lyrics

pillage through the dirt
and you’ll come up with filthy hands
as empty as promises.
how does it feel to be a godsend?
i try to resist,
but you pull tight the ropes you’ve tied.
it’s in my DNA,
subtle as crooked teeth,
my heart pumping my veins full of gasoline.
just wake me before the flames catch up with me,
or smother me.
don’t let me fall through.
don’t let me fall through.
you are holding me down.
my eyes are sulking dogs at the foot of your mouth.
i’ve only seen the light from underwater,
but i think i’m getting closer.
