lyrics

She’s laceless: they took away her shoestrings. Watch her aimlessly ringing in the new days so checked out of here with greasy hair in her eyes, blank distant stare. She’s sleepless, shoved her sheets aside. Moonlight bathes her, can’t sleep with open eyes and a knuckle-lock, knee-gripping the headbashed pillow’s unwilling. I haven’t been as good of a friend as I needed to be. New romance or neuromancy? The fault lies in the fault lines of your laugh lines. Like an ill-advised joke that just hangs like a ghost note. If I’m a closed-eye shaped canoe, then I’m not a coal baron but I’ll blacken things for you. All my questions sound like jokes. Is life worth living? Can I bum a smoke? T/y
