When sober is your new drug
|
I'll be that little cut festering
|
Beneath your clothes
|
do blood and tears make you feel less alone?
|
in the garden where you sleep
|
did you hear the statues crying out your name
|
I walk dead dragging my hand against
|
buildings as I pass
|
soaking up red and green from the envy that I feed
|
turn the picture frames down
|
and you can cross out each face's eyes
|
no one lives here
|
they just leave, cheat, steal, or die
|
|
Your skin pale as snow in dead of winter
|
pressed against my lips
|
She said her heart for me would beat forever
|
how soon you forget
|
|
I tried to plant a seed where nothing would grow
|
this has all grown so old
|
And a memory of a summer scene
|
has faded in the cold
|
|
My head against your chest
|
your foot tapping against the ground
|
To fill the absence of sound in a room without heat
|
and void of a heartbeat, you're void of a heartbeat
|
|
I just burned down the source of a thousand emotions
|
wasted on you never again I'll think of...
