flowering blue ribbons

i can hear my breath in your ears

im sorry i didn't brush my teeth

they’ll sink into your knees

blood will bloom and get rid of my uncertainties

i am the epitome of

pain in all your dreams

it's no issue to me if

i get to smoke all your screams

one day i will see you breathing

i come from this family with this string of bad

a string around my upper arm

a string around my neck

a string around my knee

i breathe in fumes i can't not do

im waiting in the bathroom for you

my makeup smeared and you just sneered and now i forget the color of your eyes

i was never a prodigy. this is all so terribly difficult to me.

sunshine and green

shining through your window

the city lights breathe

i see your words catch in his ear

in the corner i sit and breathe very quietly

in a silent-ish moment the disturbed come alive

a shuddery noise rose from her throat as he grabbed her neck and she started to choke

i stand up, feet softly, and cry at the door

nobody tell him what he’s waiting for

oh! a hospital wall!

a breathing and living oddity

taking my heart and breaking it on the floor

breaking your back and youre making a war

oh! a hospital wall!

the pain of the shocks and the smell of the rot

my teeth will fall out and my toes all chopped off

my blood in a goblet and my body on a cross

im not saying you’re mean im just saying im not good enough for being around you and i apologize

im on the edge of stupid and defiant

the defining factor

a substudy of surgeries to make you understand

the non-pain of being me

i think i shouldnt be upset because i’ve got a feel-good family

im the guitar’s cruxifix

a rage of shitty messy gigs

tonight ill piss in your window

tomorrow ill piss on your car

my eyes are glued to your

star lights in a demon spur

a green light means i’ll stay inside my skin

oh, what a temporary shame

when my body fails you will your feet walk the same?

when my heart condemns you will you turn and walk away?

when my eyes are leaking and yours are still tame

i don't know if you'd ever understand pain

and i see you are bleeding under that smile

so you told me what blood was and i understand everything now

in your fishtank skull i see beautiful melodies

some under audit and some stuck in custody

inside his head are flowering blue ribbons

and they wrap around their wrists and they dance around like puppets

by the campfire they glance around teeming blue fire

and the blood blue veins will spill over in turmoil
