lyrics

you lay right beside me
conversation between us is sideways
i stare out the window into blind day
naked colour setting in to blind hate
pulled apart
and giving in, his lines fade

brutal bungee cord round your neck
i watch your life drain
and essentially suffocate
i saw the life give
over the last several months, i watched you cave in
checkered container grows claustrophobic
object permanence has been broken

i watch you die wrong
ballad turns hell song
symphony starts to break down
and it folds any day now

hysterical misery
was it ever a symphony
optical structure breaks and
you’re gone before i can blink

am i the song or the dancer
mouths filled up with plaster
and nothing comes after

you’re taped to tv,
that plays over inside me
in through my inputs and out through the tv
in through my inputs and out through my body
in through my inputs, out through my patterns
i watch your pixels sink into the lacquer
a digital memory so you always remember
our infinite sadness, the infinite tightrope
the infinite sickness, and bliss in your presence

i watch you die wrong
ballad turns hell song
symphony starts to break down
and it folds any day now

hysterical misery
was it ever a symphony
optical structure breaks and
you’re gone before i can blink

am i the song or the dancer
my mouth’s filled up with plaster
and nothing comes after

you lay right beside me
conversation between us is sideways
i stare out the window into blind day
naked colour setting into blind hate
pulled apart
and giving in, his lines fade

brutal bungee cord round your neck
