Evil Ceiling Shadow Blues Lyrics by Harrison Lemke

More Postcards from Purgatory

2015

[Verse 1]
Finally went to bed
And the coffee I'd had
Too late in the evening
Chased itself in circles through my chest
Chased itself in circles through my chest
And the fear of death
Came down to me
Beat against the ceiling
Spread its layered wings under the whining light
Under the whining light
And I prayed and prayed
For the feeling to go away
[Verse 2]
Out in the sticky air
I try my best to breathe
But it's like breathing ink
And the sycamore leaves fly right into me
Like ghosts right into me
And the cicadas grip
The peeling bark
Like robot sentries
And their alarms are going off
Their alarms are going off
Because I'm not welcome here -
At least, not anymore
[Verse 3]
If I could fall asleep -
If I could call you -
If I could face the music
Or find a way through -
If I could read my fate
In the ceiling shapes -
If I could wake up whole and new --
