lyrics

This wine is my blood - drink it. I am the thirstiest vampire. Step on the cup while holding the bottle. Pour the contents on bills, ignite the fire.

Paralyze my body - move my limbs. Control leads to many mistakes. Grasping for the walls without the lights on. You see me through a black stained glass window pane.

Planted seeds in the garden. Never watered, only rain. Gardener's been away. Flowers in the sunshine.

A spoiled man in a lonely home brushing up dirt children from a filthy floor. Eyes looking up for a man that isn't there and a foot coming down scattering dust in the air. A man with children but not a father. Selling books with torn pages to the blind. Hands grazing paper, searching for braille. Answers I could never find. Not even in the highest of places. Limbs of trees sawn up and spat in faces. A man with dirt children but not a father.

Exhale glass winged butterflies. Red blurs float in front of my eyes. I'm sorry I'm not pumping oil from the ground or beneath my skin. I'm not your golden trophy ghost of the child in those pictures on the wall.

Indecisive. Liar. Pets in the toy box. Take absence. Waiting until the summertime. Proud - Pathetic. Cut the stitches from my mouth and vomit every word lodged in my stomach.
