Fifty Feet
born inside a creek
under the strangling georgia heat
she was a miracle
town of fifty feet
there isn’t much that you can be
the calm is terriblle
pills and gasoline
you are a magnet to their feet
it’s pathological
said “far as I can see, this is the play they’ll bury me, it’s unavoidable”
all of these answers that nobody finds
piling on lie after lie after lie after lie after lie
you’re searching for truth you can pick from the vine
it’s covered up time after time after time after time
daddy wasn’t mean
but, he had left you without leaving
he’s invisible
your mother was the cops
and she was violent in her law
she was impossible
now you’re doing everything to try to prove that you were saved
a fake fanatical
you ended in the creek
where you began
where you were cleaned
the long sabbatical
all of these answers that nobody finds
piling on lie after lie after lie after lie after lie
you’re searching for truth you can pick from the vine
it’s covered up time after time after time after time
it’s covered up time after time after time after time
it’s covered up time after time after time after time
