lyrics

What you thought silently,
You could have said it to me

Was it a giveaway
That you were careful, not to say?

This is not a song for you
This is a song for Charles Bukowski
He was afraid to say, but more afraid not to say
He was afraid to say, but then he said it all, anyway

I don’t want to give it to you
If I don’t know where it goes
And am I to resurrect it
From the dead man’s passion prose?

We love the dead
And all the lost thoughts from their head
Some we never knew

It’s not a song for you
It is a song for Charles Bukowski
He was afraid to say, but more afraid not say
I am afraid to say, but more afraid not to say
It’s not a love for you, I haven’t seen your brutality

I’ll take a volume of you
And then I’ll put it in its place
In the record
