Cult Preaching Grounds

I am leaving a voicemail
On your cell phone
I am saying, “Fuck you, I wish that I had never met you”
I am barely conscious
Somewhere in London
I’m about to regret every drunken word in the sober morning
And when you leave me
I’ll write emotional songs
About how I’m the one with the broken heart
And you’re the killer who left with someone
But I am not the hero everybody came to see
They are standing up in anger throwing drinks up at the screen
They are filing out one by one from the theater in my head
Housing my movie

So here it goes
My last piece of advice
If you’re ever feeling down and out
Just know I’ve felt sad enough for us both
So you be happy
And I’ll be me
And everything will work itself out eventually

I am driving
On that stretch of road
The one you said looks antique
You know that road where we used to go
And I am thinking
Of accents
Of Leonard Cohen of Scotland of green grass
Of being inches from your face and your electrical gaze
And being forced to have to be passive
And you are somewhere
In the middle
Of being happy and being settled
And I think it’s such a shame that you have to feel that way
It’s more exciting to be fragile
