Please doctors don't worry, not that Ruby liked to be burned

She truly was the dreamer, mommy's secret singer

Would just rarely let a lover beat her

Lest she had it coming

Well, once or threece maybe, that's it

But who's something

Daddy used to hum it with a smile on

But never with the lights on, long nights just numbin

Slutty perfume, and ruined pork roast, soaked wardrobe

Scars

Ruby grew up with bubble gum cheeks runnin

Streets

Sweet child, steep summit

Plummet, pink tile and all (Tylenol) a weak stomach

The driest eyeball, waterfall calm, dream caught, night crawlin, subtle "aw nothing"

The humming birds sang they saw nothing

But soft rain hanging from the plumbing

Flooding from her grimace

Image hiding in this furnace

Soul soakin in the summer like it's breaking in her sunburn

Monsters in her road home, she knows them by their number

Her daughter named her mother, she was weeping drunken tangos

Sunken under vanity table, in shrunken angles

Rusty angels fuckin with my day dream, the chuckling stain sings

The drain chokes, the day goes on

But not a day goes by

That she don't sing those songs

So the day you fly is the day I died

Today I die



Dear weeping Ruby, tears streaking cheek bones

He moans, he remembers everything, singin three feet of sea foam

It's getting deeper Ruby, we failed you as your brothers

Your genesis was a whisper

But exodus like thunder

And ever since the summer I died

I've been under high tide

I can't take it no more

This pain wading my time

I'm weighing me down, dear Ruby

Would you mind if I hang around

Dear truly

Would you mind if I stayed and drowned

Red Ruby

Would you hate it if I painted out loud

Dear truly



Pain staking His palms He can make it along

But can't make it alone

There's strangers playin your song

Can't wait for that long, in Yah's cradling arms

The Creator of all, imperfect Ruby
