This Is My Destroyer

by My Altamont

/
1.
Walk to town, eyes down Jet-fueled thought slithering across the ground Command, console No control, my destroyer follows it around If you knew what I do You'd drive off because I always come unglued You're dumb, and I'm blind Out of my mind, my destroyer led me right to you You're on top and I'm below Dignity tucked under my pillow Pink dots save me from my thoughts My destroyer says it's all I got This is my destroyer Behind my eyes Unpaved, the solid state of my mind You're good, and I'm bad I was glad my destroyer told me that I died Went red, destroyer bled Quivering limbs and homunculoid head Went blue when I saw you You have a destroyer too And this is my destroyer And this is my destroyer Some days I'm all right My destroyer takes me by surprise Some days I'm all right My destroyer takes me by surprise This is my destroyer This is my destroyer

Not everyone you've abandoned Is still standing by Not everyone who is lost is Wondering why Sometimes a lonely way Taking your name down from the Jumbotron Find a new place to stay And a new home for the trumpeter swan We can see it now, the scratches On the back of the door We can see it now, no mistaking What you're better for Sometimes a lonely way Taken alive in an uncivil war Trophies and glass displays Rehearsals for third place, forever more Not everyone you've abandoned Is still standing by Not everyone who is lost is Wondering why Sometimes a lonely way Taking your name down from the Jumbotron Find a new place to stay And a new home for the trumpeter swan
