May 2016
Wash your hands in the river
Fall asleep on the stairs
Sending out strangers to get the paper again
Cigarettes radiate off strands of her hair
You think you're in love again

Static stereo night stalker sing me to sleep
Put me out of my misery in my kitchen sink
Please don't call the doctor he said I'm not clean
I am not your poltergeist but
But I lucid dream that you love me, outside of my body.

I heard it in the voice on the radio
That clicking noise from the back of my throat all the way down to your stomach
The kind of thing that will give you the shakes if you're not careful with it
I don't wanna control it, my fathers sadistic
and so is my mother.
But we only pretend that we love her.

I dare you to look at me the way you would at your fathers grave
Pin me to my coffin tell me I'm safe
I know you're not scared of me yet
But you need to be.

Put me out
I gotta get out
Put me out
I gotta get out
Put me out
I gotta get out of this hell in myself.

I always hide in my basement
Waiting to die
I always hide in my basement
But I never tried
