Speed Fortress

I dropped you off
At the airport
And my thoughts
Turned to sin
What evil froth
Could I lather up
To daub my too-clean head?
What sacrifice perform?
What ritual blood spill
What destruction celebrate
With you gone
Flying into the sun to melt the wax in my wings
Burn myself up
Purging sin with pure sin
Only death is sublime the fire's so bright
It invites me to die
But I'd never have you
In sackcloth and ashes
And the blood rushes back
To my head as I wake
To your call to your call
Down my long dungeon hall
As you beg me me to put off
Death for awhile
To live while i have a life
And die when we're dead
To live while i have a life
And die when we're dead
And then I say
You don't understand
You don't know what it's like
Aw fuck it
I'm going back to my
Speed fortress
Where i don't have any needs
Don't need you
Don't need food
Don't need to sleep
All I need is booze
In my speed fortress
My feelings locked up tight
My brain's a coil ready to spring
I can fuck I can fly
I can do anything
In my speed fortress
No one can get inside
No one can hurt me
Cuz I have no feelings
I can't feel shit
You can't make me
Yours is a foreign tongue
A foreign place
Blue speck
Drifting into
Infinite space
In my speed fortress
My feelings locked up tight
My brain's a coil ready to spring
I can fuck I can fly
I can do anything
Anything I want
You can't stop me
I'm sucked back
Into my black
Cold confort
Into my lonesome void
Into my lonesome glassedin void
You can't love me there
You can't touch me there
You can't reach me there
You can't fuck me there
Fuck you
Don't tell me
I'm deluding myself
I'm a teenager
