Take Reed's Lake three times It's two a.m. and the ice doesn't give to my surprise So I walk back home take off my boots turn on the stereo My black eyes glaze over at the posters in my room And the real contents of the closet echo what happened On that cursed campus night just last May So I take the postal box and throw it away Not before taking photographs of each object like a Forensic scientist taking evidence of my upcoming death We've all got debts to pay Like Moses when he killed the man and ran away Or when Cassy drove to Athens through the night Telling no one but myself about her new life in the South Renting a room from the drummer of The Apples in Stereo Doing shifts at Ciné and existing completely alone devoid of history or relationships and responsibility Down the block at Ike and Jane every day order the same thing A chicken salad sandwich and an iced coffee In the basement of my mind listening to Why? Lose him in the pit, waiting for the Six I see Justin on their bike, they don't hear me and ride by The whiskey winter scars the Spring, this evil city sustains me Darken the streets in my night clothes, tread gently around the potholes Like Hamsun in Kristiania seeking salvation in hunger Completely satisfied in loneliness, existing without witnesses: A living ghost Slept too late again Listening to favourite bands Frightened of the end To this way of living Heard a friend of a friend You're leaving Michigan All the kids will talk shit But they'll never understand What it's like to sleep in an empty house When your brother's gone and your luck's run out And ice pours through every broken window And all the friends we've known And the Age that's come and gone Oyster Boys and Oyster Girls And all the house shows
