quiet now feel your breathing
nothing feels as good as the skin your in
and I’ve got some freedom left all my reasons
down in a pile on the floor like dirty clothes
guess I’m depleted deep down I need this
so paint the smiles and restart the reverie
lights go out feel you proving
to both of us that all of this is real
and I don’t believe it somehow repeated
lips full of spies razor wires versus knives
I smell the sulphur from unholy altars
why do these feathers never ever bring release?
in the world there’s a hole but I don’t know how to fill it
with castles and wishes
in that hole there’s a light but i dunno how to reach it
and my heart cannot feel it
silent go the spirals
that used to bring me light from the morning doors
now we’re both cooling worries re-spooling
soon we’ll be wound even tighter than before
and in starts the hatred the subconscious basements
flooding with lies that will stick like super-glue
violent are the daggers
that slash into the white sheets of our bed
and I’ve always known you known you're my thumbscrew
twisting my neck ‘til the muscles snap and rip
but me I’m not helpless I tear in so reckless
I lap up the blood like a wolf within your spell
in this space there’s a gap but I don’t know shrink it
with crystals or mystics
in the crystal there’s a word but I don’t know how to speak it
and my tongue cannot claim it
in the world there’s a hole but I don’t know how to fill it
with castles and wishes
in that hole there’s a light but i dunno how to reach it
and my heart cannot feel it
