If there's a great beyond, well I don't know
where we end up where we go
is there a heaven up above
a fire down below
is there anything at all
after the curtain call
For Shakespear life's a play
an Ahab chased the whale until the whale took him away
to a watery grave benieth the ocean waves
did it make him whole again?
or did he fade away
no one knows what happened to Poe
the days before he died
found on the streets of Baltimore
with madness in his eyes
wearing some strangers clothes
mind broke like a toy
maybe he just lost his way
staring at the Void
if there's a God well I can't see
if He's real or just the mystery
of how we put together faces out of weather
like Jesus in a stain
maybe we're all insane
No one knows what happened to Poe
the days they couldn't find him
maybe he was following a love he'd left behind him
pareidolia pictures from a girl who life destroyed
maybe he just lost his way
staring at the Void
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
