I tore the seams of all of your (her) clothes
I stole the seeds out of her bowl
I broke the mattress springs just like chicken bones
There was a time I walked freely in the night
And I kissed you in alleys and bars
Yeah I felt every sting of desire
But it’s gone.
I killed the bees with the rusty garden hose
Fell to my knees like I was before a throne
I can’t see anything
Inside the box you left with Touya’s things
Just some of your hair, and pieces of string
Tied to a shard of glass
But I’ll take it with me
Yeah I take it
There was a time I walked freely in the night
And I kissed you in alleys and bars
Yeah I felt every sting of desire
But it’s gone.
I suck down a drink and sink into that hole
I wait for the dream to hit me like a stone
Where I sprout wings and hover all alone
I cleared the weeds off of her home I tore the seams of all of your (her) clothes I stole the seeds out of her bowl I broke the mattress springs just like chicken bones There was a time I walked freely in the night And I kissed you in alleys and bars Yeah I felt every sting of desire But it’s gone. I killed the bees with the rusty garden hose Fell to my knees like I was before a throne I can’t see anything Inside the box you left with Touya’s things Just some of your hair, and pieces of string Tied to a shard of glass But I’ll take it with me Yeah I take it There was a time I walked freely in the night And I kissed you in alleys and bars Yeah I felt every sting of desire But it’s gone. I suck down a drink and sink into that hole I wait for the dream to hit me like a stone Where I sprout wings and hover all alone Explain Request ×
