die in the summertime (rje)

Singer:elvis depressedly

scratch my leg with a rusty nail

sadly it heals

color my hair but the dye grows out

i can't seem to stay a fixed ideal

childhood pictures redeem

clean and so serene

see myself without ruining lines

whole days throwing sticks into streams

i have crawled so far sideways

i recognize dim traces of creation

i want to die

die in the summertime

i want to die

the hole in my life even stains the soil

my heart shrinks to barely a pulse

a tiny animal coiled into a quarter circle

if you really care wash the feet of a beggar

childhood pictures redeem

clean and so serene

see myself without ruining lines

whole days throwing sticks into streams

i have crawled so far sideways

i recognize dim traces of creation

i want to die

die in the summertime

i want to die
