lyrics

There are more holes in the floors of Heaven than they let on.
And more reasons than not to break the necks of swans.
I won't leave my bed for days,
Or melt down the gold from my veins.

Where your eyes are supposed to be,
Nothing. Nothing that resembles me.

Where your eyes are supposed to be,
I see nothing.

They all have painted teeth,
Hoping the rope breaks or at least a release.
Put me to sleep, framed in cement.
Salt my skin until it's transparent.

Pull the color from my lips.
Push your finger through my eyelids.

Crush my windpipe,
Carve my ribs into keys.
Unwanted. Unloved.
And I don't need a thing.
