lyrics

The wind split the sky in half, orange burst into the endless blue.
Whipped around like foam on a lid, pray now for the sky is split in two.
Is it day or night I can’t tell, the water it swells, swells, swells your airway. Peeling away the dark, like the skin on a snake, oh my what a display.

Breathe out, in and out through your mouth.
Fall down, grab hold don’t drown.
I don’t like you and you don’t like me.

Everyone I know, they were wrapped up in rugs.
All that could have existed under my existence, crawled up and down the walls like bugs.
I flipped and crawled over to my seat, as you came marching down the aisle with your beautiful smile.
Repeat it again, with the imprint of the man who you’ve loved for a while.

Your actions, a half-crowned ghost town.
Vulgar, they hold me down.
You don’t like me and I don’t like you.

I lay the master, I maintain no terrain, but I plug pets and friends with static to sustain.
My friend my brother, the chemical lab next door is seething.
Their pets so cute, I turn them on to keep them breathing.
Norma come see me in my dreams, present your knees and hands to me.
Norma come into my dreams, I wait so whole-heartedly.

Breathe out, in and out through your mouth.
Norma, grab hold don’t drown.
I like the way you touch me when you want my attention.
Your actions, a half-crowned cowards mound.
Vulgar, your tastes let down.
I hate the way you pronounce my name and express hate.

Dreams and moments from my mind to yours, in underwhelming times this may just be to you, another chore. ... more
