My Very Last December

Blowing on embers of my very last December
Dripping with sarcasm, I run through the night
I can't get rested in this empty pit of a town
I feel I've always been in this cramped up space
I can't see the path of bliss through my ignorance
It burns and tears my hands and my feet
I find comfort in the elders' wisdom
And calmly sip the last of my tea
It's imported from China

Towering shadows of faded heroes
Double parked criminals lurking inside
Ancient spirits hunger for the new
As neon and chrome shatter their pride
No horses, no fences, no battles, no pain
No soft and patient women to stifle the rain
Stroll through nostalgia and swipe a reflection
Of lingering hopes and false history
The panic and blood of a thousand Sioux warriors
Cannot wash away the lies and intrigue
No horses, no fences, no battles, no pain
No soft and patient women to stifle the rain
No circles of powder in the shape of your dreams
No chance to recapture all of the things

Mayhem Lettuce Port Byron, Illinois
Mayhem Lettuce was formed in Port Byron, IL in 1993 when two sad teenage boys decided to channel their angst into music.
That music sits at the crossroads of King Missile and Portishead with a dash of The Cure and a pinch of They Might Be Giants.
Mayhem Lettuce recommends:

Fellow Quad City natives, Pitch Black Manor is the greatest goth band of all time. It says so right in their bio.

The Illusion of Chaos: 1995 - 2001
