lyrics

There isn't enough thawed
out oxygen to share
fossil fuel icicles
form in mid air

every heavy breath that escapes
paints an iceberg
falling …loud as
every war never heard

the hills appear dead
murdered by the sound of music
if you got a pen then you
better be ready to use it

i've buried notebooks covered in
puncture wound excuses
this elevated situation started
in still birth

waters of confusion
un-treaded and escalated during
attempted diffusion
by a delusional illusionist

telling stories from across
the crime scene tape
in a paradoxical
PVC dream of escape

winter is coming
can't you feel her translucent
blistered little lips
that would melt on impact if

yours weren't already caught in
the bitter jaws of frost
frozen blood drips from
the bite marks feeling lost

but me!
-hook-
I'm the deserts last tree
i'm the stapled smile
nailed to your face after
all of my unpleasantry

I am my own lack of
acknowledgment of the problems
I am your neglect
that fails to see your options

i'm the skull of a bull
sewn to my chest cavity
i'm the repeated reason that
keeps you so mad at me

I am broken handcuffs
for a rules i'm not abidin'
but you don't have to find me
it's not like i'm hiding, i'm

a glorified pirate
a fucking war siren
a walking metaphor
the fear that terror saw

i'm a torn constitution
for their broken promises
i'm a burned institution
for your lack of common sense

I'm the ghost inside your
dehydrated illusion
the voice of your hunger
pains telling you to do shit

time to make moves kid
I know your grip slipped
but you better not lose it
I am the influence in
you music
