Mortars

In my mind You have tiny arms And you run Quickly when you hunt for meat Once again You tear my ligaments You're bleeding me dry Your breath on my cheek

My skin is looking concave Pierced again by your barbed ray Worn resolve It appears every night A cold expression to wear to bed A quick session of pretend A warm concept to grasp One try One try One try I just want one try One try One try I see in your eyes

I heard You just lost your job I heard they stole your ride I heard She's trying to take the kids I heard the ring won't fit Remain calm When You decide to burn it down Try to imagine that you'll drown I heard His friend drank himself to death I heard her friend drove off a cliff How'd it all get so deranged? Just be calm It's all the same When You decide to burn it down Try to imagine that you'll drown I said when You decide to blow it up Try to imagine that you'll fly Fly

Sally, you light up my whole world Seems to be you're the perfect girl Long shadows on your little brick stoop Dull evening in your tidy bedroom Sally, you always make me laugh You break me with what I cannot have I just want to show you how I feel A gentle touch before I disappear Long shadows on your little brick stoop Cold twilight in your tidy bedroom Don’t you see? I'm always hoping You don’t mind I’ll keep on waiting Toss all of your troubles on me Complain about your options, I'll project jealousy Wrap yourself up in cool sheets I'll put your mind at ease for free Long shadows on your little brick stoop Grim nightfall in your vacant bedroom Can't you see? I'm always open You're far off I can't keep waiting

Conversing too late I'll tug on your shirt sleeves Get my wish fulfilled I guess No paradise You're mine Oh, my dearest Don't you throw me care Nothing is promised I'll just laugh it off I cannot stand you Won't you tell me why? I'll spit on your reasons Vanity be damned But maybe I'll keep your face Where I don't belong At least that's how it feels But I'd be so right And you'd be good for me Yeah, I'd be good to you, bitch Don't you throw me spite Nothing is sacred I'll just laugh it off I cannot stand you Won't you tell me why? I'll trample your reasons Vanity be damned I hope I forget your face

I don't like you You're bludgeoning me with your club of expertise My sense is dulled by the stench of fallacy What is wrong? Explosions dance in my head Well here's the song There's no more time left to waste At the end of the day Say what you want I'll roll your venom up and toss it in the sea My vision’s blurred by a pallid apathy Right What is wrong? Explosions dance in my head Well here's the song There's no more time left to waste After all You're dying just to be heard The twisting crux Of what I'll work to starve out At the end of the day What is wrong? Explosions dance in my head Well here's the song There's no more time left to waste After all You're dying just to be heard The twisting crux Of what I'll work to starve out At the end of the day

What the records say What with flashing lights And she needs a place to pray, too Sent by my heart Carve up my ego We're friends with the same I'll drown in my crush Limestone protected by many sycophants And I need a place to train, too Oh, the dread I can't contain love You'll spend it with your friends You'll spend it with your friends

You said that you would cut it out and move on I guess I should have seen the problem to start Like a breeze, I blew into the frame Slow All the while, a downpour of my thoughts You said that you would cut it out and move on I guess I should have seen the problem to start Oftentimes, I wonder why you can't cease this Dreams were fried A canvas of shame Shame You said that you would cut it out and move on I guess I should have seen the problem to start And how you're always stuck lamenting the why I guess I should have seen the problem to start You said that you would cut it out and move on I guess I should have known you’d slip back down And how you’re always stuck lamenting the why I guess I should have seen the problem to start
