blinded by the noise of the Sunn O))) Drifting further at sea and drowning in me Soviets clouding my path and sympathies past Pushing a rocks glass up a Holy Mountain pass Sobriety’s last laugh in a humorless, far gone past Sabbotaging a battle of a lifelong Sabbatical Punish the radical by ostracizing the truth Geezer can you help me? Your rumbling's shown me the way A black nativity Shrugging at halcyon days Ambition willingly destroyed A child that’s drifting at sea Leaning into the void and living for tomorrow’s dream Drifting further at sea and drowning in me Kentucky is clouding my path and I'm happy at last

Hours spent as minutes pass - Preparing your last laugh Time stands still and pressure builds - Your patience fading fast Relation reversed Pushing hard against the tide to change its current path Tables turned and tables set to litigate the past Face to face and back to back still standing side by side A lifelong bond behind us now its dying on the vine Hear no evil - speak no ill - hindsight going blind Entropy upon us now and broken ties that bind Verses and vice and versa sympathy a thing of the past Verses and vice versa know one gets to have a last laugh Swarming sharks smelling chum circle back just for fun Stitching wounds that won’t heal - cuts too deep - damage done Petty fueled - pitiful - shots across the bow Know each other far too well to show compassion now Verses and vice and versa sympathy a thing of the past Verses and vice versa know one gets to have a last laugh Verses and vice versa we're bored and just more of the same Verses and vice versa enough for us to share in the blame Blame Shame Change Blame Now it’s done the past is past no need for shame or guilt A rubbled mass of what we built a puddle of spilt milk You go your way I’ll go mine in search of better days Hope you’re happy on your path and never lose your way Selflessness and selfishness can be the death of friends Mix them up and spin them round - an unforgiving end Verses and vice and versa sympathy a thing of the past Verses and vice and versa know one gets to have a last laugh Verses and vice and versa we’re bored and just more of the same Verses and vice and versa enough for us to share in the blame

Glowing brake lights on a Dead end street Bound and gag - a bloody sack of meat Land a thump and drug across the floor Hanging lightbulb then drugged some more Pain inflicted - hapless Victim Mad, sadistic - Darkly wicked Blacked out windows and blacking out Every minute is now in doubt Look for meaning and second guess Unknown captor and thoughts a mess Pain inflicted - hapless Victim Mad, sadistic - Darkly wicked No explanation rhyme or reason Not for ransom in this killing season Cast as captive through a sliding door Cast as victim in this house of horrors Jumbled thoughts try to look for meaning A need to punish - helpless screaming Water boarding - gasp for air Pick your savior and say your prayers Pins and needles that prick your skin Hope against hope for a rapid end Broken lightbulb and a swollen eye Vision failing no tears left to cry Pain subsiding - acquiesce Scream exhaustion shout ’til deaf Pain inflicted - hapless Victim Mad, sadistic - Darkly wicked Realization - this is it Hope of rescue has been blown to bits Tracing steps to what put you here Final moments thoughts finally clear Pain inflicted - hapless Victim Mad, sadistic - Darkly wicked No explanation rhyme or reason Not for ransom in this killing season Cast as captive through a sliding door Cast as victim in this house of horrors Jumbled thoughts try to look for meaning Dead exhausted - death of dreaming

A blinding light, winds and firestorms agonized crying Never never never again Unanswered cries of help, panic and desperation Never never never again Dazed and stricken survivors search for lost families Never never never again Choking lust, crazy with thirst, drinking from poisoned pools and streams Never never never again
