shells are sold by the river (and bliss is only sold in jars)

a song from January, 2008 that i am reviving:

buy in and place your bets down/ drown the water/ bury me under/ call me out (cards held out) by the river/ walk just like peter/ sharpen and shiver/ oh, you’re selling me out, but I won’t tell

what is this place/ where you left me so cold and betrayed/ your insolence is deafening/ what would I give to save your core/ how does one render souls/ by the right hand of god, i will endeavor to love her/ what more could I endure

convincing grin/ you're a specimen to inspecting men/ a hand-held to them/ benumbing medicine/ you're as fake as the smile you cringe/ you’re letting go/ with such disdain, you know

what is this place/ where you left me so cold and betrayed/ your insolence is deafening/ what would I give to save your core/ how does one render souls/ by the right hand of god, i will endeavor to love her/ what more could I endure

you came and you saw/ but you didn’t conquer anything at all/ you discovered a destructive spectacle
