In The Ditches (a life)

from Spine Adagio Part II & The Prince by Joplin Rice

/

lyrics

if she were gone I could keep my fingers still
if she were gone I would bury myself alive
it's not that hard
she said, "you're on some serious bullshit."
but what doesn't kill me, I can hide behind
the key is making sparks
before it reaches the heart

isn't every life unfinished?
am I right?
isn't every life unfinished?
left soft on the inside

if your expectations serve to nurture my frustrations
will you throw me in the ditches where the panthers lie?
marry me, forget we spoke, forget we met, fly back home
be satisfied, live in your bed, let it be gone, let it begin
I'm on something serious but it's not that and i fear for us
each moment that our fangs stay locked together in a kiss
wicked tessellations multiply
our precious figurines cry out in delight

if death is life and sex is life
then what's the life that's left inside?
forget the things that I may like
take your own desires
blow smoke out from your spirit
and I'll talk to myself all night
