Oxygen leaks, you accidentally respire me
a vast weave of love and sin that
we are now part of, we are now part of.
Savor me, like death savors life
In furious strife
Harmonies and silence keep me awake
alive, away, and anywhere
where love keeps me warm.
Ignite my bones,
No and don’t look back, don’t look back
Oh, with candor,
You’re a tender knife, tender knife,
Oh my bones, come and thrill me
When lights go out, you won’t be safe
Safe
Look at you, your eyes:
Love dies,
Melting down
I’ll bite my tongue, my knucklebones
Spit my blood onto the ground
If you reverberate anymore
Choke onto your words I’m a-bout
to collapse my mind,
If you disrupt me anymore
You’re just another… another…
Just another fly, in a jar
Stop!
Well I’m a nomad but I’m tired,
I’ve grown a Blindspot, a Blindspot to not see you
Blindspot on my own right!
Blindspot on my own right!
Viperously venomous,
You sound like a rattlesnake
When you open your mouth
Hear that? Shut it up!
Tie your tongue to an anchor feed it
to the fishes in the sea
Please go, leave us now
Quit with dignity
Come on, cut it now
mute it!
