Cold breaths whimper and ache, spine bending
When I say your name and it's another mistake
And it tastes like vinegar in this endless ocean
I am nothing but a stubborn wave blowing
Tasting my blood and my sweat and realising
I am forever alone, forever beating and conscious
I had to wake myself up just to say ayudame
These ice cream walls have ears and they're listening
Eavesdropping children with no mouths
Falling in and out of sanity and bleeding thoughts
I see colours in everything
Colours in dreams of freedom, those pale blues
Vermillion, echo-white, rosy pinks and dreamy lilacs
Apricot and lemon, sea foam and cyan and lavender
Silvers and golds and sapphire, pea-green leaves falling
Light-grey, light blue, black blue, mousy brown hair
Life breaking me down into a fine, powdery nothingness
I've never been much of a masochist, but tonight I'm looking
For a deadly kiss, and the weight of this anchor on my chest is tedious
I'm drowning in you, drowning in thoughts of you
Oh, the things I would do to you
How I would love you, and how I would kiss you
Such a perfect man, a gloating example of perfection
Feral admiration, in between your hairy legs
I am a candle in moonlight
Drunk on late nights, idle and wasting time
I pray to those lights, the flickering light of my cigarette burning down
Missing your touch when it's gone
Soft pillow, angel song
Wrapped in the silk of nostalgia unwinding
You see me tied up and watch me helplessly grieve
Those days when I'd sleep and I didn't know much about love
But now I feel too much, I can't possibly bare the ache much longer
You're a flowing river though my soul, my corrupted innocence
Longing for the softness of your touch
When you're gone I'm silent and dark
Pouring from my brooding heart
Unbearable and unhinged in daisy fields of madness
Sweating and it won't stop, I hear your voice guiding me towards
Some kind of fruit treasure, some kind of life wagering
Neurotic hedonist in blue silence, hermit pilgrim in rose gardens
Infected with your plague, I am the host of your disease
Shrinking with every burgeoning emotion
Fuck me until it hurts, until my tears bury into your skin
Watch me fade like a jaded offering
Shutting myself off from the world, melodramatic
In my cocoon of wisdom, this plastic bubble of insatiable lust
This plastic bubble of faith
Every time I break and have to put myself together
I bare seeds, plushy red berry bulbs, mossy slime in weeds
Drops of blood perfectly in place like the last ship to sail
Like loot and fossils and stories of forgotten legends
I dream of throwing myself off of a cliff into chopping waves
And I see my body there on those cold blue rocks
Bending into funny death shapes
Lost in great mountains of broken things
Compass towards success, every moment of bliss
Every suitcase of mental baggage
Such a noob in love, but I'm learning to love fast
Learning to love and learning to let go of the hurting
Every blessing is a curse, every night is a stone's throw away
Every breath is a saint and every shadow is a door
Every time you deprive me I always come back for more
And every river leads me back to you, just us like precious gold
Little bottles of happiness, little pills of emptiness
Lethargic in trenches and pits filled with secrets of youth
Falling into your arms, suicide in a hotel room.
