I’ve died a thousand times but now I take the time to rest
And wait to catch a hail and ride, arms I kept inside my chest
Are now outstretched
I’ve clipped the wings off swans with whiter backs
I’ve lived four walls away from suns and moons and peace of mind
Shattered stained glass palaces from the inside
I’ve buried mine
I’ll bury you
Till peach trees grow above your skull
I hold more power in my pinky than a thousand palms
The words of prophets fall on ears that’ll never open for them
I found my face
Jury’s still out on my voice but that’s besides the point
I wanna yell before my hair’s too long
I wanna powerbomb every single wretched moth
The water’s running off my back
I’ve lost my mind at pale junctures when I couldn’t hack it
Shrieked at splintered doors and wrestled till my neck was blackened
Cards of clay make stupid houses
You’re built on sand
I’ve tried a thousand lives, my coffins come with cushions now
I’m pushing past my anvil eyes, I dropped them in a monster’s mouth
It chipped a tooth
I float from coast to coast
I damn it all to hell, your pony cars and metal wrists
My head’s all full of froth, there’s nothing to be precious with
It’s spilling over
I wanna yell before the whole thing’s gone
Before a heavy woman’s song can spawn another sea of moths
To sink this velvet hall
Your house is not a home
I’ve heard your clockwork lies
I’ll walk in busted kicks
And fail
Watch hell rain from the sky
I’ll fool myself today
An ocean’s sick and lonely bones are dancing in a vast expanse of epitaphs and tangerines
It’s bastard kids and buttercream
If you’re fond of salty air
Then cry the coves I’ve had to drown in
I’ll beat it out of you
Tomorrow I saved my life
