Ribbons

Under the bridge
I’m fishing for river eels
Drinking away the feels
Lost, trying to get lost
Been so long
But a year comes around
Time to take off the mask
Like Ferlinghetti unwound

Your blood is in my blood
And it’s tearing me to ribbons
Baby Duck
Your blood is in my blood
And it’s tearing me to ribbons
It is tearing me up...
It’s tearing me up…

Sebastian
You don’t look so saintly
Took your dreams by the root
A tycoon of your body
For awhile
I took shade ‘neath your tree
‘Till in the hollow I found
Your shaved and chained chimpanzee

Now sister
I can’t go back to that place
You make so many excuses
Your need needs you to not face it
Been so long
But a year comes around
And in the shadows of streetlights
I hear his hymns from your mouth

Your blood is in my blood
And it’s tearing me to ribbons
Baby Duck
Your blood is in my blood
And it’s tearing me to ribbons
It is tearing me up…
It’s tearing me up…
