Oregon... Lyrics


Gavin Castleton Oregon...


How'd I get here? What is this -
Tattooed on my stiffening wrist?
I taste sulfur smoking upwards
Whirling towards my loose teeth...

I'm so tired... I can't sleep...
Just outside they wait for me

I can't fix these things - these empty dry legs
I've stopped bleeding, there's only violence in me

I have sisters safely in their homes
Far from this, thick with kids not nearly grown

Groaning forth from everyone outside
Colorless hopelessness from blackened eyes

I take with me the only thing I've learned
Lovers leave, fighters lose, all things will burn

Burning fear - the poison in my bones
Paralyzed, horrified to be alone

A lonely drain on everyone I know
Oregon! Oregon - my home sweet -----
