I had nothing to water down my methadose
but a warm can of creamsicle flavored vodka soda
like a daughter I held her close
& overheard a friend pray
for a lost part of me
float like a carcass,
sting like a memory
my tears go boing boing
no my tears go shimmer, shimmer
fortune shines upon us all
so go ahead & kiss her
tears in my skull go rattle rattle
no, my tears never glimmer
I'll keep walking down this road
until the light starts getting dimmer
sitting under this canvas
I hear the sky spill
love springs eternal,
but I might die still
my tears are salty & rare
I'm ur chalice & u dont care
but if I hold ur last water,
you'll never get ur fill
float like a carcass,
sting like a memory
my tears go boing boing
no my tears go shimmer, shimmer
fortune shines upon us all
so go ahead & kiss her
tears in my skull go rattle rattle
no, my tears never glimmer
I'll keep walking down this tunnel
& the light just keeps getting dimmer
im a splinter in ur soul
a moldy morsel in ur begging bowl
stomachs will turn, heads will roll
if I dont find my own life to hold

A Kiss on the Forehead

without a deathwish
would we have ever met?
shallow unmarked grave
we lay in an unmade bed
stop kicking me in the teeth
wen all I need is a kiss on the forehead
stop kicking me in the teeth
cant u see I'm already dead?
but loving u was an honorable death
u take the edge off mortality
youve gifted me w the longest last breath
but pls dont look forward to me
ill always be here in some form
caught in a captured room
cause baby, I got no fear
but you've got ur impending doom

I Can Hear My Angel Sing

look at all that's grown from the rot
I let u hurt me cause it's all you've got
//
(wounds open up from wars fought in my youth
I push my finger into the bruise)
bodies keep piling higher n higher
but I just keep smiling cause I'm tired
my back is turned toward the land but I can feel the fire
with cigarettes i burn my hand, I turn away from the empire
no one owns anything
but their first & last breath
I can hear my angel sing
I no longer fear the sweet release of death

Total Love
05:00

why won't u hate me?
can't u see how desperately I want to let go?
there's such a beautiful blade in my hand
dont tell me there's something worth waiting for
Theres simply no time left here
I'm not waiting on u anymore
there's simply no space for mirrors
punch the clock, kick down the door
I was broken as a kid
but never had a crutch
do u ever think about wut u did?
chances are I've never meant that much
ur ghostly hand can dismantle me w a touch
sunny day
go away
I just wanna blow out my brains
sunny day
bloody day
endlessly circling a clogged drain
let me go
dont grab at my soul
I need total love to regain control
to swallow me whole
wen i fukin die throw my ashes at the sun
we dont need these bodies where we come from
I'll follow u down every secret path youve carved
this is for u, for all the nites u watched me starve
let me go
dont grab at my soul
I need total love to regain control
to swallow me whole
