lyrics

We spent our nights dancing all across the sky,
Stealing Orion’s belt and jarring excess light.
We’d look down staring at vacant tracks,
Tracing the fault lines and watching the growing cracks.

You took me through fallow fields
And presented the season’s yield—
You reaped in the summertime—
And poured me a sour wine.
We drank to transparency,
Headstrong in our apathy.
We smothered all the lights
As our skeletons danced in sight.

Out of the floorboards so slowly they’d rise.
Taking a silver fork and gouging out our eyes.
Our upset stomachs, so deep they would shout
For what our twisted tongues were trying to go without.
