Her face flickers on and off
Under lonely streetlights
She loves yellow when she’s high
And we’re made of the sun tonight
And we are tied down to time
But those are your words not mine
These streets have been forgotten
But the sidewalks did alright
She loves yellow when she’s high
But the shade just ain’t quite right
And our intestines are knotted
All together all too tight
She’s been blinking both her eyes
And we’re made of the sun tonight
And we are tied down to time
But those are her words not mine
And my jaw cracked
On the pavement
And her head bled
Onto me
And her fingers
Were red and glistening
As she rubbed her blood
Onto my teeth
And the world sighed
Its breath was sour
And the river
Smelled like piss
And her fingers
Were red and glistening
As she rubbed her blood
Onto my lips
And we were tied down to time
But those were her words not mine
Sweet lips like bullshit
And blue raspberry gum
The first kiss
The bullets
I miss everyone
And the world is far too senile
To recognize us
Picture this and you’ll get it
Dirt on a tile floor
Blood on a carpet
Consider this for just a minute
Church bells and glass doors
Pains in our organs
And sleet on the pavement
And perverted thoughts
Resistance
Permanence
I wish I was gone
But do what you will
And do what you must
Dead monsters are still
Just monsters at heart
So do what you want
So do what you must
The world is too senile
To recognize us
And the flowers will grow
In pensive spirals down
Where our eye sockets were
When we’re deep in the ground
And no one will know
What we’re thinking about
When the vines creep up slow
From inside of our mouths
I’ll forget how to read
I’ll forget how to walk
I’ll forget how to see
I’ll forget how to talk
(x3)
i swayed back and fourth
as you stood there, motionless
with your hands clenched tight
around that little light you had
the shadow of what you've become
still haunts me to this day
the light on your driveway was the only thing I could see
as i walked home and I passed your house
awkward hugs
and late night phone calls
won't fix my health
or make this right
and i'll lie awake
until you text me back
cause i'm not good at
hiding my feelings
are you up this late at night?
cause i wanna let you know
that i don't feel alright
so you can ease your mind
cause that pain is mine
