lyrics

Downcast avenues clutter the chambers of my heart
Last rains at my lungs flood from blisters to my tongue
Desperate seasons cloud my dreams in an effort to imbrue
Let this heavy hearted plague ensue
Hopeless in attempt to address this all to you
You fucking ran me through
It’s always on morose nights like these
That these letters somehow make it home
I hope each word shatters your every dream
And pray it kills you just the same
With promises to leave just as I came
I never wished for things to work out
Only to dull your blades in this dire drought
Love songs were never quite my style
Well fuck, it just took me a while
My apologies if this never makes it through
This is me bidding farewell to a rather dead you
Well acquainted with tattered wrists
A pale throat with a smiling slit
I’m just counting down to when I should commit
From above the entire world is blue
A cluttered landscape for those still lost and bruised
I’ve run aground with little more than a sound
Try to depart with broken wings
I’ll burn as every blackbird sings
This is the end of every love I hoped to forget
Dreamscapes as my only home
This is now my only regret
My mistakes will forever anchor me to you
You fucking ran me through
