Didn't people die every day that you did whatever it was that you did before the day that you died? All while the uncomfortable truth emerged and whispered that you made no good goddamn difference, while the others stress to burnish into new time the lie that says that even that has got to stand good for something, even if, in truth, it was good for absolutely nothing.

Places Named After Numbers, by Frank Black (These Lyrics are Amazing)
"Beyond below above, a gravity that slumbers
at the center of, places named after numbers,
a different kind of love.
(Chorus)
She was right,
she was right there,
she was right there all the time,
collapsing all the way.
And though it seems far from here,
light beams disappear,
into her blackend hair,
I wonder if they reappear.
She was right,
she was right there,
she was right there all the time,
collapsing all the way."
