Take this down ca 1993    Grey dusk envelops the dying stream    Failing yet holding sway    Slowly going away       Grind me down, into the ground    Down again, when I drown    I've failed again       Absinthe always this way    Absinthe my loveless angel       Shaking nervously with intenser days    The pissant drags a bloody soul away    Building beds out of flesh    Rotting time, an empty caress       Grind me down, into the ground    Down again, when I drown    I've failed again       Absinthe always this way    Absinthe my loveless angel       A long way to go   when chained to the earth    Yesterday was mourning   today's a brighter dirge
