Fetid Rose Pile Throne

from On the Spectrum by Mayhem Lettuce

/

about

This poem was originally published in Grahm's local community college 'zine in 1994. If memory serves, it won some manner of award.

lyrics

Piles of roses outside of your door as I'm knocking and knocking but you do not hear me so I am reduced to a shivering pile of sorrow and hatred and love and confusion.
I weep on the piles of withering roses and wither myself in a faithful enactment of love and devotion and also self-sacrifice knowing that even the stench of dead flowers will not make you open the door for me anymore.
Stubbornly sitting on piles of roses I breathe my last air and I cry my last tears as the last bit of life is chased right up to heaven I don't even see as you open the door.

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.
