A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, And A Necklace

You turn on a spindle You're so much looser now But youre not explaining how You gained such new repose I touch the clasp of your locket With its picture held Some secret you wouldnt tell But let it choke your neck So imagine a darkness Where all shapes divide Solids changing into light With a burst of heat so bright Well fine, dont you do what I want you to Dont degrade yourself the way that I do Because you dont depend upon all the shit that I use To make my moods improve Near a sea of pianos There were waves of chords That crashed against the shore In one huge and useless roar And there were girls bringing water Like a dream they came To cool the fever of my brain And soothe my burning throat And they made me a necklace Ganging beads of sweat On a string of my regrets And placed it round my neck And they were singing "Dont you do what youve wanted to Yeah, dont destroy yourself like those cowards do And maybe the sun keeps coming up Cause it has gotten used to you And your constant need for proof"
