There's nothing to be said
when someone takes the easy way out
promised you wouldn't die
a Lie, lie lie lie lie

Seánced you and begged
for your gifts that you no longer need
Needle in, never bleed
goes 'round, 'round, round, round round

 

Close my eyes when you ice prick }
My shoulders when you squeal }
your rhyme and rythm still a part }
of what we became _ (sung catholic choir)
incumbus relations, taste invisible sweat }
taste jasmine tea on lips no longer mine }
maggot food now, and I adore you still }

Years pass by like days spent hungered
like home without warmth
like family without warmth
like shower in ice water
like hate without target
like love without partner
like days never spent

There's a touch left unfinished
Because you took the easy way out
Too temporary for future, we all
all die, die , die die die

And you went and selected your time
forgetting we'd all be going ground with you
man, you fucking promised
we lie, lie lie lie lie

Always unfinished
Scratch like phonograph
In the dark I hear you laugh
