The Icon and the Axe

I am never going to love another soul,
even if I tried to.
And I am never going to live another life,
even if I’d die to.
And I am never going to rest my weary head,
or fold these arms together.
And I am never even going to give a shit
if life goes on forever.

They say,
“Oh, lord, the devil went down
to a deep, dark lake, where my body lay drowning
held me under the sea,
and I point to the river like the ocean was my body.”
