I put myself through scratchy throats And eye drying crimson nights For a promise
But I'm not doing what I love I'm loading pressure on my Weak spots constantly and Hoping with wandering glances That I'll catch gold in the wind With my lashes beant down
With my lips curled into half hearted sneers I wish this Hollow mask would fade slowly To reveal Walking on all fours with My mouth open to catch your spit Fun nights of tickling to the last Dying breath, I'd Slide ******* to hush your words And drink up your gasps I would Rip my tongue on your Flypaper if you laid it open
If you wished it, your dreams could Enslave me so I'd bend back until my spine felt dizzy But you wouldn't know that My laughter would be biting back My blood from its boiling point I would wait, and in goosebumps pray for Release
I feel Every bodies pain Through the way the hold their mortal dolls Closed tightly from the world Their words, as sweaters to contain Their misery it ferments slowly The wishes that they left unkempt and growing wild from Dead innocence, their seeds Crawling blossoms from the dirt Catch my fingers sliced open As they linger to prune
I'd flounder for the night your Fireflies would glow Dimly from tired eyes That peeled the day back From lovers you watched Spitting as if to Bleed yourself back into the ground
I'll wait As widows to the wind I'd call and hope for the stars to answer in your name For you wandered through millennia To face this Time of quivering fevers breaking sweat storms Of pouring glasses full of Last years abandoned daydreams That curdle as we hesitate To drink them For a moment where our lives seemed Less real And we hunger For a glance that would wash clear The smog of our confusion And tie the tattered ploys of our Restless youth to the stars
I'd steer them so you could sleep If only you needed me to
