Old Misery's House

from The Slow War of Plantae by Captain Vulpine!

lyrics

In banausic failure, I devalidate
My catafalque vandalized by people I hate

My ghost is risible, haunts only itself
It's not only visible, it sits on the shelf
And it waits by the ledger
While the inkwell dries up
And it laughs at the author and drinking from his cup
It pities the oddments, these paperback relics
And the epigone gone with nothing to sell but
A man built of sawdust, painted well
Now he'll bore them in hell

[He'll be welcome
Come to hell, come
You'll be welcome
Come to hell son
You'll be welcome
Come to hell]

The chiaroscuro, black and blue
He ended in red, with his back to you
Deracinate him, and piss on his bones
What will they find when they search through his home?
Nothing it's broken, and devoid of hope.

Some say no one lived there at all.

A somnolent living.
A lacuna heart
A charnel existence in fugue from the start.
