Scratching itches with bottle caps, grooves In my brain cut from diamonds and blood Flinging my shadow like darts at a wall Frustration, when dizzied, transforms into love Scabs and guitar riffs I'd shred with my teeth Gnawing her lips to bake blackberry flesh Stamping on baubles, an aureate hail In a winter that reeks of sweet summer death This circus of wildfire charcoals my hair I'm yearning to stay but it blazes me out Cold air and bored stares, a knock on the jaw I thought I had finished bedazzling myself I've underwhelmed the brightness I chase Adrenaline fawns over prettier girls Cold and alone in a fitful night's sleep When you're fevered and worn, the splinters stick deep.

Scratching itches with bottle caps, grooves In my brain cut from diamonds and blood Flinging my shadow like darts at a wall Frustration, when dizzied, transforms into love Scabs and guitar riffs I'd shred with my teeth Gnawing her lips to bake blackberry flesh Stamping on baubles, an aureate hail In a winter that reeks of sweet summer death This circus of wildfire charcoals my hair I'm yearning to stay but it blazes me out Cold air and bored stares, a knock on the jaw I thought I had finished bedazzling myself I've underwhelmed the brightness I chase Adrenaline fawns over prettier girls Cold and alone in a fitful night's sleep When you're fevered and worn, the splinters stick deep.
I can't tell whether I had fun last night because my insecurities were going insane I reckon the girl only kissed me because she was high but there you go So this poem is about feeling like you don't fit in somewhere that excites and warms you so much :)
