In the checkered orchard, I came alive
Under the blue valley
With a head full of midnight
I escape between the rows of trees
Down the ravine
In the majesty of the San Joaquin
Lonesomely wandering
Cold in the checkered orchard, I came alive
Under the blue valley
With a head full of midnight
Idiot’s blood drops like a dagger
Pink tears flow
As I sink into the After
Leaving the day to close
My body spills into a secret well
God gave me the wish
For religious stillness
Showing shivering skin
Living with this illness
Showing shivering skin
With you, my endless illness
With my endless illness
Walking into blackness
