There will be no purpose
to them, to them

And there will be no purpose
to them

There will be no purpose
to them, to them

No, there will be no purpose
to them

The creatures great, the creatures small
came when called to gather 'round.
When long ago the gods did make
their creature-gathering sounds.

From within a semi-circle vast
and ever deep and wide,
the creatures held their holy deities
in such sparkling, innocent eyes.

The gods they spoke in hushed tones,
so rumbling, low, and grave.
Hushed tones that turned the creatures' hearts
to a dismal, grey dismay.

The gods proclaimed, then disappeared
each one by one by one.
And nothing did they leave behind
save Earth and Moon and Sun.

The creatures held each others’ hands 
to help them ease their pain.
Then some began to sing a song
to sing their hurts away:

There will be no purpose
to them, to them

And there will be no purpose
to them

There will be no purpose
to them, to them

No, there will be no purpose
to them

Sleep Sigil 2 Coming Soon

Remember last summer…seems oh so very long ago…when Charlie Zero and I put out some music and poetry as Sleep Sigil? Well, we’re doing it again. A new record called Cult of Code will be out soon. How soon? Pretty soon. 🙂 On this Thanksgiving, I’d like to give thanks for mad collaborations with good friends, for maintaining some sanity by creating things, for long-term readers, and for warm slippers on chilly mornings.

Sleep Sigil 2 Coming Soon

Liquor Run

It’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
It’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun

Well it’s Friday night and I just clocked out
Pay-check in my hand so you know what I’m about
Throw the truck in reverse then I throw it to first
Peelin’ out the parking lot ‘cause I gotta quench my thirst

It’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun

Now I been out in the field all day 
and you been cleaning your life away 
What we both need is couple of drinks
To whet our whistles - tell me whaddayou think?

What’s that you’re saying? 
The cabinet’s dry? 
There ain’t no bourbon and there ain’t no rye? 
There ain’t no vodka and there ain’t no beer?
Well what the hell are we doing just standing here?

It’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun

Now the liquor store man he knows me well
Calls me Mister when he makes that sell 
Got a big box ready to lock and load
With bottle after bottle of that liquid gold

It’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun

Didja get that whiskey?
You bet!
Didja get that rum?
I didn’t forget!
Didja get tequila?
¡Sí, Sí, Sí!
A bottle of scotch?
Oh yes indeed!
Didja grab some beer?
A case or two!
What about the wine?
Some from me, some for you!
Didja get some gin?
Of course, I did!
Well then get on home and let’s pop them lids!

Let’s drink until we can’t drink no more!
Let’s dance on the couches and sleep on the floor!
Let’s stir up shit like pigs in pen!
Let’s get up tomorrow and do it all again!

When it’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
