'Fire in the Hole' I spent a nighttime chasing poltergeists and I fell down You told me to stay put till you could bring the car around. I’m waiting in a pitch black parking garage by the side of the Vegas Strip I’m paying for an oversight that you won’t admit And I’m not sure who I’m talking to right now – It could be you or it could be him Yeah I think it’s him. Come on, a lifetime chasing poltergeists you just break out? It’s a cop-out I didn’t stop you… though I was ordered to Who’s gonna watch over you now you’re out there without us? You took an out and it nearly broke me in two… if I tell it true. Little brother Is it a bother That I’ve been calling you? Oh Western Nevada in the summertime Is hot and ungodly dry I see heat shimmer up off the pavement Like a failed goodbye Rocksalt, highways, and shit to kill We pretend it’s all the same – He’d pull a trigger in a heartbeat But he can’t say your name. The ghosts of miners whisper down in the tunnels That are stretched beneath the desert sand like rivers They belonged to men who hunted silver down in the darkness I’m a man who hunts the dark down with silver. I fell farther than a person should fall but I’m tough and I pulled through Just before I hit the ground I thought of you. I didn’t try to stop you But I wanted to. Shotguns, roadmaps, and roach motels We pretend like nothing’s changed – He’d pull a trigger in a heartbeat But he can’t say your name. It’s like every mention of you is an act of violence He can’t say your name so I’ll say it in silence. If he really won’t say your name then I’ll say it in silence. – Olivia Chrestomanci, esbeani@lj
