Heart attacks, en masse I wear a mask when I relapse- Dumb *** The laugh track’s scratched. Tied a knot out of my tongue, instead of the cherry stem. It’s so sad... how when I fall apart, It’s like I needed that; the blowback, From a shot through the mouth into a brainstem. The hole that starts in my nose ‘cause I snort things that erode- The soul, and leave my bones to hold a fetal pose. My brain recites such delicate prose, Whispered to me by the specter of your notes. A voice I no longer know… Where’d you go? My head’s a black hole. This grey matter’s decomposed. I’m scared to death, talking 'bout “Ruh-rohs” and “Hell nos!” Trying to outrun your ghost but, I’m stuck inside smoke Os... Scattered across the ozone, Riddled with “I don’t knows” I want to exorcise my heart, But I don’t want to be alone. -SLuR

Who said a heart was like rehab?
Heart attacks, en masse I wear a mask when I relapse- Dumb *** The laugh track’s scratched. Tied a knot out of my tongue, instead of the cherry stem. It’s so sad... how when I fall apart, It’s like I needed that; the blowback, From a shot through the mouth into a brainstem. The hole that starts in my nose ‘cause I snort things that erode- The soul, and leave my bones to hold a fetal pose. My brain recites such delicate prose, Whispered to me by the specter of your notes. A voice I no longer know… Where’d you go? My head’s a black hole. This grey matter’s decomposed. I’m scared to death, talking 'bout “Ruh-rohs” and “Hell nos!” Trying to outrun your ghost but, I’m stuck inside smoke Os... Scattered across the ozone, Riddled with “I don’t knows” I want to exorcise my heart, But I don’t want to be alone. -SLuR
