lyrics

From the warm blood under covers, to a cold vein, I still love her. I could write and not repeat it. Maybe then I might not mean it. But I cut all of our losses—tied them up, they’re in the closet. Just a moment, ever fleeting. Tied them up to stop the bleeding. Please wait, don’t leave my stubborn skull all alone. You can cross out the mask of fake laughter and ask if I’m joking. I’m full of bad ideas. Shut you mouth. I would kiss you goodnight but you’d break my jaw halfway. We cough when we kiss because crooked teeth and painted voices never were contrived when we were tongue in cheek. She will never know. Erasure, eternal snow. I’ll swear on my grave it was never that way. Take everything back if you forget everything. Something in my gut I can take to the morgue. Something I can say I can’t take anymore and she will never know. Erasure, eternal snow.
