bloodstains
on the wall
I've been banging my head
on last names
short, tall
living, dying, dead
what was in it for me?
what did I wanna forget?
how was I supposed to know
what I hadn't learned yet?
who I wanted to be
wasn't any thing at all
landlord sold me
a sack of lies
he stole my skin
he stole my eyes
I found them in the barn
I'm fresh and wet and ready for the sea
this time no dark heart's harvest is gonna stop me
she came
in the night
eyes like coals in her head
my flame
shone its light
she sewed my up where I bled
it was as simple as that
I didn't pack anything
I just put on the pelt
and then I took off the ring
I never made any vows
I don't know how it got there
when you need to pay rent
it can cover my share
I am going
I am gone
now I know
I can't hold on
sing me home
I'm fresh and wet and ready for the sea
this time no dark heart's harvest is gonna stop me.
