lyrics

The world is a pyre
and I like it
Stays burning
In my sleep
all my life
I’ve been holding on to someone
who never
held on to me

Living in a cave
selling trinkets
telling stories
of places I’ll never be
some good lies
never need an ending
tell me a story
that will make me weep

Time is just a part of life
I want to die tonight
so we’ll never sunlight
I met you in the cold
we were dying
you spit dirty ice
inside of me
Swallow you like wine
swallow you like poison
ready for the trial
listen to me speak

you’re upset most the time
like a child
waiting for someone
to lull you back to sleep
Don’t wake up
I’m ok with this dream
like a somnambulist
ambling towards the drink

you wish you could be better
I wish I could be be better
and if wishes were intentions
we could run away together
and this I know for sure
there is no shore
to be sure of,

I miss you all the time
you make me lose my mind
I’ll swallow your skin
tear and rend
eat your blood
cut you deep
wear your heart
on my knees
you are Shiva, you are Isis
you’re my genesis, you’re my crisis
death, rage, passion, hope, and shit
viscera mascara cannibalistic Gordian knit
despair and repair proof of receipt
popular demand widespread defeat
Moses on a river, Oedipus on his back
Nin and Nadja, Icarus in ash,

When we met under the chestnut tree,
I sold you and you sold me
