lyrics

the sweaterless seasons pass by with reason or rhyme
& the calico mimes all start breathing

symmetrical motions will cause my emotions to shrink
all the while you will think they are growing

so pull on you strings to tighten the lace
push out your chest ‘till it strangles your waist
& when your dress starts to tear & decay
let it fall to your feet, I’ll come find where you lay

Unmasking the flowers will cause you to cower in fear
I’ll be near when the years start to tower

my final timidity longs to be rid of me now
& it’s begging out loud for lucidity

holiday visions will end in decisions of love
spilling down from above your religion

now we live in a dream but the image still seems so alive
stretching, ripping outside through the seams

now I’m an infant all covered in glass
will you hold out your arms as I tumble through ash?
between your breath lies the unholy gash
that will bleed in the heat as it slowly attracts
