One day soon while the doe-eyed girls swoonâ¨
At the floor where your feet sit
â¨I'll throw you a fitâ¨
And i'll start throwing stonesâ¨
And say my,
how
youve grown,
â¨I just cant
believe
itâ¨â¨
Turn my face to the crowdâ¨
And i'll laugh right out loud
â¨As they spit, yeah, their teeth they just gritâ¨
On the sharp bits of sandâ¨
That I pulled from the pitâ¨
Where those cold days lay limpâ¨â¨
You can't live with these bones
â¨Turn them into a homeâ¨
Rolled off the slim fingers of
â¨A young girl who will roamâ¨
So you paint the walls redâ¨
And as your face hits the bedâ¨
What will you dream ofâ¨what will you dream ofâ¨
My first loveâ¨â¨
I cannot be this clone you want
â¨Nail-biting debutante, screaming
i
want,
oh,
I
want,
â¨No these words have flown
â¨Oh you should have known
â¨You fucking savant
â¨â¨You cannot love these bones
â¨That cannot be alone
â¨Rolled off the slim feathers of
â¨This unfeeling dove
â¨So you love that instead
â¨And as her wings hit the shedâ¨
What will you dream of?â¨â¨
You're pulling strings, you're pulling stuntsâ¨
Your lips are preening
In the dungeon where
â¨You built the ship that sails
â¨Among the tallest tales
â¨Between your teeth and wailsâ¨
Over the tines and scales
â¨That bind your feet with nailsâ¨
You're stuck in time
â¨You can't go back, my love... My love...â¨â¨
And this limp bird can't roamâ¨
As your mouth fills with foam
â¨Rolled off of your slim, tender tongueâ¨
So you swallow the dread andâ¨
It fills you with leadâ¨
And as the ground holds your headâ¨
What will you dream ofâ¨
Your limbs have bled dry
â¨And the days won't be kindâ¨
They will be peaceful in time
â¨When you speak your last line
