when i die and my brother dies
bury us sided by side
so we can decompose
so we can decompose together
into each other’s bones
so we can decompose
together
from our vacant flesh
the nutrients and chemicals
will mix into the soil
and become animals
in grass
in mud
in leaves
in the spongy bread our children eat
in all that speaks or sings
to become untameably
but now we’re clinging to that spirit
like some broker to cash
and we’re jumping into dumpsters
with our veins full of trash
and we’re driving in the country
to our favorite tracks
we’re turning over stones
that we’ll never put back
cause there’s something
something in our blood
yea there’s something in our blood
that’s all
when we sink when we sink down
into the pit i mean the swimming pool at troy’s
i hope the axehead floats
and i don’t get called a goat
oh oh how lovely to go with you
and i saw you staring empty
at the fullness of death
you said “all i see is awe
and i sense peace in this path”
and now we’re dancing in the basement
to our favorite tracks
i look at you across the room
and know what we have
we’ve got something
something in our blood
we’ve got something in our blood
hat’s all
