about

this one's my favorite

lyrics

my throat is hoarse
i think there is a bug crawling around in there
it’s legs tickling the inside walls
its small fanged mouth sucking up the drops of moisture
leaving me croaking for air
i smack my tongue against the top of my mouth
begging for liquid
trying to whisper beneath my tired breath
but i’m growing hopeless
for each vowel i speak
is swallowed up by a hungry insect
fattening itself on my silence

confide in an object, hollow honey inside
pink pursed lips and glass green eyes
cause you didn’t like many boys
your best friend was but a toy
and I’m wishing porcelain limbs could save
you wishing fate could be erased

but darling, don’t cry, don’t cry again
press bruised knees up to your chin
don’t let the darkness creep back in
don’t let him hurt you with his grin
hold tightly to your sane sin

scarred man hands, smells like beer cans
feelings of dirt, try to understand
these cuts and blood and hurt
he’ll damage more with his words
its time for your medicine
shaking moans, baby’s delicate

but darling, don’t cry, don’t cry again
press bruised knees up to your chin
dont let the darkness creep back in
don’t let him hurt you with his grin
hold tightly to your sane sin
