lyrics

Bury me in carpet
The same ones stained with spit
Pouring from my head wound
Just as soon as I learned to quit
I mistook a phony smile
Worn so well on my yellow face
For the glow of hopeful aging,
A broken leg running in place
So watch yourself age through me
Like you never did before
This is the place I'm fucking stuck in
One foot in and out the door
A better simile for black eyes
An even worse one for the skin
The kind that's hanging from my dry bones
Superglued in lines to fit

And I'm awake, unfortunate
Looking from the shore to the green lakes
Envious in broken bits
And I'm a tidal wave of boredom
A broken hourglass or two
And in years to come we can grow apart
If that's alright with you

So many dead letters in writing,
After promises are made
My bedroom is a mausoleum
My sheets became the grave
I broke my teeth out on the winter
The skulls of cold and falling snow
I broke the fourth wall in the last year
Just to live among the ghosts

And I'm alive among the ocean floor
So cold and so aware
I walked right through the bathroom mirror the jagged nails ripped out my hair
And in the dark they'll come and find me
Just as vulnerable as they'd predict
I'd've thought me dead the same as you
The lesser half of a sinking ship
