Float Like a Carcass, Sting Like a Memory

from True Love is Impossible (For a Parasite Like Me) by TJ Felix

lyrics

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
