lyrics

This existence is famine
These thoughts are spy planes overhead
This condition is exhausting
A dream of swan songs projected again
What yellow eyes come to greet me?
Like plastic hands breaking glass from within,
they smile mangled and argyle, ugly
as my limbs buckle under the wind

And like the birds circling, dreaming of skin loss,
a horde of plagues harbor me in a skeleton dance
They sing a song of only sickness and death:
"Don't you dream of forgetting that you ever had a chance?"

Coaxed out of my dreamless sleeping
Coaxed out of my wedding gown
I blink twice as a missing punchline
A leech only knows to bleed anyone around
My stomach burns with the thought of your leaving
My skin recoils at the shock of your hand
I was born to no current, a vast sea
I was dead before my tongue met the sand

This is the storm you know, this is the ship you've built
This is the loss, let it mold what the sickness killed
This is the afterthought. lovely and lacquered sleep
This is the void, let me drink with finality

Can we dance in your yard like the neighbors won't see?
Can we shed all of our skin in pretend halloween?
Can my ribs be a home, climes like ladders, amazed
at the loss of the breath, at the filter of face?

I'm not brave enough to lay down yet
with the rats and the mice and the neon lights,
orange and purple in a makeshift sunset
Tell me all about what the boys back home think
Tell me all about what your third eye saw last night
Tell me all about what the boys back home might think of me
Tell me all about it while I'm off alone getting high
